Huge producer, one of the best there was and ever will be. What he could do with samples to create beats was incredible. A perfectionist and you could tell, amazing producer. I've got endless ammounts of his material whether it's his work with Slum Village or unreleased beat tapes and snippets of his work.
I've got a playlist on my iPod of my favourite Dilla beats from the variety of artists he worked with. On shuffle it's a joy. If anyone wants to check out some of his best work (imo) then try some of the tracks, and I'm sure the die hards like myself can appreciate the list. It goes like this:
The Pharcyde - Runnin'
Q-Tip - Let's Ride
Slum Village - Untitled/Fantastic
Slum Village - Get Dis Money
The Roots - Dynamite
De La Soul - Stakes Is High
Common - Dooinit
J Dilla - Airworks
J Dilla - Won't Do
Slum Village - Fall In Love
Guru - Certified (feat. Bilal)
Busta Rhymes - So Hardcore
A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again
Q-Tip - Vivrant Thing
Erykah Badu - Didn't Cha Know
Erykah Badu - My Life
Jaylib - The Red
Common - So Far To Go
A Tribe Called Quest - Find A Way
Common - The Light
Bilal - Reminisce
Common - Love Is
Busta Rhymes - Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check (The Jay Dee Bounce Remix)
What are everyone's favourite beats (so many to choose from)? Could do with adding a few more tracks for a bit of variation, it was only roughly made one morning when I wanted some Dilla.
