(I cannot believe I haven't added this to the list already.)

"Nutshell" - the undefeated, unblemished, underrated, unfiltered, un-f***-with-able Phife Dawg
#hiphop #jdilla #28daysofdilla
It's still morning here in the Midwest, which means we're still just in time for some Monday morning Donuts. And, just for today, we're doing a two-for-one special on Donuts.
Day #27.1:

"Dilla Says Go" - #JDilla
Day #26.2:

"(Don't Know What You) Got 'Til It's Gone" (Ummah Remix) - #JanetJackson feat. #QTip
...What? I can do more than one song per day.
Fun fact: The original version of "Got 'Til It's Gone" was at least somewhat inspired by the #JDilla remix of "Sometimes."
(And when I say "at least somewhat," what I mean is "I couldn't find receipts to back up that statement." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

"Sometimes (Remix)" - #JDilla feat. #QTip (original by Brand New Heavies)
(FWIW, the Guardian article I included with Day #20's pick brought me here.)

"Whip You With a Strap" - Ghostface Killah (of the #WuTangClan)
Stray observation: Those lyrics are certainly a mood.

"Start It Up" - #ATribeCalledQuest
No additional thoughts here, other than that my "shuffle" button brought me here.

"Fisherman" - Yancey Boys (feat. J. Rocc & Detroit Serious)
#hiphop #jdilla #28daysofdilla
Day #21:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ncSt5xC8Uk
"Nothing Like This" - #JDilla
The only stray observation I have for today's pick is that the Guardian article I included with yesterday's pick brought me here.
Some liner notes and/or reading for your lunch break:
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/jan/27/j-dilla-suite-ma-dukes
"#JDilla is a modern genius. [...] He stood for taking a great risk on different levels, for continuous hard work and for courage. [...] He captured and represented the spirit of a particular time. What he did was so deep that he has influenced a huge amount of modern music. In an age when many of his peers are still more interested in vanity, Dilla was more interested in exploration through music."
And now, for some Monday morning Donuts. (And with a few minutes to spare before noon too! 😅 )
Day #20:

Day #19:

"Shoomp" - #DeLaSoul (feat. #SeanPaul)
As a sidenote, I was today years old when I learned that #JDilla did any kind of work with Sean Paul.

I just realized that I didn't add Day #17 to the main Thread. Oopsie-daisy...
(Day #17 was "Shake It Down," off of one of #JDilla's solo albums. Leaving this here and adding original post to the Thread.)

Not too much in the way of liner notes to add today, other than that one D.J. Jazzy Jeff was kind enough to bring me here.
