Wielding an MPC drum machine, Jay Dee/J Dilla basically invented a new rhythmic time-feel - a "deliberate juxtaposition of straight and swing time" - that has been reproduced by beat makers and live musicians alike (e.g., Soulquarians, Robert Glasper).

Two changes for the price of one: J Dilla (James Yancey) creating loose beats, and The Roots making hip hop, sample-sounding music with instruments and voice only –

Nice piece by Micah Loewinger for On The Media about how music copyright law suppresses artistic voices in hip hop.

Mijn zoetige keuze: J Dilla's Time: The Donut of the Heart.
Hij overleed in 2006 toen hij 32 jaar was, drie dagen na zijn verjaardag en drie dagen na het uitkomen van zijn tweede soloalbum. Dat album had hij Donuts genoemd, want hij hield van donuts. Zijn carrière was net als zijn leven, tragisch gezien, kort. Maar desondanks mag hij worden beschouwd als één van de meest invloedrijke hiphop-producers ooit. J Dilla, echte naam James Dewitt Yancey, ontwikkelde een geheel nieuwe manier van beats maken, waarmee hij veel hiphoppers, jazzmusici, en neo-soulartiesten wist te inspireren. Hij veranderde de muziek.

Adding this to complete the trinity of #StakesIsHigh videos. This is a tribute the late, great #JDilla -- with friends, family and an orchestra. #Love, #vibration 💙

@SarahOestreich Posting this because it's Friday night & I love Mos Def & I'm pretending this is Central Park -- I'm in a New York state of mind.

Been watching this performance all week--#DeLaSoul killing it with the legendary #Roots. #Questlove alone is #hiphop royalty. Producer, author, drummer, dj, filmmaker, musician & music historian. His life was changed by De La Soul and #JDilla so you know this performance means something to him. Original founder #Trugoythedove passed last month, which adds another dimension. Check the comments on YouTube: many people are watching this with tears in their eyes. Tears of joy, too.

#JDilla produced the original #DeLaSoul track, Stakes is High, based on a precisely cut sample of Ahmad Jamal's 1974 track, Swahililand. One of the most famous loops in #hiphop --- the Ahmad Jamal track is also superb.

My current find in the mysterious #Degolash drive is boatload of #JDilla from Detroit, Michigan, famous for producing the #Pharcyde's genius sophomore record "Labcabincalifornia" among other greatness.
Right now I'm rocking his legendary "Donuts" record

One of the greatest moments in recent TV history: De La Soul and The Roots perform their stone classic, Stakes is High. Questlove holding down the #JDilla beat. There are other superb versions of this classic on the web, but this one is fresh. Makes whatever day you watch it #BlackFriday
