Today marks the anniversary of Dilla's passing. I was reading Wax Poetics' Dilla special yesterday and got reminded about this track, which my flatmate also rediscovered recently. Beat is so sick. Fantastic Vol. 2 really was ahead of its time.
Today marks Jay Dee's birthday. Happy birthday sir.Great vocal of one of Donuts' best beats. As a bonus I did a 30 min Dilla selection to mark the occasion last night. Hear it at the link below about 40 mins in. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/12514775
Today is the first day of Dilla month. Last night my flatmate played me this chop Dilla did of Man's World which I'd somehow never heard. It's, unsurprisingly, very good. Dilla really was on another level. Make some time for Dilla this month, bump an album, listen to a beat tape, celebrate his music. I may or may not post a Dilla song a day for the rest of the month. Regardless, RIP to one of the greatest.
