List your favourite songs produced by the man where the drums knock. Just your favourite drums.

I'll start with Busta's "Still Shining".

Absolutely SICK. The swing of the beat and busta's interaction with the rhythm is classic.

how can a simple pattern like that swing and knock so hard??
i love that song

von pea mentioned myspace in a rhyme back in 2004

The Red Giants are the shit.

Jay dee drums are crisp.

Also Ohno - Move and fourtet - as serious as your life.

I could wirte for days on this part

I think that's one of his most underappreciated

n/m

Although technically, they belong to Rene Costy and His Orchestra and even though Dilla chopped it up- he got the sample from a Madlib interlude.
But yeah, I'd choose that too.

VERY good one.

the snaps on that sh*t are almost violent. like somebody's hand was sore as hell after that sh*t.

"Fuck The Police"

Busta Rhymes - "Still Shinin" at least in how he matched the samples to it
"Shake It Down" (from Welcome 2 Detroit) - slow and sloppy. Classic Dilla.

Phat Kat - "Ain't Nobody Care About Us"

Fourtet - "Serious As Your Life Is" / Oh No - "Move Pt. 2" - same drumset, possibly J-Dilla's best drums ever, so he had to use them twice.

them shits POP.

Slum Village "Raise It Up"
Slum Village "The Hustle"
J-88/Slum "Get It Together"
Royce Da 5'9 "Let's Grow"
Jaylib "Raw Addict"
Jaylib "React"
Q-Tip "Breathe & Stop"

"Certified," Guru feat. Jay Dee & Bilal, Jazzmatazz 3

>
the whole Amplified album is Jay Dee & Tip,and DJ Scratch on a few cuts

First hear the demo...Then hear the one on Vol.2

WHen it breaks down later in the song...the hats? the drums?...genious. R.I.P.

those drums are part of the samples he took! which makes those drums no less dope, maybe even more impressive that he didn't add not one fucking hand clap or one hi hat and they still sound like something he would program. Dilla is the 7.

T-Love's "When You're Older".
Soo damn dope. And bangin'...
Prolly one of the more unknown tracks of Jay Dee, but I think this 1 was around on them beat tapes. I guess...
Anyone got the instrumental??? Any links???





R.I.P. Jay Dee

>T-Love's "When You're Older".
>Soo damn dope. And bangin'...

That's what i'm sayin.. put that on good speakers or headphones and you'll really see.

if people was interested enough, his whole discography would end up being called out

!

V.

just me..*shrugs*

boy is a white racist word!!



r.i.p Dilla

I agree with ya'll. I love Hold Tight (FV 2) and Nag Champa (might be the whole arr, not just the drums)

But I always liked the drums on reminisce (bilal)

yes, we're talking about drums here... but that may be one of the best basslines on a soul record. ever. the slight delay, the way it stays riiiiiiight behind the drums. i'll use the word again. genius.

closely followed by 'Don't Nobody Care About Us' he hooked Phat Kat up with...

Climax - Slum...

Tribe - Get ahold

wait wait wait.... we're talking about Dilla...


so my answer is his entire catalogue


He is the original Drum Master

Although I can always fuck with DRRRRRRRROP!

hmm... yet another Busta track. i remember someone said a while back that the drums "occupy their own sonic space" on that track. that pretty much says it all. it's like that kick's just... on its own shit. mixed as damn near perfect as you're ever gonna hear.

True, it's Long Red. But he EQ's the shit out of it..

since Dillas drums usually sound like perfection to me. I don't know how to explain this but y'all might understand. When I hear a Dilla drum track, I automatically feel, understand and appreciate what he was trying to do. And they tend to complement the sample/keys/bass perfectly. I almost shed a tear when I heard the drums from the Macy Gray "I try" remix (similat to Film Called Pimp drums). My man knew was so proud and confident of his drums that he let ir ride for the opening 8 bars or so...just the drums and the acapella. SICK.

i enjoy arguments. encourage them even. but there's ONE thing I refuse to argue. Dilla had the illest drums in the game. To argue would be contrarian for the sake of it.
