2640396, Premo >>>> Dilla ....Sorry (Best 25 Beats per Producer) Posted by Thanes1975, Fri Dec-16-11 05:31 PM
Premo >>>> Dilla ....Sorry
First off, Dilla is legendary and his death make him bigger on the internet and quote on quote hip hop heads but to me, if you take PREMO best 25 beats vs Dilla best 25 Beats...Premo wins to me. I love Dilla beats but the beats Premo did for Nas, Jay-Z, Jeru, Group Home, MOP, and Biggie (I'm not even talking about Gangstarr) to me place him above Dilla. Yes, Dilla might have edged Premo in "technical skills" but ........I ENJOY PREMO BEATS BETTER SO HE IS BETTER TO ME...dont get me wrong, The Tribe and Pharcyde joints were crazy but if you listed (the song choices would be different) the 25 best beats from each, Premo would win to me. Now, if you are talking about riding around with instrumentals, Dilla might in in that department.
Just my thoughts...
1. Who is better to you? 2. Best 25 Beats...who wins? 3. Who has the best fully produced LP?
Me:
1.Premo 2. Premo 3. Premo: Moment of Truth or Daily Operation is better to me than any fully produced Dilla LP (Jeru and Group Home debut possible also)
Again...just my thoughts..

I'm waiting for someone to post what they think is his Top 25 Beats and compare them to the 25 I named. Again, I didnt even name ANY Gangstarr songs. And no, Fan Vol. 2 is not better than Moment of Truth or Daily Operation...hell out of here..lol
|
2640434, RE: Premo >>>> Dilla ....Sorry (Best 25 Beats per Producer) Posted by LosOne, Fri Dec-16-11 07:21 PM
> >1. Who is better to you? J Dilla >2. Best 25 Beats...who wins? This is a tough question but imo I'm still picking J dilla >3. Who has the best fully produced LP? Dilla- fantastic Vol2
This just my thoughts. A huge reason I picked Dilla is because his style was always changing and evolving. Primo stayed mad stagnet and as much as I hate to say it, he just doesnt drop that much heat anymore.
Dila has all these different phases throughout his career. Jay dee-all the early sv and Tribe Stuff J Dilla(pre stones throw)- Fuck the police/ J-dilla(during stones throw- he was getting super experimental towards the end of his career. Not only was it wierd as hell but it was all still fresh!! Ex- nothing like this
Dont get me wrong I love Primo but I feel liked he peeked already. Even if you look at that list above, almost all of those songs were made in the 90's. And James Yancey is basically responsible for a whole style being created--Neo Soul. (im not a fan of the term but he's basically the GodFather of that sound imo.
Sorry if this not written out so well. I'm hiding in a cubicle typing on my iphone....

You can't really go wrong with the 3 of them.

a boy who loves Primo
and I'm the Pete fan
so I mean, you can't be mad at any of them.

Dilla is right behind them

I like J. Dilla. Love him, even. But I can no longer say he is better than DJ Premier. In fact I can't say anyone is. But they are both great for us and have done a lot with the machines and stuff. If you don't know this, I hate you.

2640536, RE: I don't think Donuts is his best thing ever. Posted by Thanes1975, Sat Dec-17-11 11:18 AM
Donuts is pretty good. Not Classic. Dilla might technically be better than most but Premo is the best beat maker to me. I know people think Dilla is Stevie Wonder on here (I love Dilla) but come on....
I'm waiting for his Top 25 beats to be shared..

2640541, Dude, a "Top 25 Dilla Beats" list won't mean anything. Posted by third_i_vision, Sat Dec-17-11 11:39 AM
Just as I'm sure your Top 25 Preme joints are subject to change at any moment (mine sure is), Dilla's "list" would be the same way. They were both too prolific to have their catalogs whittled down to some "best of" ranking.
I might come back in here later and post my 12/17/11 "Top 25 Jay Dee Beats of All Time" list...but I feel like you'd just run it down one-by-one with weird comparisons to Daily Operation beats, "That one was DOPE, but not as dope as __________," etc.
I personally think we've done enough Dilla vs whoever posts, but I'll keep an eye on this one.

If you have seen any of my post I dont argue or run down people opinions. I would just say "I agree" or "Disagree"...that is all I would do. I'm curious to see his top 25 beats by a fan. But no playa...I will not bash your opinion..Im really on here just messing around with some good ole hip hop talk...

2640559, Oh you're cool with me, man. Posted by third_i_vision, Sat Dec-17-11 01:00 PM
I wasn't implying that you'd get hostile or anything. I just think that there's a HUGE portion of Premier's catalog that would be hard to place side-by-side with a lot of Dilla's work.
In any case, I'll post a Top 25 Dilla list later on this afternoon. Never attempted that before.

2640549, Three Reasons Why I Liked J-Dilla Over Premier Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Sat Dec-17-11 12:15 PM
(1)J-Dilla had three different beat styles ((1)his smooth, loud snare/handclap, dope bassnote vibe, (2)his beat/gen beats, & (3)his beat konducta/donuts style of beats); sorry to say but Premier has had two different styles and he's been doing his second style of beat making over & over for almost 20 years now (yeah I love it but it gets kind of stale if the beat isn't up to par especially when he got soooo many dope beats from the past that's hard to out do).
(2)The way he would flip a sample even if it was recognizable, he would still make it sound different than another producer would flip it; Premier is good at this as well but Premier chops up his samples and use them sparsely but J-Dilla would use more than 3 to 8 seconds of a sample and still flip it nicely.
(3)He rapped and flowed well especially over his own joints, even his grunts and adlibs make a beat sound dope; yeah Premier doesn't rap but I will say this, Premier will always have that upper hand when it comes to scratch montages/chorus.

2640914, here's the problem with these arguments Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Mon Dec-19-11 08:57 AM
>(1)J-Dilla had three different beat styles ((1)his smooth, >loud snare/handclap, dope bassnote vibe, (2)his beat/gen >beats, & (3)his beat konducta/donuts style of beats); sorry to >say but Premier has had two different styles and he's been >doing his second style of beat making over & over for almost >20 years now (yeah I love it but it gets kind of stale if the >beat isn't up to par especially when he got soooo many dope >beats from the past that's hard to out do). >
you could say the exact same thing about what Dilla was doing at different points I found his beats boring to a great degree, case in point the 2oo5 beat tapes that preceded Donuts they all have the same drums, same chopping, same everything I don't hold it against him at all, and it doesn't diminish him in my eyes because he was working out a style and you can hear it but what you're talking is stylistic preference, and that's definitely cool and I'm not saying you're not entitled to your opinion but the 'style switch' thing doesn't really make someone better than another that doesn't do it Duke Ellington did big band shit for 5o yrs, but when Miles was doing fusion nobody was saying "Duke needs to get with this shit here" and being honest, Primo has 4 different style switches; the more rigid NMNNG sound, the DO/SITA style, the HTE/more natural bounce shit he was doing up until 96 or so (the drums on the Crooklyn Dodgers shit is the apex of that sound to me) and the 'I'll chop anything and you'll never get the source unless I tell you' shit he's been on for about 15 yrs they're all dope to me so iont have the issue you do, but both Dilla and Primo have punched below their weight class beatwise a time or two
>(2)The way he would flip a sample even if it was recognizable, >he would still make it sound different than another producer >would flip it; Premier is good at this as well but Premier >chops up his samples and use them sparsely but J-Dilla would >use more than 3 to 8 seconds of a sample and still flip it >nicely. >
all top-shelf producers do this, you might need to explain this one more when you hear a Primo flip, you know its him when you hear that Dilla shit, you know it's him
>(3)He rapped and flowed well especially over his own joints, >even his grunts and adlibs make a beat sound dope; yeah >Premier doesn't rap but I will say this, Premier will always >have that upper hand when it comes to scratch >montages/chorus.
I'll always love the way he made himself an instrument on his shit, and the reason for it is because he wasn't on some "yeah I'm the shit for even trying this" type shit, he did it because it felt good which is something I'd hope more producers would take in mind he knew not to get in the way of the music, a lot of his followers would do well to follow that logic

You are completely entitled to your opinion, though, and I actually think a better debate rests between Pete Rock and Dilla as Premier is third to me behind them.
I'm starting to really think Pete Rock is the GOAT though...

2640710, My top 25 Dilla Jawns Posted by bentagain, Sun Dec-18-11 11:06 AM
1. Runnin – The Pharcyde 2. The Red – Jaylib 3. Airworks – J Dilla 4. Genesis - Busta 5. Fall in Love – Slum Village 6. Won’t Do – J Dilla 7. So Far To Go - J Dilla ft. Common and D’Angelo 8. Get A Hold – ATCQ 9. Nothing Like This – J Dilla 10. Forth and Back – Slum Village 11. Stakes Is High – De La Soul 12. Sometimes (Remix) – Brand New Heavies 13. As Serious As Your Life (Remix) – Four Tet 14. Got Til Its Gone – Janet 15. Can’t Stop This – The Roots 16. Find A Way – ATCQ 17. Didn’t Cha Know – Erykah 18. Aquarius - Common 19. The Light – Common 20. Climax – Slum Village 21. Nag Champa – Common 22. Common – Love Is 23. I Don’t Know – Slum Village 24. Show Me What You Got – Busta 25. Get Dis Money – Slum Village
I find it ironic that you would say no Dilla produced LP can stand up to Premo, because IMO, Like Water for Chocolate has my favorite production for a hip-hop album
It's also ironic that, IMO, there are only 2 perfect hip-hop beats Mass Appeal Runnin
I think the comparison is limited because Premo stayed in 1 lane
Personally, I give the nod to Dilla because where production in hip-hop is now
I mean, a dude like Kanye made a career off of Dilla's Donuts technique
and then Dilla gets to Won't Do and Nothin Like This toward the end and cats are just starting to catch up to that now
easily my 2 favorite producers
but I stopped checking for Premo jawns a long time ago
I'm still collecting Dilla Jawns
it might be hard to measure, track for track, or however you want to do it
but if you just run through this list, and note the different types of vibes, sounds, techniques, etc...that Dilla perfected
whereas a list of 25 premo beats will have the same technique freak 2 samples over a premo bounce
I don't think it's close
and for the record, hard to earn was premo's best, IMO

2640722, this isn't exactly the best approach of comparing the two. Posted by L.E.S., Sun Dec-18-11 12:51 PM
yes Premo probably produced better individual Hip-Hop tracks over the years. Premier owns a sound that we associate with the early 90's NY Golden era of Hip-Hop. So all of those Gang Starr joints bring us to that place, as do the Jeru joints.
But Premo also had the benefit of producing classic tracks for Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Big L and countless others. So even if we love Dilla's beats (which we do) and love Fantastic Vol 2 for example, you can't compare BIG's "Unbelievable" to SV's "Get Dis Money" even though I think Dilla's beat is crazier, funkier, lovelier and more dynamic than Premo's.
Premo is one of the greats. Dilla is one of the greats. Premo has the benefit of having worked with some of the most iconic rappers ever and he fed them classic beats.
BUT, a premo instrumental album gets boring after you don't hear Guru or Jay or Nas go in on it.
Not Dilla. Shit some of SV's verses are totally mumbled and inscrutable, and the beats still got me with my ugly face on, neck jerking like, BAATIN IS KILLING THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE and I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DUDE IS SAYING!
That said, when legendary MC's do spit over Dilla beats (e.g: Stakes Is High or when you hear that joint BIG did over Dilla) the result is powerful.

when Premo produced for NAS,BIG, and Jay they were NOT iconcs they all were rookies in the game so its really not fair to say he had "the benefit" of producing for them.

2643888, ok fair enough Posted by L.E.S., Wed Dec-28-11 08:16 PM
we'll give Premo credit for selling his beats to good prospects.
like these dudes didn't have all the hype in the world around them before their first albums dropped? NY used to be a small city, so to speak.
but whatever, I'll give Premo props for providing his beats to up and coming talent. But that being said, he was the sound of NY in the mid 90's so naturally they were going to him for that.
I mean I'm born & bred NYC yo. So nobody on the innanets needs to convince me how great DJ Premier is. That dude is like the soundtrack to my upbringing.
The fact that I can even see it somewhat objectively is twisted. I should be in here claiming Premo as the undisputed heavy weight champ of all time.
but what can I say, J Dilla changed my life too! In a different kind of way.

Large Professor is a better beat maker than DJ Premier.
So is No ID....So is Pete Rock......
DJ PRemier is one of my faves but after moment of truth has only maybe a few ACTUAL good beats.
His new stuff is trash for the most part. I could make better beats than some stuff he is putting out now.
I love Dilla...He is one of my faves....But even he is over rated to a point. But not because of his faults....just because of his legend. He isn't around to have a downfall like premier is.

I might like 'Resurrection' as much or more than any DJ Premier album, but the only reason that you're dropping his name is because he's what "they" call "relevant" nowadays.

2640937, RE: Premo >>>> Dilla ....Sorry (Best 25 Beats per Producer) Posted by Mr Tan, Mon Dec-19-11 10:06 AM
Love both obviously but I think Dilla edges Premo in his range but its a really hard pick for me though. Almost like choosing which one of your kids you prefer. You might just get lazy and pick the one that starting wiping his own ass first.

2641214, best 25's are worthless imo Posted by Small Pro, Mon Dec-19-11 07:36 PM
dilla wins w/ his versatility and technique, but dj premier's run from 1992-1998 is pretty unfuckwitable by anybody not named rza.

2641249, RE: best 25's are worthless imo Posted by Thanes1975, Mon Dec-19-11 09:57 PM
If that is the case, does Dilla have a six year run or was his greatness scattered from 1996-until he passed on? Just curious to get your thoughts..

2641706, His "run" is just as impressive. Posted by PCProductions, Tue Dec-20-11 09:24 PM
Yet not coated with the talent that RZA and Premier were blessed to have.
RZA: All of Wu-Tang, which, at the time, was ripe with creativity, versatility and talent. Price Paul with the Gravediggaz is also nice to have on the resume, as well as a Biggie track.
Premier: Where do I even start with this guy. Guru alone could hold down a whole project on his own without getting boring. And then you have Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Jeru, KRS-One, Show and AG, and Rakim... just to top it all off.
I'm not trying to take away from both of their respective talents at the time (the fact that Group Home has a classic album should state enough for Premier's case), but as you can see, it's very easy to seemingly have a better "run" when more people are listening because of who's rapping on those tracks in the first place.
Now, RZA and Premier are both beat geniuses that deserve all the praise and laurels that they have earned, but to say that their runs were better than Pete and Dilla's isn't exactly true, if you ask me.
Pete Rock... this guy's run is just as hot, if not hotter, than both of those two. Both of the Pete and CL LPs, along with their first EP, hold up to ANY Gang Starr LP as far as production is concerned. Pete is also responsible for Biggie's staple track Juicy, as well as Tribe's We Got the Jazz. And those remixes... need I say more?
Dilla is a different kinda story. See, he didn't come from New York, which I think has more to do with this than you would think. Pete Premier and RZA all had the connections to work with the big names, while Dilla had to kinda ride on Tip's back to get a beat out there. But by the time 1998 came around, he was able to make a big enough name for himself on the underground. And as far as runs are concerned, Dilla's was nothin to fucks with from 1996-2002. His remixes stole the show on practically every occasion and his complete projects stand up there (again, production wise) with those of the previous three. Welcome 2 Detroit and Fantastic Vol 2 are beautifully crafted musical projects whose beats I would, without shame, pit against Moment of Truth's, Liquid Sword's or Main Ingredient's.
All four of those are top 5 producers, though, and at this point it's just picking a favorite that appeals mostly to your taste.

Great perspective but I'm from North Carolina so I'm not stuck on the New York sound. When I was in school I rocked with NWA, Snoop, Ice Cube, DOC, Ras Kass, Souls of Mischief, Scafarce, Mc Eiht & Death Row sounds just as much as I did Rakim, Tribe, KRS, Nas, Biggie etc..
I personally think Premo is just the best overall. Dilla songs sound better as instrumentals b/c he is a better overall musician but to me as far as rap songs, Premo has more heat.
Pete Rock Dope and you are right, thats a close one in terms of his run and impact..
