Discover Samples Used On Common's 'Like Water For Chocolate'

[@dn30001]

This is J DIlla at (ONE OF HIS) finest album moments

[@atribecalledhiphop]

Like Water For Chocolate is one of my all time favorite albums. Common was in such a groove and having the Soulquarians behind him on the boards set the tone. This record doesn’t have a single track that is skippable. Salute to Common Sense!

[@jlee5180]

Agreed! His first album and Like Water.... are really the only ones I got into . That's not a dis, he is a great MC. Respect. But, this album is near and dear to me. Thanks Vinrican!

[@michaelmclendon6368]

[@digitalmusicalart3494]

Nag Champa is in my Top 5 J. Dilla beats. How He flipped that sample, Sheesh!!!

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

top five jdilla beats nag champa and the light

[@praheightsixty8110]

One of my favorite Dilla beats and I'm a Dilla head...

[@Renasense]

The way you dropped into The Light was beautiful! Thanks again for a great video! 👍👍👍

[@Diwani_Spark14]

This album was such a classic. This is the album that made me aware of Dilla though I didn't know he was already churning out heat in the 90's. When you hear his flips of these samples it's nothing but genius. Add on Preemo, The Roots and D'angelo and Common's lyrics set up a classic release. VinRican Salute another mix well done

[@blacksheep5339]

R.I.P. Mr Caldwell and R.I.P. Dilla. Thanks for the great music from both of you.

[@thisanitthat]

Man he killed that blend when the " The light " song came on 👍

[@shenglongisback4688]

I want a whole song like that is flamez

[@christopherwhite8186]

The Light is the song that introduced me to Common Sense, love this album.

[@BrooklynMoor]

My Favorite Common Album beside Be! Rest In Power J. Dilla

[@hatxdal]

Year 2000! Fresh out of high school and no car. Just a bus pass and mp3 player that held 100 mbs worth of songs. This album & some loose SV songs were the only joints I needed in my growth that summer. Thank you Vin, for sparking those memories.

[@Topsey2000]

Wow your story relates to me so much. TBH there was a lot of great Hip Hop out at the time but that Jay Dee/SV/Common sound sounds so fresh even now. Peace from London

[@malikbukaiinyc900]

11:00 !!! Nag Champa is my favorite Comm joint ever.

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

favorite song common the light and nag champ

[@jasonbrooks5493]

One of the first cds I ever bought with my own money. I was 16 in 2000. Bought the album for the DJ premier single but the album gave me my intro to dilla. God bless

[@kololoko1541]

I bought this album in the tape format in Turkey on 2008. I Always have old cars so i can continue to listen to this tape and enjoy it. I drove so Many kilometers all over europe listening to this gem. Its truly one of my favorite albums of all time. I could listen to it for 800km drives. So many emotions. I miss Dilla so much.

[@06alwilliams]

This is my one of my all time fave albums!!!

[@_pennybags6210]

J Dilla changed lives man.

[@jaimemartinez2528]

Bar none this has been one of my favorite episodes. Vinrican stays killing it!! Common is a legend and this album is legendary, this shit was so ahead of its time...

[@dmaster5556]

I'm glad this one wasn't flagged and neither was the Busta episode or the Preemo/Professor one. I'm still bitter from getting to watch the Hard to Earn episode earlier in the day it was uploaded and then finding it missing a day later when I was gonna show it to a friend lol. And the damn Nate Dogg episode was smacked before I could even watch a second of it too.

[@jangdlla]

Very soulful this album love you dilla dawg!!!

[@sfgiants2532]

Dilla blessed this album!!!

[@Shizzbro]

"We be that, aphrodisiac..." All time favorite 🙏🏿 salute!

[@Yourfavphotog]

This was amazing! Thank you Vin! This is my absolute favorite Common album

[@benarmeni3370]

Man you did a really good job of keeping the whole video moving smoothly between tracks. It's not easy to do that for 20 minutes!

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

common favorite album classic dope favorite song the light jdilla rlp

[@youngconservative96]

Funky For You is one of my favorites off this album

[@sirguntas]

What's amazing is, with Dilla, he put so much THUMP in his translation of the sample.

[@prettytone2089]

[@ch_raney8801]

Bro, your transition from one record to another is ridiculously good! 3:42

[@tiggerman98able]

Yo u on a roll brother this is definitely one of my favorite common joints thanks Vin u put me on to so many old but new to me songs

[@Mochic45]

This is his best album IMO. Been hoping for this. Thanks VinRican. Ur the man!!!

[@basilthompson7515]

Happy Belated Birthday, Common! 🎂🎉

[@Topsey2000]

As a little kid I never even liked Common. Compared to DMX and Noreaga, Commons sound was so depressing and boring. But this album was the game changer! The first 2 singles were produced by the best 2 producers ever in my ranking, 2 Classic joints. Funky For You and Nag Champa took me into a different world lol. This album changed the way I thought about Hip Hop. Dilla had reached Super Saiyan level 3 mode by now, BEAST MODE! J Dilla had this and Fantastic Vol 2 out in the SAME YEAR? He should have been crowned the best producer in the game but Hip Hop just didn't see how far ahead he was....

[@invisiblecurious856]

3:57 4:36 masterpiece transition

[@FlukeDogg08]

Nag Champa, named before Common's song, is the finest incense ever smelled.

[@JT0661]

Loving it, Vin!! My soul thanks you, bro.

[@johnnyjz1284]

u killed that one. Dope

[@SHXWKMedia]

When u clippin but it’s jammin, Caldwell section was fire

[@digitalmusicalart3494]

You on your grind, let's get it.

[@qadrbrotherdiagne1491]

[@christopherfrazier4689]

DJ VinRican did common justice on this 💪🏽... Vin can you do a video on Comptons Most Wanted.

[@rickydjrick66harris56]

One of my favorite albums of all time. Dilla killed the production!!

[@EthicRadioArchiveReels]

I was 21 years old when this album came out in 2000

[@mosaicblue121]

[@momossco]

[@bjl510blkman]

[@4ba88f5]

For me, his absolute best album.

[@PatrickObiang]

Hi, VinRican. This Is Dope, As Usual. Thanx. Peace!

[@rwilliams4674]

Nice placement of that Nag Champa box. Salute dope mix!!

[@praheightsixty8110]

I was ironically burning Nag Champa watching this...totally unrelated. I spark incense to relax almost every night

[@StacksSats]

"Thelonius" 🔥🔥🔥🔥 14:11

[@ChrisTopher09]

[@adxnisb.w.1089]

How the hell did J Dilla flipped that Rick James record?!? Unbelievable !

[@TheLegendofRenegade]

Dude was a straight up genius

[@guillaumecarteret1642]

Not a flip ! He syncopated it as hell !

[@williemaykit9792]

Been waiting on this one for a minute

[@suihkubad]

This stuff is gold. Thank you!

[@Justice098]

This was a masterful album. You can put this on the list with any all time great album from any genre. I had this the first day it came out and still listen to it til this day.

[@matthewt8214]

How many projects Jay Dee had his fingers on that are timeless classics?!! This my favorite era of Dilla. 2000ish. Fantastic v2 and Like Water he's at fever pitch. Oh and then Premier just throws in one of the best beats of all time with 6th Sense. ❤

[@KRSwop1]

Dope. Loved that album.

[@goatmouthjones90]

Dilla brought the heat on this album and common showcased his lyrical skills

[@romansorge732]

One of the best Hip Hop Albums of all Times!!!

[@mylesmayhem6514]

Favorite joint on that album is the Questions. Makes you ask questions.

[@MrSimZOldSchoolRev]

Thank God for Hip Hop, Dilla The Genius... RIP. Common - Nuff RespeK

[@pavionphoto6879]

[@Cristian-cd2rc]

Jay Dee is still alive when we play his beats!

[@isaacmoreno332]

I was in jr. high when i bought his on cassette from then on i started making beats!!!!

[@adrianthomas4927]

Fantastic! Great vid.

[@devonmillar6287]

the Soulquarians CREATED Funk/Soul-Hop that era. Mama's Gun, Voodoo, Things Fall Apart, Fantastic, Vol. 2 & the two classics Like Water For Chocolate & Electric Circus. to me Common's best. Thank you Dilla for feeding real heads with your gift.

[@dn30001]

Thelonius.....how can a beat be so smooth and so HARD at the same fucking time?????

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

I could be incredibly wrong but I think this album went gold when it came out. especially when the single "The light" came out in 2000. Like I said in my previous comment on this album, my favorite albums of his are the first 4, and this is one of them. Because of his hunger for lyricism is still intact, the production and some of the features was good to have on the album too. A friend of mine met him at the airport in 2011 coming home from a trip but it was breif. He's the same person in real life as on TV. In recent years he's been consistent with that album releases which is good. He's a lethal battle rapper too. If he can go against the Westside Connection and Drake then he can go against anybody if fully provoked. To me he's one of the 🐐's!!

[@praheightsixty8110]

Yes it did go gold in 2000

[@CrossJeniel]

like water for choclate is one all time favorite

[@Nigmatics]

I remember buying this album the day it dropped from Best Buy. “I’m Morpheus in this hip-hop matrix, exposing fake shit!”

[@ChrisTopher09]

Commons Dad needs to narrate a whole movie!

[@mikejohnson8304]

I like how u did that mobbdeep sample for real

[@dynamic9016]

Classic Album by my favourite rapper.

[@MsLayila]

I live for the Fela Kuti sample! My favorite Fela song!

[@nastynate838]

Sonically, Dilla showcased his true wizardry on this record . This album is my favorite record by Common next to Resurrection . Not too many albums have their on dialect. When you here it before words are spoken , you know IMMEDIATELY that it's JD!!! (p.s check out the movie Like Water for Chocolate when you get a moment )

[@slimhungry8742]

Real hip hop at its finest

[@syciuplyte8494]

Gosh this year of rap was sooooooooo goooood. Common, Mos Def and The Roots released killer albums that year. (Like Water For Chocolate, Black On Both Sides, Things Fall Apart)

[@csscott9803]

Back to back #WaxOnly episodes

[@SEBKAL]

Loved this album, i has this album first time round, Ghetto Heaven with D'angelo but when that CD cracked and broke, I purchased another but to my horror, Ghetto Heaven somehow replaced D'angelo with Macy Gray...🤕

[@michaelbrown2220]

Dude, you’ve got me bouncin’!

[@damenjay1407]

This is rare art in music form.

[@PK-qx1wn]

CLASSIC 🔥

[@Justice098]

J Dilla killed these flips

[@shenglongisback4688]

Yo that translation with Bobby n the Light beat i want a full mix of that this album ulitmate

[@LeadWithLogic]

Like Water For Chocolate was to my definition of Hip Hop, what The Autobiography of Malcolm X was to my definition of Black manhood. This was a paramount moment for me. That era was so rich, it was like a Neo Black Renaissance in Hip Hop. It was a WONDERFUL time to be a Hip Hop head.....

[@Moni_G2E]

🔥🔥🔥
