If the fact that Dilla did all of this with an MPC while he was dying doesn't prove his genius and commitment to the game then I don't know what does. RIP

[@monophone903]

Ian Haskell I actually heard it was on an SP303. He used a few of the preset drum samples on Lightworks

[@tennisgenius]

Is that right? I thought that everyone who spoke on his time spent in the hospital following his death said that he produced it on an MPC. I could be completely wrong though. I probably should do my homework before speaking so definitively on something.

[@EMIN3MFAN96]

its almost like it was meant to work out how it did, Donuts releases just before he leaves. Dilla made a masterpiece while on the edge of life and death

[@nock3893]

Tyler Chapin it was on an MPC3000 I believe

[@jules9810]

Dilla used multiple samplers while working on Donuts but I believe the SP303 was the main one while working in the hospital.

[@omgwtfbbq_1]

Crazy how he completely changed the way samples sounded, it's not just speeding them up... There is some sort of magic trickery going on. They don't sound anything like the original samples

[@CMSINFAMOUS]

That's the power of an SP-303 and timestretching. Really interesting stuff

[@mabul513]

Good when it's not 20 second cut on a sample. I think it's a bit better if makes it harder to hear what it's from. Or your kind of just hearing a tune you already know and probably like it as its known and easy on your ear. But making samples that make it hard to tell where its from or not a long music part like has been done is better. Or you have sting getting another no 1 because of the sample used in the poofy, puff the dragon or whatever his name is. He used so much of the sample people related to original and sold much more and is too much to take and have new song! Many have took sample and used it as is without making it fit as it entire song! There's a point when a samples taken over the song and they sell as oh I know this. Some musicians take the piss. Dilla was original and made to do this. Shame died so young.

[@samwatson1607]

[@DreThaOnedaTV85]

Sean i thought i waa the only one

[@jamesthomas3756]

I love how J Dilla was able to bring out the emotions and mournfulness in the samples he used. How he gave subtle insights into his own mindset during his last few months. Even the track-listing gives insights to what was going through his mind, such as 'hi' and 'bye' or changing 'only one can win' to 'two can win', trying to change the inevitable. The creativity on Donuts is absolutely stunning but what truly makes it amazing is the emotional power of the record

[@realmczappa]

James Thomas hell yeah...well said. I'm kinda ashamed to admit it, but I've only started getting into Dilla in like the past two months. KRS-ONE, Rakim, N.W.A., Public Enemy, BDK etc. were more my style. But now that I've had a chance to appreciate his work, it's quite clear that he was a very talented, creative, innovative artist. There won't be one quite like him in a million years.

[@adianrossmarlar9128]

MC Zappa I started cause this video it's sad most people I know want say he trash and disrespecting him and saying I only care about his music cause he's dead while they listen to the same trap beats over and over again. mainly my brother I'm 16 and I can't walk do to cerebral palsy and Dilla taught me I can do anything I own a Mpc and I hope to be signed someday.
