J Dilla Interview by P3 Soul (2003)

[@Panndaaaaaa]

I wrote an email to the interviewer to put this interview back online. So cool that he shared it with us again!

[@jordanhenderson3307]

I swear it was always on his website

[@Panndaaaaaa]

I found it in 2017 but without the audiofile.

[@asr10beats]

Thanks ! Dilla shared some tips.

Good one

[@yommish]

Probably the most insightful interview he did along with Gilles Peterson

[@p.tendergrass]

There's one he did in Eindhoven with INT from La Melodia.

I believe if you’re soul is strong enough it comes back to earth multiple times until it’s manifested its destiny..no matter what your passion is

[@TheNilobyreach117]

All souls came back til they are ready to not

[@papahawk3644]

Funny. When I read the well wishes and adoration for Dilla and his craft... I actually feel the sincerity and share that same sentiment. He was the brother that we all thought would do well... And surpassed all of our expectations.

[@denmarksoul1184]

This interview was done very well. It is like watching or listening rather to a documentary. The warmth of the audio makes it seem like I'm listening to a cassette or vinyl pressing. I haven't heard this interview before. Thank you for uploading.

[@jordanhenderson3307]

Yeahhh I agree, it's crazy how good the quality is. No Problem

[@Samuel-hp6op]

I think I heard that the interviewer still to this day records all his interviews on tape

[@denmarksoul1184]

@@Samuel-hp6op That is incredible! I need to do that with all my beats.

[@SoulN1]

man this video so uplifting..jus hearing him talk makes me enjoy his music even more...i have a really nice collection of his music and thats all i listen to now..im 50 yrs now and so ashamed that i didnt now about him early in life(late blommer)..lol...R.I.P..to the greatest to ever do it...luv JDilla..

[@jordanhenderson3307]

All good, definitely check that link then. He got so many interviews with the greats

[@elitserien95]

Mats nileskär : the interviewer from swedish radio. Hes radioshow is called P3 soul. He is a master. The best at what he does in the world ever . In my opinion atleast . He has interviewed the most of them. You can judge for youre selves. Hes Done interviews with people like isaac hayes, curtis mayfield, gil scott heron, mf doom, tupac , sly from the family stone. And alot of others.

[@jungle-wav1322]

Did this interview originally have all the beats in it? In that case, there were donuts beats done in 2003, crazy shit if that's the case.

[@jordanhenderson3307]

good question, i think it wasn't done too long after but I'm not sure. I know for a fact alot of the donuts beats he did were done at least ayear before he died, some were on beattapes

[@TheMattmatic]

Mats sometimes makes new episodes, updated with new music but using interviews with the artists that he did earlier. So that might be the case here. For example, he interviewed MF DOOM 2 or 3 times, KMD era, and later on and made one episode out of it later. He goes back to his archives a lot

[@xdark_matter00]

Nah it’s added.

[@jdillasmpc2774]

it’s added…the beats weren’t originally from the interview…this interview has dime piece which wasn’t even made yet lol 😂

I loved Frank and Dank, the whole vibe is just dirtyyy. A gritty sound from detroit. It's an arrogant type of sound but that's what i like about it.

You will learn all your life and still not figure him out. One thing you will do is give up acknowledging he is the best ever and you cannot recreate his sound.

@@DeadlyTyper42 In addition,Dilla would encourage people to forge their own sound. Dilla influences me but what's the point of being Dilla? No one can be him but him.

This is interesting, this interview was supposedly from 2003 (according to the title) and there are a couple of tracks played from Donuts which was released in 2006 and supposedly worked on in 2005. Either those tracks were already composed well in advance of the album’s release or the dating of this interview is off. Either way it’s a great listen. Thanks for uploading 👍
