J Dilla - Nag Champa (Instrumental) [Extended]

[@FelixSkura]

I was so depressed two years ago and kept trying to get out of Mississippi while making close to nothing. Ended up passing some certifications, finishing college then moved out of my moms house. I kept listening to this whenever I would study or drive home working overnight at a data center. 40 miles there and back at 5am then would wake up at 2pm to repeat the cycle again. I make more money now and I’m healthier but I don’t think I would have done it without Dilla’s music.

beautiful comment, wish you the best

[@uncleshreddedwheat6180]

You are never alone, when the beat places you in a frequency zone, use your mind to find remedies fantastic, then surf the feeling until the last kick, that's it feel the smile cascade across your sacred space, spill the moment like a lush inability to make it waste, time waits for no one so stay in the moment, claim the joy that you desire to officially own it, waste no more time being stuck in the past, happiness is perpetual all you have to do is ask, to be in the spotlight of the love that's eternal, write a happy narrative daily in your journal, the greatest love shines eternal to heaven and back, love of self is real when you know where you're at, you are here with us, the children of light, united as one eliminating the fight.

I remember when Dounts dropped. I was too young to realize what was really going on. We lost a real actual musical genius. Those words get thrown around a lot nowadays but I strongly believe his ear and musical mind was at a genius level. Looking back now, this dude just wanted to make music. Real music. Im just glad we still got these handful of incredible beats left so we can enjoy it while we can. I thank God for Jay Dee Beats sometimes no lie. Nobody else’s music makes me FEEL everytime I hear it. It’s a beautiful thing

[@JB-sv5pr]

Samuel Elizondo I’m sure his vibes where so smooth and natural ahead of the time ...... I seen you got some graff in your profile pick that shit gets me going because graph and basketball is what got me into rap when I was a kid j dilla takes me places to when I was young living in the city in Boston and gives me strength to sypher with any mc that’s steps to a beat love the music ! Wish I even knew the Album donuts I know nothing of it but I could name 100+ j dilla tracks he’s been my man for 10’plus years thanks to KZbin small world incredible production on his quality of music mahalo guys!

J Dilla, certainly one of the Masters of music, I remember shortly after he passed, I visited James Yancey’s gravesite, and I said a prayer for him at his Tombstone... I’ve never visited someone’s grave like that, and I just sat there thinking about all the contributions Dilla made while he was still in this world with all his music that I love appreciate. I’ll never forget that day I visited J Dilla’s grave, it only made my appreciation and respect and admiration for Dilla grow even more to where I find a connection with Dilla every time I hear his music being played. It reminds me that there are music producers, and then there is J Dilla, who has that visionary ear to hear breaks in a song a certain way no one else can execute or perform at his level. Only producer to me that can come near J Dilla would be Madlib.

Hey I wanna say that I just moved into my dorm at college away from home for the first time and your comment really helped me to realize I’m not alone in the struggle to get some headway in life. It’s really easy for me to get apathetic right now because I’m the first person in my family to truly try to commit to college by moving out and it’s been so hard to just try and be with people when so many of them take college so lightly… my mom and dad worked themselves practically to the bone so that I’d be able to see college at all. Hoping that things will get better once more people move in and I can hopefully find some people I can really resonate with. Right now I feel alone and confused and your comment reminded me that life takes us on many different winding paths but they can still be connected through beautiful music like this… anyways sorry for the super long reply I need to go to bed lol.

In 2000, I originally bought Common’s “Like Water For Chocolate” LP solely for the song “The 6th Sense”. I was completely mesmerized when I heard the full album, specifically this song. I had never heard beats and flows like that before. Everything I listened to was very “linear” to a degree prior to this. Although I had heard Jay Dee beats on Tribe’s 4th and 5th album, he had advanced to another level by this point.

Looking at this photo of Manhattan to this beat, I can't help but think about all the people just getting up out of bed, (or those going to sleep), the millions of people underground in the subways, a New Yorker getting into a yellow cab, or an every-day Manhattanite hustling down the street, and all of those people with the same thoughts about their next move, their next destination.
