How to listen to "Don't Cry": 1. Get comfortable. 2. Play the song. 3. Try not to cry. 4. Cry a lot.

How to not make it less than how you feel: 1. Don't pay attention that the original writers of that music were 20x more talented than Dilla. 2. Don't recognize nobody even gave a fuck about Dilla until he died, that somehow makes you 10x better in your craft than when you were alive. 3. Cry knowing Exile is a better DJ/Sampler/Producer, but hasn't died yet. So most people never heard of him.

[@Diwani_Spark14]

Dilla was simply next level. A scientist. A genius. I nearly cried reading Dilla Time. Legendary. According to the book he added a little sample that was an ode to his daughter’s mother he added Ok Joy. Man Dilla is still missed but lives on. I love what you are doing with this channel.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

Thank you so much! I really just want to show as people as I can who don't understand how much artistry involved in hip-hop music to know why it's so great.

[@luthervaughn1]

I feel that. I banged Donuts for years, and a lot. Still bang that. But it's time people are serious, sampling takes skill, but it's like 1/4th the talent of the producers of the original music DJ's use. I know y'all niggas gonna hate on that, but it's the truth. You know it, you'll argue.....but there's a reason why original music hasn't been coming out like the 70's was just bangin' shit out. Honestly, fuck Dilla. He was overrated, he only got that respect when he died. It's what weak humans do and create to feel like they cool. You know it.

[@xlxl9440]

He was LITERALLY a scientist making Hip Hop music. He was an A+++ Engineering student that could have went into quantum physics. But he was chosen to make HIP HOP music instead.

Ima keep it real, one night 2 years ago right after a breakup I cried to Don't Cry. Shit felt so good haven't cried since.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

It's okay for men to cry sometimes. I'm not gonna lie, one time I teared up when I was listening to this song. I thought about how he's no longer with us, and how it might have been a message directed to his loved ones. And also, how technically skilled he had to be to even make something like this. Not to mention that he was literally ill at the time.

[@micknight8158]

Last CD I copped outta my favorite record store. 2006. I bought it just because I knew who he was and what tracks he had under his belt like the tribe stuff and stakes is high. I didn't know he had passed on, yet and it was like around May when I purchased it. Still have it sitting on my interface and play it occasionally. Yes, don't cry stood out because of all that chopping he did. Basically massacred that track. There are a couple of videos about people remaking it. RIP Jay-Dee aka J Dilla.

[@morganjones6401]

Don't know if people still talk about this track but in my opinion as a producer from the Metro Detroit area, this song is fire, however Madlib's track Two Pay for Jay( No Dough No Show) is the ultimate rebuttal for this track! Madlib learned Dillas technique and applied it to this track and it is nothing short of amazing!! If you listen to the original track by Julius Brockington and hear how Mad flipped it, you'll literally sit there in awe!! Truly brilliant and probably one of the best Madlib tracks to date(well... besides Crate Diggin' by Lootpack)!!

[@tahajiyeedwards1444]

So..when I first started making beats, it was in GarageBand, a very early version, in around 05', 06'..and at the time, it didn't have any time stretch, or functional pitch control, or even a dedicated sampler. However, one could manually drag and drop in mp3s, and edit into slices, then, oddly, drag and drop slices onto the musical typing window, and play them. Still though, no slowing or speeding up samples, everything chopped on the kicks and snares, and played at my desired tempo. Producer friends would often trip out on what I was doing, and making unique bangers on free software, with all of the limitations...but it gave/gives me an different sound, that I went on to perfect, and use to produce numerous projects. It wasn't until YEARS later, that I found out dilla was doing this, intentionally, to purposely build a vibe, not out of neccestiy, like me, the entire time....told me I was on the right path

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

It's really bugged out to think that Dilla was purposely manipulating the machines that he was using to get the sound and feel he wanted. And that it was different than what everybody else was doing. Everyone knows that you can sample and chop with an MPC, but the rhythms of his drum programming was extraordinary. What DAW or hardware do you use to make beats now?

[@leanhngo2944]

[@tonychopper9142]

@1:35 YOU KIDS IN PROFESSOR DOUTHIT'S CLASS TAKING NOTES??

[@saintrumi]

One thing Vox got wrong about this though… at this point Dilla was chopping things up in pro tools at Common’s crib to make beats. He didn’t even have the physical strength left to sit at the MP and chop. Dilla was such a master of sampling that he heard new songs in every record he listened to, and had them cataloged in his head, so much so that he could still make tracks out of them even when all he could do was point and click. He made beats like it was breathing. Like it was something he had to do.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

Only thing is, we don't know when he made what beats. Vox might be wrong if he made that in the hospital, because the MPC was too big for him to have in the hospital bed. But I don't know whether he made that beat whenever he was still home or not.

[@saintrumi]

Yeah for sure. Crazy though like how he gifted a record to Quest and was like “yo I’ve got a joint on here for you” like he knew when ? heard the track he’d know exactly how to make it. People mystify Dilla’s process with the MPC and I guess my point is that it had nothing to do with the MPC really. It was dilla’s brain that had the magic. It was how he heard music. He literally listened to music as bits and pieces of other, new music. That’s why he was and will forever be the master of the sample.

[@user-cf9nl1gq9g]

Now I got it. J Dilla was a father to Kanye's style

[@user-bd1iu7nq6m]

I get into heat arguments with cats who bash sampling.

[@BackToTheBoomBap]

yep there's people out there who do it. I have a video idea in the works that kinda addresses this.

[@tonychopper9142]

I just laugh at those type of cats because they never really seem to catch the essence of sampling. They only stand at the threshold of that world while we're immersed in it. Funny thing is, nobody that likes sampling ever seem to bash actual instrumentals or musicians......
