J Dilla "Still Shinning" Documentary

Director: Brian 'B. Kyle' Atkins #HipHop50

[@TheHoldmycoat]

2020 is the time we need a J Dilla documentary that tells the world how important J Dilla was to music. This is great, but it’s time everyone knows how much this man has influenced popular music.

[@bootybandit8919]

I showed all my friends j dilla educating them on real hip hop

[@pillowfolk1646]

For realll. The youth needa be cultured

[@bosssavage7768]

Hopefully Netflix makes one

[@onstr]

J dilla's genius can be appreciated across boundaries and tie people together in a time when we need it most. This is absolutely true.

[@SchizoSkillz]

His MPC's in the Smithsonian. That should tell anyone how important and influential he was to music.

[@Crates94]

Wow dope to see Dilla's mom noddin to his work.

[@tennisgenius]

+HowToMakeBeats She was (and still is) always extremely proud of his work. Ma Dukes has to be one of the most amazing mothers out there, and to see how supportive she is of everything her son did and the greatness he achieved is really touching.

[@trentyates418]

Dilla was definitely sent on this earth to make music. When he left, it was devastating. But the music he made before his passing is golden. I know he making music with god. RIP Dilla

The man literally created a subgenre of hip-hop that can be heard in everything from neo-soul to trap inspired music of today. He went beyond just being a hip-hop producer on so many levels. He was, is and always be my biggest musical inspiration of all time.

As an MC, Dilla is severely underrated. His verse on Thelonious outshined Common's...

I thought he was wack on the mic but I love him

[@yichenyichen5455]

[@charlesmoore3654]

I remember when I first saw that picture of Dilla in a hospital bed with a MPC cradled in his arm. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. With that being said,when I looked at that picture,I was able to see a glimpse of his spirit and character. He had a lot of depth. Rest Easy Dilla!

[@davidpitrman9326]

When Houseshoes says: "What can you do in 15 minutes? Huh? Find a fuckin sample? Beat is done, and it's the best shit, you've ever heard in your life." So strong and truly sentence.. And it realy proves my point, that J Dilla was genius of his era. R.I.P. J Dilla. You're still here with us, cause of your music.

[@ruggid11]

DRE EVEN SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT DILLA IS HIS FAVOURITE PRODUCER

[@trentyates418]

Dilla is everyone’s favorite producers favorite producer.

[@Segaone1]

I was wondering about how Dre felt about Dilla's sound. Especially cause Bilal worked with Dre as well.

[@PavethaWay]

I love Pete Rocks commentary Pete Rock the "master" had to become the "student" and he himself became a better producers. This is what happens when the old and new generation bridge the GAP!!

[@annawhite3585]

J dilla crosses so many genres ..he has such a profound impact on the masses. Was flawed to see my osteo, a 71 year old dude and huge jazz aficionado express his appreciation and love of J dilla, the millennial's play his tunes too. I truly don't think many can still pull that shit to this day. huge respect to his devotion to music. genius

[@11muzik99]

To all who made this doc - thank you. RIP, Dilla, your music will live on....forever.

J DILLA was the embodiment of hiphop... you can't get more hip-hop than this fella

[@terminalva]

Everytime I see something like this in-depth about Dilla, I get that inspiration to get behind the board and go hard. One of the most enigmatic producers of all time, he spoke with his music. Dude is still speaking to this day, through his music and influence. That's making a mark on the world that can't be replaced. Rock on, J Dilla... RIP

Fantastic Volume 2 is still the greatest collection of beats on one hip hop album of ALL time.

[@RRSmith107]

A humble man completely encapsulated by music. A true master of his art.

[@Becauseimme]

Thank The Most High that I have the ability to hear and feel the music. I never had the honor of meeting the brotha, I sometimes find myself at his grave with the MPC Live making beats. Now my children know who he is and they make beats now and you can hear Dilla’s influence in their sound, as long as we keep the new generation knowing about Dilla, the music and Dilla will never die.

[@WuntaykTimmy1]

Thank the most high indeed. Amen

[@nathanneelyoutlawdiditprod2891]

Nearly 18 years after his transition and his music is still an ongoing soundtrack of my life. "Glamour Sho75" is my alarm clock ringtone. "Waves" is my phone ringtone. "Purple" and the Zikomo remix of Purple are my go to when I just need to get my head right. Welcome to Detroit with Slum Village, Donuts, Ruff Draft, The Shining, his classic work on "Like Water For Chocolate" and so many others stay in heavy rotation. Dilla 4 Life!

[@lozay1of1]

Questlove is so articulate w what J Dilla’s tempo and nuance to beatmaking felt like.. and his eclectic range. Psyched to see the documentary that’s in the works by him and black thought.

[@Bbmin0rBmaj0r]

Dilla was a musical genius. People who don't think hip hop is an art form should listen to his beats and analyze his sampling technique

[@jkovenski]

It was awesome to see how many lives Dilla touched. His music makes him immortal.

[@Mr123tubbs]

I gotta say, Dilla is truly a badass, dude was dying and was still making beats. A fucking badass! Rest in Power Dilla.

I'd do anything for someone to find the original live performance off 20:37 The energy shown through Climax there is something unreal man, Dilla's the greatest. #DillaForeva

[@ChainsTheChef888]

When i first got to know who Dilla was i was impressed by how i could be roaming through youtube and i would find a new beat from dilla never heard before, and to this day i keep finding new stuff from him, that is the definition of Timeless

[@yOGlo]

Ya fr tho .. i heard someone bought a random storage unit , n it was previously owned by JD n had a bunch of blank cassette tapes that JD recorded throw away beats on

Man, I definitely wouldn't mind just watching Dilla do his work in the studio. Just absorb the atmosphere of a musical genius.

the only that sucks about dilla, well its not really about him, but it makes you realize (if you are a musician or aspiring) how much ahead of you he was and how high that ceiling is. It kind of depresses me.

+Tyler Durden "I, painting from myself and to myself, Know what I do, am unmoved by men's blame Or their praise either. Somebody remarks Morello's outline there is wrongly traced, His hue mistaken; what of that? or else, Rightly traced and well ordered; what of that? Speak as they please, what does the mountain care? Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for? All is silver-grey, Placid and perfect with my art: the worse! "

[@5thgen302]

I see what your saying but it really inspires me because that ceiling shows me how much room I can still grow

[@duckbanks2195]

Tyler Durden its something about knowning your timetable is short. He knew because of his illness that he wouldnt live long. And so much like pac, he dedicated his whole life to what he loved which is music. He wanted to leave the world something to remember him by. And so he studied and practiced relentlessly giving all that he had.. You really think about it thats how we should live anyway. Tomorrow isnt promised you lets give today all we got. Can you imagine if more producers had the mindset dilla did....man

[@duckbanks2195]

Ralph Munderson and see this is where i part on that, everyone is exceptional in their own way. Hust a matter of where your heart is. Everyone wants to be exception or rather extrordinary, but there a price that comes with that that unfortunately everyone doesnt want to pay. I agree that is life, but it doesnt have to be reality.

On the real, I stay on Spotify...I always find instrumentals for my rhymes and poems...I was listening to this "J.Dilla", I am from California so I may have been under a rock when he was on this planet. I seen this documentary today and had to leave a comment. I listen to his beats all the time....sometimes I can't even flow because the beat is too soulful....I was truly sad to find out this was more of a memorial than a documentary. As far as I was concerned, he was still here...but to see this video...it is good to know that his music is here. Hopefully I am in a position to give recognition to his music if ever I am in front of an audience.....RIP J.Dilla
