HONESTLY, THANKS....LOL YANCEY MEDIA GROUP / VINTAGE VIBEZ MUSIC GROUP.... may use this version...

[@tennisgenius]

Holy shit it would be the absolute honor of my life. In fact I've actually become a mix engineer out of my passion for this sort of thing and would love to potentially touch up what I've done. Is there a way I can reach you and send you files?

[@Eddsucks]

love

[@noaharkadedelgado]

how did it go b???@@tennisgenius

[@thejamnasium6447]

this stuff is amazing. Dilla was an artist of the highest order. he elevated the beat tape to levels never before seen and likely will never be seen again. just can't fathom someone coming along who can do it better than he did. RIP

[@tennisgenius]

Dilla truly was a once in a lifetime talent. I'm with you. I don't think anyone before or after him has even come close to his level of genius.

[@chrishuerta1046]

This isn't just music it's a work of art! Rip to the king of beats

[@tennisgenius]

Dilla is king

[@kevina5337]

I never knew Dilla made Breathe n Stop I always thought that was a Q-Tip original... man this guy what a legend

[@tennisgenius]

Dilla produced the whole album with the exception of one song IIRC

[@71dhwand]

Yeah, a few dude took credit for Dilla's production.

[@skibg774]

Yeah. I think that was the let's ride album

[@derrylbrooks6541]

the bootleg titles are just as classic

[@calebscalzo]

It has become my life's challenge to figure out the mechanics of J Dilla's basslines and how he got them to rock so fucking hard

​@@kaxerrrThat he can't figure it out 😊.

[@jtmetta7636]

@@gabeeskridge8291watch j filt here on KZbin, he breaks down dilla’s techniques very well and it’s helped me as a producer. For me tho, i simply just listen to every aspect of his music which gives me a better understanding, all in all dilla still is the man to this day

[@PiPs__8]

Samples and playing actual instruments

​@@PiPs__8: That is correct 💯

[@DJ279V]

Just realized #29 "Stinging" is the Gap Band's intro to "Yearning For Your Love" chopped and flipped....serious Genius forever!!

[@ETwOneE21]

This first beat had my jaw drop the way he brought in all the sample. Man was/is a Genius

[@valerioveneri1301]

After having listened to thousands Dilla’s, I am pretty sure this tape is the TOP one

[@gabeeskridge8291]

That's a bold statement there guy , What Up Doe Sessions stil NUMBER 1 , this close second.

[@geraldboles7816]

Blessings . Thank you for the Dilla Mix. All his music is FLY. I ain't even no rapper But I flow easy with these beats at any time.. great for party listen and talk to the ladies. Yep hip hop and we don't Stop. One love Afro G64 lamiert Park Village LA Crenshaw 👼🌟❤️🔥

[@cravenroad7594]

Woow! I love the way you treated the middle and high frequencies! So gritty, and there’s so much hiss, and that’s one thing that, personal, i’ve AALWAYS loved in every dilla’s beattape!! Great job!! 😍♥️

[@tennisgenius]

Thanks so much! I've always loved this era of Dilla's music. The way he mixed/mastered his beats with the gritty low end and blaring high end was revolutionary, so when I couldn't find a decent version of this beat tape I tried to recreate it as best I could. Glad you like it.

[@cravenroad7594]

Ian Haskell i totally agree with everything you said! There was a period in which dilla made incredible beats batches and tapes, and this that you’ve remastered is one of that! Same thing the albums and all that unreleased stuff with Slum Village.. Damn, that stuff is unbelievable. Another level. Kinda extraterrestrial. Just FAN-TAS-TIC! So, what more can i say.. thanks again for this wonderful rework, Ian.. as you can see, i really appreciated! ♥️

[@alaashallal]

Thank you for the upload.

My man left us too soon!!!!!!!

[@71dhwand]

You can tell Dilla looked up to Pete Rock !!!! The greats recognizes the greats !!!

[@tennisgenius]

HELL yeah. PR was a huge inspiration to Dilla. Dilla used to spend hours and hours studying PR's craft and trying to emulate it himself. That's what always amazes me about Dilla, you could ask him to emulate ANY producer and he could do it flawlessly. The man was a machine. R.I.P!!

[@calebkendrick5286]

Pete rock produced one of j dillas after death albums

[@phillipwattsjr.4714]

@@calebkendrick5286 The JAY STAY PAID album, I think Pete simply compiled and mixed it.

Vanity & Slide gives me such Pete Rock vibes, one of my favorites. The way the sample on top has a different swing sounds so damn good, flows so well

[@gabeeskridge8291]

It's up there at the top. He has so many incredible tapes , each different.

[@Drfresh1402]

I thought I heard all of Dilla. Guess I was wrong. These beats are incredible.

[@gabeeskridge8291]

It's nearly impossible to hear it all. There are thousands in storage, other artists have dozens more. He was remarkable in his dedication to the art.

[@timwakefield]

The sample flip on Saginaw is pretty sick too -- it samples the song 'Fantasy' by the group Aquarian Dream, right at the very beginning.

[@psychopompous3207]

Damn, is he from Mi? Im from Saginaw, Flint, and Detroit. Born in the 'Nasty though.

[@jordanhenderson3307]

@@psychopompous3207 yea he was from Conant Gardens

[@goobert2469]

Stevie was born in saginaw! Maybe the vibe from the track he sampled reminded him of Stevie and he wanted to reference him in a discreet way

[@derrylbrooks6541]

Its funny the trademarks of a Dilla beat tape, are perfect white noise hiss, snapping snare and kick, and a soulful ass loop that he flip and filtered, and forget that iconic punch he gives drums, I swear its like drugs lol.

[@tennisgenius]

No idea how he did it man. I'm a student of the MPC and tape deck combo myself and I still struggle tryna get that sound. The man was a wizard on the boards. R.I.P to the king!!

Great work! Is there a download link?

[@thatunit995]

This tape is almost better than donuts and im being dead fuckin ass

[@tennisgenius]

I think the history and story behind Donuts puts it above TNS just due to its context within Dilla's discography but I actually agree for the most part. This is some of his best work outside all of the stuff he did with SV and Donuts as a whole. Definitely one of my fav "unreleased" projects of his.

[@meowraiu2]

hey man, since you were the one who remastered this could you put up a download?

[@timothyscranton5577]

nicely done

[@NormSpupsEntertainment]

Beautiful job, can't decide whether I love this or What Up Doe Sessions more?

[@tennisgenius]

Thanks! This definitely has a more mature feel but the What Up Doe Sessions tape definitely had a more out there feel. The New Slave is your basic "classic late 90s Dilla shit" type of thing. Much more straight forward imo.

[@NormSpupsEntertainment]

Ian Haskell yeah I'd agree there, the way Dilla chopped rhodes and guitar samples on this blows my mind though (sexy ways). Think my favorite on this album is On The Drums, love how he tricks your ears with where the drum sample starts.

to be honest, i'm not sure. i've heard some say they're legit and others that are convinced they're fan-made. at this point i suppose it doesn't matter as people just know the songs by the names they have now.

[@beamo94]

most of this is spread out on other works alot of witch is the famous ma dukes collection and the dilla delights vol 1-2

[@tennisgenius]

That's true. I'm not sure what your point is though.

[@UCiWrMgES50tlUhV3l6NqjNA]

I guess just putting it out there for people to know U can get them in better quality? although this might be remastered its not original quality...so its lower...

[@tennisgenius]

@@UCiWrMgES50tlUhV3l6NqjNA The original quality was garbage though. It wasn't just a remaster because I personally thought the mix was bad, the original tape was ripped at like -40 LUFS and had almost no dynamic range. All the versions online that I found were mostly just people turning the gain waaaaay up. If the digital information isn't there, you're just making it worse by trying to brute force it really quickly. Not only that but a lot of the transitions between songs were awful, the beginning and ends of them must have gotten garbled somehow in the bouncing/rendering process during digitization so I cleaned those up. Without that the tape sounds very choppy and stutter-y between songs. I understand that putting your own "spin" on a Dilla tape is like trying to edit one of Shakespeare's works but trust me when I say that Dilla is my biggest influence and one of my idols... I tried my best to master the way I know he would have done it.

[@kwamalascience]

@@tennisgenius why would he print his tapes at -40Lufs tho? I don't get it
