Jay Dee n Que D- Rock Box

[@bluemonkjd]

When Pete Rock uses a sample, it tends to have reached its final, most perfect form. But Dilla always wanted to be Pete Rock growing up, and in his short life, he damn well may have outdone his hero.

[@hipmotion]

Pete Rock agrees.

[@h2junkey]

I'm a Dilla fan as well but this production-wise is not even in PR's Fakin Jax's league.

[@Marcos_1983]

Pete said in an interview that Dilla best him. To me both are great I like them more than premo, pete and Dilla are more soulful oriented my taste. Premo is more rap oriented style of beats

[@snappy_.]

@@Marcos_1983 Quasimoto got so much soul ******* always be like yo

[@MidlandKruiskade]

@@h2junkey Lol you a whole clown for that statement. This flip is a lot more complex and hard hitting as classic as Fakin Jax is. Dilla flipped the fuck out of the OG.

[@djholmz761]

today's music just doesn't swing like this, so sad.Thank you Jay Dee.

[@neighborhoodturnt]

Yea he would often turn off quantization when programming his drums which gave them a real offbeat feel like a real person playing the drums it’s really amazing

[@4hunnid5thecentralspot10]

The beginning of this song tho!!!!!!!! How DILLA? HOW? MAN I WISH MY FOLKS WAS HERE!!!!!!! MY MUSICAL ANCESTOR!!!!!!! THIS SHIT SURELY DOES "ROCK, ROCK!!!!! 313 LOVE FROM THE 405

[@FaridFarid-si9yi]

The sample in the beginning was used for " the rap world " by Pete Rock

[@marqfew]

This joint still bangs!

[@KarlosSanatana]

Thank you again brother/sister for giving me the chance to listen such beautiful, real music. Rest In Beats Dilla!

[@niceguyvillain]

The sample in the beginning is taken from: John Dankworth & His Orchestra - Theme From Look Stranger

[@gammakrush905]

Seems people are afraid to credit it on WhoSampled. I guess they don't want to look like snitches.

[@everett7903]

How did Dilla dig this up. Pure Genius.

[@kamaalabstract]

Bro... THANK YOU

[@KarlozWatson]

Woooo, that was the reason I was drawn into this song!

[@bigstacks1463]

Lovely use of the "Cause I Need It" by Dorothy Ashby from her "Dorothy's Harp" LP.

[@dougmoultrie3070]

[@realhiphoplova]

1 rock box 2 fakin jax 3 ashby road

[@h2junkey]

Nah...

[@madimakes]

DILLA DAY

[@closer2god92]

Wow

[@johnallison6474]

Thats how you use a sample!!!! Who and where is the next Dilla?

[@allthewoointheworld]

Madlib and Karriem are the closest... can't nobody tell me otherwise

[@Marcos_1983]

​​@@allthewoointheworldnot even close, madlib ia talented but he doesnt make this soulful mellow sound, J dilla work was the same as Pete Rock, so if you this guy is after more dilla like sounds, thats Pete Rock.

[@javipanca]
