[@kofianonym]

it's not where the samples come from that matters but what you do with them. J Dilla made sampling and cutting beats into an artform, nobody can beat him on that. I'm a jazz guitarist but my playing is really influenced by this guy. i love this track!

[@ibratimite4735]

Greatest hip hop producer ever !

[@gonthebeat88]

I miss this type of music man. One of the dopest sample flips out there! Dilla was a beast.

[@cavaleer]

I swear Dilla did 90% of my fav tracks, haha. Never knew his name until the mid 2000s...smh. Genius..........

[@djbloodshot]

Same all the liner notes would say j. yauncey and I started wondering who he was. then funk master flex vol 3 dropped and I knew what was up

cavaleer I heard "Get dis Money" on office space movie, then bought that album...then I learned he was the man behind tribe albums, DE LA albums, common etc. Then I realized I was in love with his production more than the groups he laid beats for

[@metaversal]

i don't understand how someone could hear this and think 'naaah'. this instrumental is fire. J Dilla was a composer.

[@uetezd2271]

planet lucid straight up my friend said there’s no flow too it. He ain’t my friend no more 😂

[@marcc5353]

U do realise this is a sample of "giant steps" by wes montgomery right? Id describe this as an interpolation. He took 4 bars of a guitar solo that goes for 100s of bars

[@emilyknight9627]

its a sample of giant steps by john coltrane, in a recording played by joe pass, where u findin wes from

This might just be the greatest hiphop beat of all time! Damn!

[@christopherwilliams5800]

J Dilla is godlike with the drums and samples rest in peace dude.

[@brandonreed3670]

Man, this would’ve been a great beat with just the Joe Pass guitar sample and the drum loop, but Dilla added so many other samples throughout like the UFO sample and the “Yeah” that it really elevates this one to perfection. His ear for blending samples was amazing

[@naj_z]

Don't forget the occasional wissle, dude probably had perfect pitch, because that shit sound perfect 😅

If I'm sure this is Joe pass, giant steps!!!! On his solo guitar album called virtuoso 2. He's amazing. Love this music and love the feeling of hearing a song that you like being sampled in another song that you like. Amazing.

there is a sample from miles davis too! the track is named fantasy and its awesome too, i discovered this beat in comments in the joe pass video ^^ amazing track

Most underrated hip hop instrumental

[@edgedcanshufl]

i FUCKING love that bump

[@greyklopstock7155]

I'm losing my mind at all the little things. The fact that he kept the air in the hi hats so that they'd give the vinyl noise, yet he somehow chopped the kick and SEVERAL snares cleanly enough from that drum break AND THEN SEQUENCED IT OPEN ENOUGH that it still sounds like it was played live. The fact that that is HIS BASSLINE. The vocal sample chops. The fact that he HEARD THIS from the source material. THIS. My guy heard those chords in that Joe pass rendition of giant steps and said, "nah, fam. Make it FASTER. Put some space age synth sound effect over it. Play a funky bass line that DOESN'T hit on the one." I can't even get past the drum sequencing. Like, by my count, there's AT LEAST three different snare chops if we're counting the ghost notes. His ability to layer other samples and where it still sounds like it came from the break, but "dillafied." And the craziest part? Dilla's discography has TONS of beats like this, where the deeper you go into them, the more you see just how insane the amount of work Jay dee put into these joints is. Needless to say, Dilla was a frickin GOD on that there MPC. My dude is like Steph friggin curry. Everyone else is shooting turnaround fades from the mid post, and Dilla comes in and says, "fuck it, I'm pulling up from 30, SWISHING IT, and I'm gonna defy physics so often that EVERYONE is gonna have to learn to do what I do." AND WE ALL DID. Dilla is a friggin legend. Forever

[@marselmusic]

dang it's literaly almost a year since I first heard this... I remember back in late january or early february my brother was looking up some video of robert glasper and some how ended up on here. I remember how anxious I was when I heard this... and through out the months, march, april, may... all the way to august.. (mostly in march to may) I'd always remember to take my ear phones (once headphones) to teh library, then would chuck this beat on while I was drawing or doing something like that... and ofcourse the drawings weren't great but Iremember myself improving bit by bit everytime I did it, getting mentored and helped out by a dude called Fleja. I'd play a bunch of j dilla beats and then I started listening to mos def beats too.. Respirations... but any way I jsut realised how nostalgic all that feels, despite it being 11 months since... It was actually because of this song and Life, I started getting into this... I honestly felt like a hobo in the sense of my taste because THis is one of my favourites.. and I honestly can't remember life b4 I even heard this.. 1:57:01 pmm 7th January 2019
