[@SilentPhoenix__]

Hearing “Time: The Donut of the Heart” for the first time was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with music. I was in awe of the nostalgic, sad, uplifting, and inspiring feelings that 1 minute and 37 seconds gave me. One of my favorite songs ever

[@MRCSANY]

Yessir. That song embodies what happiness feels like for me.

[@skiwlkr9928]

How J dilla makes a song called “Don’t Cry” that makes me cry

[@sam-rv8tp]

never looked up the lyrics to it but it's such a great sample to fasten onto his ability to take a sample and turn it into something else. saying "you sing it and i'll show you how my voice has made it unbelievable" is incredible given that jdilla then takes his voice after the sample "sings it" and makes it into something unique and wonderful

[@TretheZeldaFan]

I believe this was dedicated to his mother 😮😢

[@Maxoknight]

This album has always had a deep spiritual effect on me. This album feels like reminiscing on all aspects of life the noise, confusion, beauty, love, modesty, gratefulness. Dilla says so much in this album without saying a word. He communicates through a wall of homage of his musical dna. Like a farewell letter from a man who is part machine. Leaving this world with a message of love, togethernes, acceptance and blessing. Thank you Bob for taking your time to listen to this Life is a donut. It just keeps going. U start where u end. U end where u start.

Commenting since I saw no one mention it, I love the siren sample throughout the album. For so long I didn’t even process it as such, but it’s so iconic to the album and one of the reasons that this album’s always a delight to revisit. One of my favourite albums, such an incredible sound.

“The kind of man that you thought I could be” on welcome to the show always hits me so hard I’d also heavily recommend you listen to Dilla’s last beat, really powerful track

[@iankepner1114]

His use of panning, spacing and risers is fucking top notch on this album.

[@fabioescudero6204]

Just one thing, actually j dilla didnt make this album at the hospital , thats a myth (he made it while he was sick, but not at the hospital). There's a great book that talks about his Life and how j dilla changed hip hop and music in general that came out recently. It's called DILLA TIME. I really recommend It, is the greatest music related book i've ever read. (Sorry if my english is not too good)

[@par0250]

I love the fact that the album isnt sombre and dark, which wouldnt feel like Dilla, but instead its a big warm hug of an album for his friends, family and fans. Also I highly recommend the vox video on J Dilla and also the sample for 'welcome to the show' cus its very touching

[@djtrakakadrunkpoet8598]

I aint gon lie this album used to creep me out a bit . It was just so raw

[@sivemdlalose9636]

J Dilla was monumental in his time. If you wanna hear some other stuff he was involved in/ inspired in some ways please do look up the soulquarian movement. Some of those albums are already on your list I’m sure but I would like to push Voodoo, by D’Angelo as the absolute best of the bunch and a landmark RnB album

[@MixM4ster-ing]

That and slum village would be 🔥

[@alexgarcia7104]

You have alot of reading and research do on these tracks to fully have your mind brown. Alot of tracks have so many hidden messages and meaning that Dilla left for people to decode. It’s an awesome journey. Great video sir 🤙🏼

Bye is one of my favourite songs ever. A work of art.

[@antoniocastellon1457]

12 minutes in, when you made that comment about getting emotional over your own idea of what J Dilla might've been thinking, It resonated with me a lot. I often take a similar perspective when I write and am trying to really imagine a character's emotions or mental state during something serious. It shows that you're really trying to understand the artist's perspective, and it shows that you truly have empathy for someone who was in a horrible situation. You have good character and I respect it, hats off to you.

i would puke with happiness if you ever did a Flying Lotus album (You'd probably love Cosmagramma the most first since it has a lot of Thundercat in it) but he's cray inspired by Dilla and all of his stuff is great (Especially his EP Duality where he's his alter ego Captain Murphy)!!!

There’s a great video breaking down the sample of Workinonit, it’s brilliant kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfCnnuGZbSarsk Also Dilla produced a lot for Erykah Badu and was great friends with her and D’Angelo. They, among the Roots and more, were like a collective. I believe they were all part of the collective Soulquarians. The track “One For Ghost” was used as the production for a track on Ghostface Killah’s album Fishscale the same year, they were also friends. I believe Ghostface’s song came out after but it was called Whip You With A Strap. Great song When you get to Erykah Badu’s Dilla dedicated song “The Healer” it’ll be one of your favorite songs yet i predict. “It’s bigger than religion, hip hop. It’s bigger than the government. This one is for Dilla hip hop”.

[@johnnyerdoel]

Recommendation for more insights: Vox's video "How J Dilla humanized his MPC3000" - it features a breakdown of "Don't Cry", which I assume you will appreciate even more after watching said breakdown. Also I would strongly recommend the book "Dilla Time" by Dan Charnas. Just finally gotten around to reading the final pages earlier today, strange coincidence that you would release this video just now ... Looking forward to seeing more Dilla-related content!

You should check out Nujabes. Another legendary producer who changed the game, died too early and was influenced by Dilla, he was like his hero. And coincidentally they were born on the same day, not just the same day like on different years, but the exact same day on the exact same year. His album Modal Soul is a classic, he basically pioneered the “lo-fi chill hop” type beats that you see plague KZbin now in “lo-fi beats to study to compilations” but his stuff was layered and thought out.

[@bobthepoppop]

This was very challenging to edit. I try to cut about 40-50% of the music to prevent from getting blocked. But I did my best to make Dilla proud. Also, I did not put timestamps from track to track since the whole album is an experience from beginning to end. I assume someone will put stamps in the comment somewhere. Give those wonderful people a thumbs up for me 👍

[@IAMGIFTEDASF]

[@Lynbil]

48:40 Here's something you probably didn't know about 'Hi.' The dialogue sampled in the beat is intended to reflect a story Dilla's mother told him. Apparently, Dilla was out of it, in a dazed state, and seemed to be talking to hallucinatory figures. When his mother asked him who it was, Dilla said it was Wu Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard, who had died a couple of years before. ODB advised him not to take the "red bus", which would send him to Hell. Instead, ODB said to wait until the "white bus" came.

[@TommyTom21]

The track Hi has an interesting story. During an interview, Dilla’s mother recalled a night where J Dilla was in a delirious state and he told her he saw Ol Dirty Bastard from the wu-tang clan. ODB would tell him something along the lines of “When you see the red bus, don’t take it, take the white bus instead.” So it’s theorized that Hi is based off of this experience because the lines “Standing at the bus stop and I hear a voice behind me” “I hadn’t heard that voice in such a long time”

[@bobthepoppop]

bob, i just want you to know that you should never feel bad for getting emotional over your perceived meaning. I think thats totally ok, considering this album is such a trip of a emotions, i think it's totally valid to feel however you feel about him, because the context does add a lot of emotional weight to why he choose the samples he did and what message he wanted to get across through each one. I think it's really cool how Dilla was able to interpret the art he was listening to while in the hospital, and flip them in a way so that the listeners of Donuts could feel his interpretations of those things (by flipping them), which reflected his final days and his feelings about his last moments on earth. It was his craft he had mastered, and it's very powerful that he was able to create a final musical message out of it to leave the world with. So I think it's perfectly valid to get emotional about this album, because it really is all of his final emotions poured into it, in the way he knew how to express them... which was through his music. < 3

[@nerdude360]

also never feel bad for interpreting!!! thats LITERALLY the whole entire point of art!!!!

[@bobthepoppop]

I appreciate it. I don't mind getting emotional over music. I guess I just want people to know that the ideas floating around in my head are just that - ideas - and I don't want viewers confusing my own experience to what may or may not be intentional within an album.

[@Remedy462]

If someone's interpretation comes form appreciation and being genuine, there is no bad interpretation. Real artists, even if they are strict in their structure and morals, do love interpretations, because they themselves were inspired by other artists and, in turn, interpreted them themselves. It's a wholesome feedback loop of the love of self expression and love.

One of the beautiful aspects of Dilla’s production, is that he didn’t quantize it. So it feels much more real and alive. It has imperfections in timing, just slight, basically imperceptible, but there nonetheless. Makes it more like a band playing.

[@bobthepoppop]

Those timing imperfections are very important imo, makes it all sound human

[@jimmywilson4330]

Got heavy into this album around the same time someone from my past was killed and the music and the samples just made that easier. It’s like he may have wanted it to be not only healing for his own death but universally.

Also I forgot to mention in my other comment that donuts isn’t just a silly title. It refers to both the shape of the vinyl record he splices up, and symbolises the concept of a “cycle”. The cycle probably refers not only to the “loops” he uses in his production, but also the albums itself is a “donut” or a infinite loop as it begins with an “outro” and ends with “welcome to the show.” To me this is a positive message about how his end is just a biggining and how his influence and impact live on every time some one spins his record. Sorry I’m rambling

If you enjoyed the instrumental part of this album, some other major instrumental hip hop albums that get lots of recognition in the community are Entroducing..... by DJ Shadow and Modal Soul by Nujabes. The context of those albums aren't as impactful as Donuts is (and the context of this album does affect the listening experience a lot), but from an production/sampling perspective they are just as good. Also, watch Tracklib's sample breakdown for Don't Cry.

Been looking forward to this one and I'm really glad you enjoyed. One of my favorite details (among MANY) in this album is in the song "Welcome to the show". The sample he uses that goes "The kind of man that you thought I'd be", is from a song titled "When I Die". The full original line is "When I die, I hope I’ll be, the kind of man that you thought I could be". Really adds another layer to an already deep sample choice for the last song on the album. If it hasn't already been suggested I HIGHLY recommend listening to "Champion Sound", which is collaboration between J-Dilla and Madlib, as I'm sure you'd imagine it has some of the most amazing production of all time, and you get to hear both of them rap which is really cool. Any way's, thanks for reading if you got this far and thanks for the videos
