J Dilla interview on Gilles Peterson Worldwide BBC Radio 2001

This an interview-mix recorded when J Dilla went to Giles Peterson Worldwide on BBC Radio 1 in 2001. Jay Dee talks about "Welcome 2 Detroit", The Pharcyde, Slum Village, Common, The Ummah, Janet Jackson, Q-tip, D’Angelo, Soulquarians, ?uestlove, the future of Hip-Hop, Erykah Badu and his influences. This is a real inside to Dilla’s genius.

This whole interview is like an album in itself

Ha I remember going to the Jaylib release at the El Ray specifically to see JD but he didn't show up..Madlib performed all by himself mumbling, high as fuck, forgetting his lyrics LMAO

[@JulianWyllie]

It's a blessing to have a video where Dilla is reacting live to his music.
