Part 1: Work Ethic Starts In The Basement / What To Listen For in A Dilla Beat / J.Dilla's Range As A Producer. The King of Reinvention
This piece was created for his fans as James "J.Dilla" Yancey a way to reflect on the impact and legacy of our musical icon, and reinforce the understanding of why we hold him in such high regard. This stands as a tribute for J.Dilla, and a gift to fans that already understood his presence in music at the time he passed away in February 2006... and those who continue to seek material about him to rejuvenate their support. I trust that this "J.Dilla: Still Shining" remembrance piece will have you gain greater insight, and a richer appreciation of this musical icon. As fans of music, we suffered the loss of a great asset... but J.Dilla continues to shine. - B.Kyle

Hell yea. From the time I discovered Dilla in 6th grade - unfortunately only due to his passing in February of that year, through high school having his sh*t on repeat in the car on rides with friends at basically all times, to college years where me and a few friends would pick apart his beats and arrange them with a full band + horns in the university recording studio that we would get time in for free in exchange to playing different parts or working on whatever for other friend’s projects who were recording majors…shit I was just listening to Dilla this morning! And mad people love his music who half the time don’t even know he made the beat! RIP Dilla man…idk if I would even have the love that I do for music if I never came across his catalog.
the strength of Dilla's Mom gives me real hope
Best producer of all time. Rest in Beats

Very well said and 👁 concur 💯
My favorite producer ever, one of the biggest reasons as to why I want to make beats. Art is a passion of mine and I'm going to college to be a graphic designer, but if I feel I don't want to do that down the road, I would definitely want to start creating more beats, and Dilla is a big aspiration as to why I would do that! No one can replicate his work, but his beautiful beats are timeless. R.I.P. James Yancey, you were gone too soon.

4 years later.. how did things turn out? Well I hope.
9:46 "He spawned some crazy shit man, for real" Haha, straight on point!
It will last many many lifetimes, my words can barley begin to express what this man has left behind for us all, he unlocked me spiritually through his sound and freedom! Dilla is my religion Dilla forever!!!!
Dilla was and still is the greatest producer ever lived. He'll live forever. J Dilla/Jay Dee was a mastermind of building the best beats ever! Great Genius and Innovator. A good composer of beats!
You know why no one can top Dilla? Cause he was himself. You wanna be like Dilla? Be yourself!
the sun shines, the sky is blue, the grass grows, and J Dilla made beats..
mans was an innovator. fearless; wasnt scared to put his heart out.
Along with Marvin Gaye, and Jammerson on bass....Dilla along with Funk brothers of Motown...and Hamilton Bohannon....these are all my inspirations...and all I can say is ...you gotta do YOU!
Ma Dukes is the coolest woman ever. Thank you, Miss Yancey, for blessing us with a genius...
Dilla... Man what can I say except THANK YOU. I've Loved your music since 94' when I was in high school. You influenced me... Recently in a BIG studio session, I was compared to you. I couldn't even contain my feelings on the drive home... You are and forever will be the greatest...
J Dilla the personification of the phrase "it's not the machine it's the man"
I really hope his mother/estate is being "taken care of" by those who have become mega artists because of J Dilla :-)
R.I.P. Dilla best producer of all time
Wow, to hear Pete Rock talk about him like that gave me chills...
that opening beat is unreal. its much too much.
I swear Dwele & Dilla can pass 4 blood related brothers.......R.i.p Dilla dawg
This is real inspiration, Dilla is really one of my favorites and I am so sad he didn’t get a chance to continue to live life and continue his musical evolution
thanks for the upload, really enjoyed it, Dilla all day everyday! I stays reppin the best, Peace.
Tear Tear,I love this dude ! Dilla lives still !!!!
That first beat is cray
His work will always be around
Had to revisit this today. Happy birthday Dilla
I love watching this when i'm in a down place. RIP Dilla i loveee youuuuuuuuuu
Trapped in a dungeon of plastic and machine, bobbin' and bouncing, livin' and lovin'... That's how I wanna be. God Bless You J Dilla ♥. The world lost a musical genius.
DILLA I LOVE YOU. You have made me love hip hop so much more and you are my biggest inspiration. Rest in beats. James Yancey, The greatest to ever do it
B.Kyle, Thank you for this! Checked the full version elsewhere online and it was a well spent 39 minutes and change. Excellently done! For the past year plus I've been thinking that something like this needs to be made to help pay tribute to one of the greatest musical geniuses of our time, J Dilla. This has helped satisfy my need to digest as much Dilla-related content as possible. I appreciate that this is given away for free as I would have gladly paid money for it. Turn It Up! RIP Dilla
How come nobody knows J Dilla? I mean when I ask in general here in Sweden, not many outside or even inside Hip Hop music do know this cat. He deserves more listeners, because what he put together no one has heard before or after. But I ain't blaming anybody, I bet there's tons of music I haven't even heard of lol

Maybe that's a good thing, man. You can be the one to spread the word and introduce people to the best music they've never heard of.

Mom's speech at the beginning was on point and beautiful
tHIS IS WHY i still LOVE hip hop MUSIC
What people have to understand it was a Natural Gift. Everybody in this world is great at something J Dilla was lucky to discovers his at the right time. Making a Hit! in 20mins is Incredible. R.I.P to the Greatest on the Beats. J DILLA!
I speak from mexico to these places you hear their music at full volume, is a great pioneer in the scene will always be in our minds.
THE GREATEST Of ALL TIMES!! DILLA IS THE BIGGEST INSPIRATION WHEN I LISTEN TO MUSIC & WHEN I PERFORM HIP HOP DANCE AT EVENTS OR TEACH MY CLASSES.

my number one inspiration
the drumbeat and extra instrumentaation that plays over "think twice" at around 7:39 is soooo sweet.
J DILLA CHANGED MY LIFE.
my inspiration erday!!!
Legend.
best person ever in hip hop
I think him and Black Milk have some great beats. BMs Purple Tape or whatever from Purple Rain's soundtrack was sick as fuck. I've only discovered Apollo Brown through that Dice Game joint with Guilty Simpson
R.I.Power, Peace, and Beats my soul brotha!
Respect !!!
That snare!
Oh wow, his mothers words were amazing
10:30 the beat from "Lookin' At the Front Door" is probably the best sample in all hip hop history.
DILLA I LOVE YOU
happy birthday
J Dilla may have changed peoples lives, even the Hip Hop game, but He was at a younger time, and those who wernt deeply into the Jazzy Hip Hop type music like he made, wouldn't know who he is. Its a shame though, Dilla will forever be a God RIP Dilla
