J dilla crosses so many genres ..he has such a profound impact on the masses.

I truly don't think many can still pull that shit to this day. huge respect to his devotion to music. genius

Everytime I see something like this in-depth about Dilla, I get that inspiration to get behind the board and go hard. One of the most enigmatic producers of all time, he spoke with his music. Dude is still speaking to this day, through his music and influence. That's making a mark on the world that can't be replaced. Rock on, J Dilla... RIP

A humble man completely encapsulated by music. A true master of his art.

J DILLA was the embodiment of hiphop... you can't get more hip-hop than this fella

Questlove is so articulate w what J Dilla’s tempo and nuance to beatmaking felt like.. and his eclectic range. Psyched to see the documentary that’s in the works by him and black thought.

Beautiful documentary. I’m watching this in 2018. When I get kids, they will grow up knowing who JDilla is. R.I.P James Dewitt Yancey 🙏🏽

It was awesome to see how many lives Dilla touched. His music makes him immortal.

Thank The Most High that I have the ability to hear and feel the music. I never had the honor of meeting the brotha, I sometimes find myself at his grave with the MPC Live making beats. Now my children know who he is and they make beats now and you can hear Dilla’s influence in their sound, as long as we keep the new generation knowing about Dilla, the music and Dilla will never die.

Nearly 18 years after his transition and his music is still an ongoing soundtrack of my life. "Glamour Sho75" is my alarm clock ringtone. "Waves" is my phone ringtone. "Purple" and the Zikomo remix of Purple are my go to when I just need to get my head right. Welcome to Detroit with Slum Village, Donuts, Ruff Draft, The Shining, his classic work on "Like Water For Chocolate" and so many others stay in heavy rotation. Dilla 4 Life!

When Houseshoes says: "What can you do in 15 minutes? Huh? Find a fuckin sample? Beat is done, and it's the best shit, you've ever heard in your life." So strong and truly sentence.. And it realy proves my point, that J Dilla was genius of his era. R.I.P. J Dilla. You're still here with us, cause of your music.

I gotta say, Dilla is truly a badass, dude was dying and was still making beats. A fucking badass! Rest in Power Dilla.

Everything that's been said here, i felt every bit of it. i discovered J Dilla's music about a year ago and man, above every other artist, musician, producer or whatever. J has something special that popped out at me like, in my face but soo subtle. its like nothing can top it for me.. J is by far. the best producer i have ever come across, and probably ever will. SO much soul in the beats.. dude knew his destiny.

To this date " Stakes is high " is one MY top 20 DOPEST beats of all time 🔥🙏🏾 ( Vibeee ,Vibrations)

On the real, I stay on Spotify...I always find instrumentals for my rhymes and poems...I was listening to this "J.Dilla", I am from California so I may have been under a rock when he was on this planet. I seen this documentary today and had to leave a comment. I listen to his beats all the time....sometimes I can't even flow because the beat is too soulful....I was truly sad to find out this was more of a memorial than a documentary. As far as I was concerned, he was still here...but to see this video...it is good to know that his music is here. Hopefully I am in a position to give recognition to his music if ever I am in front of an audience.....RIP J.Dilla

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this. It is heart warming and highly appreciated. Love detroit fam and the Yancey fam. RIP Dilla

'I'm not mourning, I'm rejoicing'. His musical legacy gets bigger the further away we are from his passing. And we continue to rejoice.
