Sample Breakdown: J Dilla - Purple

One of the most difficult breakdowns I've ever done. This one took a lot of ear development to pull off! The mix on this beat is next level.
Incredible samples from Jamiroquai and George Duke!

    This one was a looong time coming! Crazy mix, I got the levels good enough, but the mixing could use some work, and I will try to get that bass sound and make a template for the Patreon! Overall very glad with my progress towards Dilla month, and the documentary is almost done, 10000% posting it mid way through February! Check the free Patreon for weekly updates !

    There’s more to what we know them as Dilla beats! It’s a sound on its own, a unique atmosphere that cannot be recreated and then it’s the mind boggling idea that formed this together. This breakdown literally represents how deep Dilla’s sound really was. Last but not least, he made this in 94 (or close to that time!) 😮

    You are entitled to your opinion, but I gotta say... this is not simple. The mix is insane, layering a lot of different elements. And the way he used the chops was super creative. I think this is one of those that looks simple when presented the way I did, but to break it down it was a nightmare, it took forever to understand what he did with this chop patter

    experience alone doesn't make a good beat maker. there are plenty of producers who have been making beats for years according to the same pattern and don't evolve because they lack the ability to think outside the box. nevertheless, they are among the experienced ones. dilla was very creative in terms of his workflow, how he chooses samples, chops them, arranges them, layers them and records them. he saw and heard things that many experienced producers never get to do because they lack dilla’s extraordinary creative and musical thinking to do so. and that's exactly what sets dilla apart from most producers, even many very experienced ones, and makes him so brilliant.

    I think that is a big thing that happens with these kind of breakdowns. When people display things in a way they can understand they think it's simple but if they didn't have a base to recreate this beat they would be lost asf for a long time
