Nujabes and Shing02 were basically the Asian version of MF DOOM and Madlib duo.

this is what’s so great about Nujabes. He can put together a track like Aruarian Dance where he barley touches an extensive loop, and then make a song like “luv. sic pt. 1” and REALLY highlights his talent and chopping skills. Amazing. RIP.

Nujabes music makes me cry

Tracklib has the most elegant medium for displaying samples

Nujabes isn't dead, just press play.

I remember shuffling a nujabes playlist when I was laying in bed. I ended up falling asleep and when I woke up, the instrumental of luv sic pt2 was playing. I didn't know the song at that time but it captured me because it made me think of really deep stuff. I ended up leaving it on loop for like 2 hours while staring out my window in the middle of the night. One of my favorite nujabes memories ever.

This is why Nujabes production will never fade away. REST IN BEATS.

The way he flipped pt.2 is very genius.

Discover that Nujabes chopped a part of a song by brazilian artists in "Luv(sic) pt. 2" moved me a lot (I'm brazilian), this shows how he especially had such a sensibility in creating music. See through the editing of the video that he used parts of the same drum base was amazing too. I get emotional always when I play his songs. Thank you Tracklib. RIP Nujabes.

Some guy really said Shing02 ruins all the songs in the luv sic series. I’m in disbelief and the disrespect is crazy.

People might say "Ah he just sampling other's people music. That's not real artist"

Cause the beat plus the melody

I was at an opening event of a bar in Kyoto back in 2018. As a DJ and a producer myself, I was introduced to this one DJ and we were talking about Japanese music (since I was from South Korea) and then I think I started talking about sampling and Nujabes, and the DJ goes, "Oh him? Yeah great dude. I used to DJ with him a lot. Chill & reserved dude tho. Not so much fun to drink with ya know."

Oh, I hope there's a Sample Breakdown for parts 4-6.

Love to see Brazilian songs had an influence on his music.

Thank you for this!! Luv(sic) part 2 gets me every time 😭

NUJABEES should be in the same conversation as DILLA

Beautiful, the best sample breakdown ever. It’s fascinating how a Japanese guy used Brazilian records at that time. There was no internet, no google, and yet he managed to do all that.

This is the greatest gift this channel has given
