Dilla Lives On (Instrumental Tribute To Jay Dee)
Posted by deejaymikerizzy on February 23rd, 2009
Thanks to modern technology, nowadays i’m able to record every live set that I perform. And because of this i’m able to give to you a live Jay Dee instrumental set. I actually planned to do a Dilla set this particular night but didn’t plan out the songs. So this mix was performed 100% live and unrehearsed so excuse all the hiccups and blemishes. I saw an interview with House Shoes one time and he said that ” Dilla can make a Dre beat better than Dre, a Primo beat better than Premier, and out rock Pete Rock. But nobody can make a Dilla beat like Dilla.” While there’s a bunch of newer producers that make music in the same vein like Black Milk, 9th Wonder, Kayne, Just Blaze etc. To me Dilla still stands head and shoulders above the rest. Everybody knew he had the best drums, ill dancing basslines, and just so much soul. The soul is what I think todays music lacks and that’s something that you really can’t get from keyboards and auto tune boxes. Hip Hop was built from records and sampling and Dilla was a prime example why his music and all real hip hop continues to be rediscovered. While all the trendy music you hear nowadays quickly comes and goes. If you can name all these beats i’ll buy you a 20 piece McNugget box. Enjoy.

“Alright” it’s off of one of his Beat CD’s from 2005. I think the Visionaries used that beat too.
