This chop is the number 1 reason I put J Dilla above DJ Premier, Pete rock, and Kanye as far as pure hip hop production. Dilla could make a beat that sounded like any of those producers. But if you ask each of those same producers if they could duplicate a Dilla beat the answer is a resounding NO. Dilla was in another universe.
I respect this take always, but I will say, Dilla was a little more one dimensional even tho he was an absolute master when it came to sample chopping and 'boom bap' drums...but realistically you think he could have made stuff that sounded like sounds from 808's or MBDTF? Not to shit on him at all he's an absolute GOAT, but he never made anything like that in terms of overall sonics
@@jwizdum2103 MBDTF has Dilla all over it sonically in my opinion. Also its not really fair to compare Dilla to Kanye. Kanye has a team of people engineering the sound he wants, especially for 808s and MBDTF where Mike Dean, No I.D., Bhasker had a big part on those beats.
I can see how it happened... after finishing off mixing this beat, he just leaned back on his chair, stared at the reflection of the city on his window at night, while noddin his head to the rythm of the snare exactly after the intro. No expression. He found greatness in Motown music once again and expresses it his own way. No one else is there to listen like always. Another day of greatness for the pioneer, the best of all time.
Al Dali that’s what people said dilla was, lol a straight hood nigga who liked ass, titties and fly clothes they said he wasn’t like the usual backpack producers lol
As happy as I am to know this video finally reached one million, It still doesn't serve justice for what this man has accomplished in the music industry. Rest easy, Dilla and Baatin. You'll always be remembered.
Favorite beat of all time. I’ve tried to write a song over this many times but none of my bars are good enough yet for this masterpiece. Maybe one day... rip Jay.
this beat, straight up brings me to tears. I dont understand how dilla did it. this beat just kills me. the things a human can do with their mind and a simple beat box... this beat is beyond words. it touched me to an emotional level. damn it, i couldnt imagine what other magical tracks would be out today if he were still with us. ahead of his time. Rest in peace to James Dewitt Yancey.
Not even Kanye was able to chop that Smokey Robinson as great as Dilla. Only producer to come close to Dilla is Madlib and it could be argued that Madlib influenced Dilla more than Dilla influenced Madlib.
No doubt that Dilla is king but if you follow their music after they met each other and started working Madlibs style stayed somewhat consistent but Dillas Donuts was heavily influenced by Madlib.
i think what made dilla so unique was his ear for music and ability to find samples. a truly gifted musician whose legacy will live on through his creations.
wow those vocal are so soulful u can here dilla and what he's doing sampling is such an amazing expression, hes playing the song, expressionn wow rest in peace J Dilla
On the Finn..... Lord Dilla...... Was a true blessing to this planet.... For his music.!!! He started the new vibes when it comes to Hip Hop... No other has come close to his talent hands down....💯
Something about smokey robinson and dilla just makes me forget about everything. Like right now, all that matters is that I dont let this beat stop. I've listened to "One Eleven" for years, it never gets old, and I can never play it once.
If this jont doesn't make you smile and/or cry and/or laugh and/or dance and/or get passionate and start singing and/or bob your head like a maniac, you don't have a soul.
Mitch Edquist Man its like I know you, even though you are this random person on the internet whom I have never met! It's like we understand each other as if we have been friends for years
j dilla understands hip hop, he knows hip hop can live even if artist were dead,the machines can help me pump out master pieces based off the energy of back in the day artist.j dilla could flip that energy,and today i can flip that energy and make master pieces.
The bassline makes me want to cry
Still to this day the bass line gives me goosebumps, Dilla makin me feel all emotional
Soon as i read your comment the symptoms of J Dilla hit me . Absolutely fucking incredible track.
he didn't actually make the bassline, its from the original song
@Liam McDonnell is that not known?
It was in response to Meeko OT's comment

oh man such beautiful
+jorgecds the window in his basement lol
+Ewan Harvey LMAO!!!
Nigga probably made this after he came back from the strip club lol backpacker mentality doesn’t apply to Dilla

yo. man. i got no words. Dilla put together beautiful art. RIP
+Lucid Soundz haha you had words than
+colin romisher lol
Goosebumps still rising on my skin from this incredible Flip of a sample... J dilla was one of the greatest.
yes sir
No words
We miss you Dilla.
some the best chops ever.
This song makes me think of this girl I met from Korea. I love her so much
Munkee D. Luffy beautiful ass comment bro all love
Koreans know their hip hop!
every time i bump this beat gotta scroll down to this comment. I don't know why tho
@@musa2901 its sad but also nice i think thats why
what happened to her ?
25 grown ass hell and im trying not to cry while listening to this beautiful beat...
you are almost 37

@Kimani Smith aye post a link or sumthing. I cant speak for the rest of us but I sure would like to hear what you came up with.
@Kimani Smith shared it bro or post link
I'd love to hear it as well. Rip to the goat Dilla
Dude people may be ruthless in internet, but feel free to share, there's people who's willing to rock it with you. Specially we Dillaheads.
@@all.capsss4687 my pen game is definitely good enough nowadays to rap on this i may just lay a verse down one of these days lol
That's exactly why I love Dilla & Madlib these crazy ass beats!! JayLib forever!! two dope friends with beat skills
Crazy how much influence Madlib had over Dilla
@Miguel Miranda: and vis versa
Cori Vaughn madlib the bad kid!

this is what heaven sounds like
It's amazing how the bassline forms nicely just as much as the vocal chops, creating a whole new bassline altogether with the created melody.
Simple loop, fire ass sample, for some reason I thought it was very choppy like Don't Cry.
@@anonymousyoutuber9480it is pretty choppy, he just picked chops from the same section whereas in Dont Cry he picked from throughout the song
One of Dilla's best beats. dang this is so dope
Its 2023 and this still the best sampled track I ever heard man dam. Pure GENIUS!! Rest up brother
Not even Kanye was able to chop that Smokey Robinson as great as Dilla. Only producer to come close to Dilla is Madlib and it could be argued that Madlib influenced Dilla more than Dilla influenced Madlib.
I think they influenced each other equally because I can hear Dilla influences in some of Madlib's production too, he's even said it in interviews.
Hell naw, ever caught an interview with Madlib on Dilla? Jay Dee is king, it almost not even up for debate...
PETE every heard the wu tang version called crack spots
No doubt that Dilla is king but if you follow their music after they met each other and started working Madlibs style stayed somewhat consistent but Dillas Donuts was heavily influenced by Madlib.
anyone could tell me the original song sampled? thks
9th wonder said this was his favorite beat
This is still a banger, Dilla changed my life.
Hope he still is touching your life !
Dilla karate chopped the hell out of this sample, best version i"ve heard
This is Smokey Robinson & the Miracles song "Much Better Off".
Thank you. I were looking for someone like you>
There will never be another J dilla period.
i think what made dilla so unique was his ear for music and ability to find samples. a truly gifted musician whose legacy will live on through his creations.
Master class on sampling creativity.
Elzhi killed every joint Dilla gave him.
Well, you figure that Elzhi did rap in Slum Village so he may have understood like a few how to lay ILL lyrics over a Dilla beat.
This one hurts so good.
this is the song that plays when u first see the love of ur life
😪
MAN, HE FLIPPED THIS SMOKEY SO ILL!! IT JUST GIVES ME FEELING!!
Those chops man,so much passion in them, you can really hear Dillas soul in those chops,wow
This is gut wrenchingly beautiful.
when I first heard it on Elzhi’s mixtape over 10 years ago, it stayed in my head to this day. Revisiting every once in a while. ❤️
dilla was a beast with his mpc. these chops are absolutely insane
I don't think anybody can pay this beat respect with lyrics. It just stands on its own as legendary.
I think Elzhi did a magnificent job on this one imo.
Elzhi did
rocky and kanye
Gets me out of my depression every time.
This is amazing. Beautiful. Genius. Mindblowing. Creative. Its power
Man i remember the 1st time i heard this beat, i lost my mind 2 this day i still havent found it
When did you first hear it? Could have been jukebox joints?
He chopped this sample so nasty. We miss you dillA!
Happy birthday dilla, thank you for everything youve done for me and for everybody
This has to be in the top 5 best sampled hip hop beats of all time! Masterpiece!
Sent from Dilla from heaven letting us know that he loves it there.
2021 AND THERE AIN'T NO COMPETITION FOR YOU MY BROTHER REST IN PARADISE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #SALUTES
Been listening to Dilla for years and Im always finding new beats from him
That baseline is to much for my soul🤯
I Love it Here

This is one of the best chopped masterpieces ever, dilla micro chopped is ass of on this one man, what a legend that god gave us, Rest in peace G
Beautiful beat. Been looking for this for a while.
I love Dilla beats. I wish that brotha was still here.
This has to be my favorite one from JDilla. He is 1 of 1. The sample chops he did were out of this world. Rest In Peace JayD
One of my favorite beats by Dilla
This man is still the best producer to ever do it. But don't get me wrong, the others is ok with me, but they ain't no Jay Dee! #TurnItUp
True story
He the original jd
wow those vocal are so soulful u can here dilla and what he's doing sampling is such an amazing expression, hes playing the song, expressionn wow rest in peace J Dilla
My personal favorite Dilla joint. I said personal. I listen to this shit every single day
Music like this makes me grateful to be alive. Makes me even more sad to know he’s no longer here with us. Long live Jay Dee
Why hasn't CZcams come out with a loop button! All day I would listen to this in the background, while at work. Internal bliss.
boa it’s yo lucky day
@@thoinksnthots9377 all praise 😌
those vocals, those are his soul expressing, those chops, thats his soul speaking, wow, amazing soul, amazing musician
Man I still miss Dilla. His sound is soooo needed right now
agreed.
Hearing Dilla instrumentals make me emotional bruh... R.I.P.
dilla forever
Seconded. He lives on through his music, and always will. Never another like him.
On the Finn..... Lord Dilla...... Was a true blessing to this planet.... For his music.!!! He started the new vibes when it comes to Hip Hop... No other has come close to his talent hands down....💯
J DILLA CHANGED MY LIFE

Still head banging to this in 2017
The soul in this beat in particular from Jay is next level. Jazz vibes for dayssssss.
perfect song, seriously.
People like to talk about how crazy Dilla chop up "Don't Cry" , but this joint right here he went in !
My favorite part of most dilla beats is the first thing I think is how in gods name is someone supposed to rap over this
Elzhi killed this. Check it out
"Love it Here" in the atmosphere leads to potential tears...... every time... one!
Rest in Power, God.
I fell in love with thi song 4 years ago and i still love it here lol
Happy Birthday J. Dilla....R.I.P.
anybody else notice whenever you think you have found your alltime greatest dilla track, theres always one better u listen to the next day? RIP Dilla
This instrumental gives me the chills, love it!
The best beat ever.
Thanks for playing the sample at the beginning.
R.I.P. Dilla.
This is amazing R.I.P J-Dilla
If this jont doesn't make you smile and/or cry and/or laugh and/or dance and/or get passionate and start singing and/or bob your head like a maniac, you don't have a soul.
Cutting Samples is such an over looked aspect in production. Like RZA said, you can't just get a loop and reloop that shit.
Amen to that. Thats why these dudes are the best in addition to other reasons
Mitch Edquist Man its like I know you, even though you are this random person on the internet whom I have never met! It's like we understand each other as if we have been friends for years
Roman Boparai its weird! Almost like if I say "Dude, fuck ___ ___" you might know what to put in there
I know man I don't think people realize there's all those micro chops in there and keeping the bass going smooth with the chops is so overlooked
Some of the greatest hip hop beats were just simple loops. The RZA should know, C.R.E.A.M. was just a loop
Such an old school feel to this song and yet so fresh!
I didn't know this cut was ever sampled.
Right on Dilla! (one of my favorite joints by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles)
R.I.P.
i can never ever ever get enough this track
The shit is fucking beautiful
Still to this day the greatest job of chopping a sample I've ever heard. RIP Dilla
I've dreamed about meeting the guy so many times, if there is an afterlife i hope i see him in it.
This is like one of my Fav J Dilla tracks I heard it on Adult Swim one time and was full of glee for the 4.5 secs they played XD. LOng LIve DILLa!!!
Dilla ripped it here...seams and all.
Bass knocking the frame..
Wooooooooooooooooo .....timeless masterpiece
fav dilla beat
j dilla understands hip hop, he knows hip hop can live even if artist were dead,the machines can help me pump out master pieces based off the energy of back in the day artist.j dilla could flip that energy,and today i can flip that energy and make master pieces.
It still amazes me how he chopped this joint! RIP
everytime i hear this beat it makes me want to shed a tear.....THE GREATEST HANDS DOWN
this joint right here gives me goosebumps
beats like this makes me wanna be rapper. plus it increases my freestyle skill
Best soul sample ever
No matter what happened the previous day, no matter what is happening at the moment, this song always puts me in a beautiful mood.
Doing it old school..just turntables and skill.
MY FAVOURITE J DEE BEAT!!
He-man is the coolest
there is love. peace. heaven. and there is Dilla. Turn it up! Ruff Draft! So much love.
