Doom – Gazzillion Ear (Produced By: J-Dilla)

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y043Tr2hLy4&feature=related[/youtube] 

Remember the post bout a brand new Doom x Dilla joint that J.Rocc had premiered at a club event? Well, here is the CDQ audio of that. I’m seeing a lot of Doom joints floating around, all over Youtube. I hope these don’t end up killing his release. PS – That bassline is stoopid niiice.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!!

394598568_54eaea1821.jpg Just wanna thank everybody who hit us up and celebrated J Dilla Day with us yesterday. We really appreciate the support and love. Also, be sure to purchase a Ma Dukes shirt by Parra to help raise money for a sooper great cause. Shout outs to Jason from the Stones Throw store who was nice enough to hit me back to confirm my order and sizes. Keep in mind, its Dilla Day everyday.

I received a very special mix from RP3 in my mailbox. The Dilla Midnight Snack is a 61:21 mins mix of some of the rarest and illest smoothest/mellowest instrumentals by Dilla, put together by RP3 and his ppls. This is a MUST HAVE for all Dilla heads. I’m currently stuck between 25:20-26:50. The transition to Love Jones (off The Shining) is heavyyyy! Add this to the collection ASAP. Well done!

How unfortunate: “The Battle for J Dilla’s Legacy”

jay-dilla-784728.jpg

Last month, VIBE magazine published this heartbreaking article about the state of J Dilla’s family and estate. It is really unfortunate that the lawyers and accountants take over like this, especially when influential people pass away. The family can’t even use his name or likeness for any commercial purposes…what the fuck? Like really come on! It’s a complicated case, and I guess you just gotta hope that the “professionals” involved do the right thing, and the situation works out for the best. Check out the article, its a very good read.

Dilla’s Fam Interviews

Here is a collection of  the illest interviews by Dilla’s closest friends/fam. The 4 parts touch on Dilla’s Ruff Draft EP, the infamous shirt, a trip to Cali and his ppl’s memories of him. I remember listening to the EP for endless hours of the night for months and cruising down the streets blasting The $ and Crushin’. The original was released back in ’03, but did not include Wild on it. The re-release was pushed by Stones Throw and issued with a limited packaging which included: a TURN IT UP t-shirt, Ruff Draft Cassette, a custom Reckless Driving ticket and a J Dilla photo. Peep the rest of the interviews after the jump.

Interview #1: Dilla’s surprise gift from Common when he reached Cali and his new friendship

Statik Selektah x Q-Tip: The Look of Love [Dilla Tribute]

statik-slektah-dilla-dedication.jpg

I was going through my externals and came across a bunch of old Dilla tribute mixes and beat tapes. I’ll be posting ‘em through out the day, but I’ll leave out the beat tapes. I’ll letcha’ have the fun of scavenging around for all 3 of ‘em. There’s a couple more, but most of them have repeats.

The here’s a fine collection of Dilla’s work, accompanied by his close friends x fans. Static Slektah and Q-Tip pulled together joints from Common, De La Soul, Termanology, Erykah Badu, Hi-Tek and many more. Peep the tracklist and download link after the jump.

Dilla Ghost Doom. The collaboration we never got.

MF Doom rocks out to Dilla’s guitars on Sniper-Elite while Ghostface Killah slaughters on Murder Goons. Not much (hardly any) Doom collabos exist, however GFK was able to squeeze 2 beats from Dilla for his Fishscale album. Sadly, Dilla wasn’t around long enough to hear the finish product. The mp3s for the following 2 tracks can be purchased on Stones Throw (here) for only $0.99 cents each.

Vintage Footage: J Dilla on Madlib

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRzkGVW7z0Q&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div[/youtube]

I wish there was more to this. Dilla speaks on how he met up with Madlib and formed the sooper group Jaylib. There are hardly any interviews on the two speaking on each other. I wish someone has and leaks the Champion Sound studio sessions. One can only dream!
