Dilla Donuts

Awww Yes, I must babble on about J Dilla, the hip hop producer and mc from Detroit. I've had a true fascination with producer/dj/ artists J Dilla and Madlib (Stones Throw) for some time now. I've listened to J dilla's "The Shining", "Ruff Draft", and "Welcome to Detroit", along with the madlib/ j dilla collab "Champion Sound". Must I say that these guys are for real. Not your average hip hop producers of this time. J dilla is no longer with us (RIP) but through his music he reminds people of true hip hop. J dilla was the king of the beat. Unlike many producers and Beatmakers now days, Dilla had a unique fascination in learning the instruments he used in his beats. His ear for samples was incredible and has come out with some of the best stuff i've ever heard.

Being a music junkie myself, i've recently been downloading lots of music ( i do regret it). I just got some of Dilla's hidden work, a good three albums of straight beats, some mpc work, some awesome singles with remixes, and some earlier albums. I just wanna say, the dude is real! His music is just raw and uncut, just how hip hop should be. I could go on about this cat for days, and i'll probably have another dilla phase I'm sure, and of course make another blog about how amazing J Dilla is...

Check him out.
