and you know what? I always hold back on the Dilla cheerleading on SS because of the hatters, but FUCK THAT for real. Dude has always been one of my favorite producers and this is SO FUCKED right now. Honestly just wondering why and feeling fucked up. Swallowed my heart as soon as I read this shit. Godamn, JUST WHEN HE WAS FINALLY GONNA BLOW UP.
Honestly me and a dude were just talking this weekend about how can folks hate on dude...He had Crazy chops on the 3000 and from the sound of donuts was just starting to take his ish to the next phase
wow...all i can say is I feel blessed to have heard his music. I'm sad he's gone but I will celebrate the dudes life every time I hear one of his creations. I think he was taken way too soon but that's neither here nor there, dude had a positive influence on the world and that's realer than real and will not be forgotten. His music will influence producers for a long time coming which is a nice legacy to have.
WHATTHEFUCK! This hit me completely unexpected. I thought the man was getting better. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK. I can't believe this shit. I'm speechless. This is tragic.
R.I.P. Jay Dee, you were a big inspiration to me and many others. May you find peace wherever you are now.
Legendary producer Jay Dee of late '90's Detroit rap trio Slum Village has just passed. Jay-Dee has produced such classics as "The Light" by Common, "Stakes is High" by De La Soul, Woo Hahh (remix) by Busta Rhymes feat. ODB and countless others. He has also produced originals and remixes over the last 12 years for artists such as D' Angelo, Janet jackson, The Pharcyde, a Tribe Called Quest and many many others. Jay Dee recently released an all instrumental album titled "Donuts" on indie hip-hop label Stones Throw. Jay Dee passed around 8:00 this morning at his home in California of a bone marrow disease. James (J-Dilla) Yancey will forever be remembered as one of the greatest producers in Hip-Hop. We'd like to send our condolences to Jay Dee's family, Rest In Peace homie.
WHATTHEFUCK! This hit me completely unexpected. I thought the man was getting better.
Nah, from what I understood, it was a degenerative and terminal disease. It's something he's been living with for a while, and they had done all they could treatment wise.
R.I.P. Jay Dee, May you find peace wherever you are now.
"But Thompson is quick to point out that he is no real-time purist: "In actuality, one of the biggest influences on my drumming is a producer and drum programmer named Jaydee, from the group Slum Village. He makes programmed stuff so real, you really can't tell it's programmed. He might program 128 bars, with absolutely no looping or quantizing. When Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest first played me some of his stuff, I said, 'The drums are messed up! The time is wrong!' And when we did a song for D'Angelo's record that Lenny Kravitz was supposed to play on, Lenny said, 'I can't play with this???there's a discrepancy in the drum pattern.' And we're like, 'It's supposed to be this way!'"
Respect to the great Jay Dee! This is truly a very sad day for all of us. He blessed us with so much great music over the past 10 years. He will always be remembered by me.
