In my generation people usually started out listening to Dre, then progress to Pete Rock and Premier, finally ending up will Dilla. Dilla was for the true hiphop heads

His music came from the space, he was an alien. Nobody else had that magic on beats, if you analyze his music you realize how fucking genious he was, from the punching detroit kicks to the tight nasty and face slapping snares, the crazy patterns, the groove, the way he chopped and played with the samples, his beats have soul man, not even Premier or Dre have that magic sumtin, even being Goats too...What a huge loss hiphop took when he passed away, I still remember how sad my father was that day, thats how deep Dilla music impacted on people. RIP J Dee, your legacy is 4 ever

I'll be 100 years old still jammin to Jay Dee's tracks (cane or no cane)

[lafranceful]

Runnin..thank God for my generation🔥 best era

[bayareanewman]

The Pharcyde’s music was pure hip hop art in its purest form. I didn’t know he also produced for all these others like Tribe! Awesome list!!

[allgoodwoods]

Stakes is High was definitely my number one by him!

[LuanMiguel.]

Quanto mais batidas de Dilla, menos meus ouvidos aceita as bstidas trap e suas letras, J Dilla era como um compositor das batidas, soando como poesia sem palavras alguma...
Só agradecer à DJ Premier, Dilla, Havoc, Dj Hum, KL Jay, Necro, Pete Rock, Muggs, RZA, Dr.Dre

[rainmakerscentral]

“Running” has to be higher. It just has to be, bruh. Probably #1. Good looking out on “Find a way”, underrated beat and track.

[NkataM]

My favourite J Dilla beat is "It's Your World" from Common's album. The emotions he poured into that beat reverberate across the universe and it'll forever last ❤

[TahjAmir]

Stakes is high will forever be his best.. i get lost in that instrumental

[Uchebeatz]

I wish Drop (pharcyde) was on this list. Such an underrated song and instrumental

[mrloof]

Damn no "Didn't cha know" "So far to go" "Love is..."

[ntandomokoena]

The beat for "Love is" by Common makes me emotional.

[kingtim_ade]

Climax & Won’t Do will always be my favorite beat by J Dilla 💯

[mikehawk]

man I love this shit it reminds me of Nujabes who was another great producer in Japan, unfortunately passed as well may they both rest in beats.
