That's what I get for not clicking the link. I thought that was the Arsenio Hall performance of Shadows, not the 3005 video.
Just to troll Toku and Esch, here is the Arsenio CG performance.
Song is called Shadows. Glover looking homeless, come on man, you're supposed to stylish. Looking like he's about to eat cheerios and watch cartoons, sitting criss cross and shit.
Pusha T ft. Rick Ross - Hold On video.
Rocky's Phoenix video also just went up but got suddenly pulled again.

Nice, not one of my favorite tracks, but good.

I can understand not liking Dilla, but the bolded comment is just insane to me. There's not a single hip hop producer who comes close to Dilla's drums, end of story. Even Pete Rock would tell you that.
Kanye better than Dilla? I gotta head out for fresh air. Hold me, thabiz (pause).
lmao
I like a whole lot of other beat makers more than J Dilla, but what J Dilla has done for other people, and the shit he was doing at the time he was doing it, grants my respect for the guy. Can't deny his impact, I really like some of his stuff though. I feel like if he had more time to make experimental shit it would have been brilliant.

Shit sounds like it came from the year 2022. It's like Vapor-Metal. It's music sent from an era where only Silk Roads exist. This is that Deep Webb shit.
When I first heard Donuts I had just got into a bunch of other influential stuff like Entroducing, Mezzanine, My Vinyl Weighs a Ton, The Unseen, etc series I have say Donuts just didn't stand up to any of those albums for me.

With respect to the "Dilla changed my life" people...I know people like that. You won't find too many Pitchfork hipster bandwagon types repping that shit. I know a local producer who literally worships Dilla, listens to his shit daily, is completely obsessed, etc.
Granted I'm in Michigan so it's not that hard to find legit people like that here, or in Cali for that matter.

ehhh i dont think there's only 2-3 points on the scale, not saying he has to be on that tier (though i do personally rank him better than a few of those names), but i get the backlash you're having here, especially since i don't often hear you ranking tribe nearly as high as i/others might.
its kind've a game that's being played though - Dilla was literally unknown for so many years that he got blown up after his death, you feel that's disproportionate but those of us who really liked his stuff back when he was "your favorite producer's favorite producer" bit with nothing else to his name don't mind the recognition. shit was crazy influential, though a lot of that is more evident for me now in jazz-hop/etc
while i actually like some of that neo-soul shit, q-tip alone has some noteworthy production, i just thought you were tossing out too many good producers here for what wiki attributed specifically to the collective...sorry bout your grandmommas tho haha
i'm on some other other shit but hopefully you'll be on that level one day too esh, i believe you got potential man. also fuckouttahere with Prince Paul, he's amazing but how you figure he's underrated? he shows up on tons of lists i come across
Donuts is treated as his go-to but its not my personal favorite of his stuff either to be honest

Entroducing was tremendous...i know trip-hop existed before but not to me, that shit is still a top 10 of all time in my mind. i think Shadow's had a big problem living up to its impact, if anything...one of the few albums i feel cant get overstated.

Entroducing is one of those albums that dominated my life for a year or more.
The downside of democracy is that most people are goddamn idiots.

Entroducing one of those rare albums man that it never really stops dominating you. I'll go months, year without listening to it and then hear a track from it and It'll just dominate rotation for another few weeks/months again. Like an ex-girlfriend you keep coming back to, she seems to look even better everytime you see her. You miss the way she made you feel, you miss the little hairs on the back of her neck and the way her comforter smelled. You let the memory wash over you.
Yeah, I actually agree. I honestly feel the same way about drake.
this is the epitome of flabby and sick.
Gambino always sits criss cross, can't even hate, liked the performance kinda - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTH8Fj9S3fA
I really hope you are joking. Drake is one boring ass mediocre singer.
Still cant get that Ellen performance out of my head. Junior high school talent show status.
Not me, that was a teaser.
it would be awesome. X-Mas In Harlem gets so much burn in my household during the holidays.
Yeah but I like his singing more than his rapping. Notice how I never said he was a "good" singer.
I think both Z-Ro and Chamillionaire are far better rapper/singers than Drake on his best day.
I do. Back up with all the hating.
I do. I never understood the Cham hate. His mixtapes were great, and his debut wasnt bad either.
This, plus he's still going strong.
Did venom/whatever his 3rd is called ever come out? I swear he got delayed every year.
