VIDEO: J. DILLA: STILL SHINING

I think it’s safe to say that J. Dilla has positively affected each and every one of the members of the Blind I staff in some major way. Each one of us probably has our own answer as to how he did exactly but the fact still remains that he did. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out he passed and I’m still feel bummed every time one of his timeless tracks pops up on my shuffle. But I’m soon filled with gladness that this man ever existed in the first place. Happy Belated Birthday J Dilla. May your soul live on through the hearts and minds of any and everyone who has a love and appreciation for anything that resembles quality music. Props to B. Kyle on the video. More info on the documentary below.

Created in 2006, this remembrance piece is created as a tribute to the memory and legacy of James “J.Dilla” Yancey. This is a piece designed for his fans and supporters who knew of his accomplishments before February 2006 and those that have grown to appreciate his genius. Here, we gain a greater insight and understanding about our musical icon.

This has been some years in the making. I have been wanting to dedicate my Feb NKD‘s to Jay Dee since I started doing NKD but it’s always been so difficult to pick n choose my favorite songs from my favorite artist, in this case it being Mr.Yancey himself. I literally sat there and debated heavily over some heaters & had to narrow it down to 40 of my most loved Dilla beats of all time. True Dilla fans should have the majority of this months edition, however like I said, I took my all time faves & put em in one home. Some – the actual songs, some – just the beats. This is for the faithfuls, so with that being said there isn’t a back cover this month. No track list either. It’s ALL DILLA PRODUCED! So from here on out… get used to Feb being like this.
