God I wish I had new Dilla music to write about, but the fucked up thing about people dying is that they stop making new incredible music (except for Tupac, who's averaged like an album every two years since his death). So instead here's a look back at the best James Dewitt Yancey posts over the last few years. See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/20/11 | Filed under Downloads, J Dilla, Immortal Technique

For those who aren't familiar, Immortal Technique is an emcee so revolutionary he makes Dead Prez look like Ray J. No matter what you think of the man's music you have to respect that level of integrity, and you have to respect anyone who's granted a beat by the legendary J. Dilla. Listen and download....

J Dilla’s “Donuts” Gets Some Delicious Visuals (Video)

This Proof x J Dilla “The Fizzo” is Dope, My Bad Proof (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/12/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, J Dilla, Proof

I'll admit, when he was alive I didn't pay much attention to Proof. He was Eminem's hypeman, and I heard he was a pretty good rapper in his own right, but honestly I never bothered to particularly listen to the man's work...until this "Fizzo". Released by Paul Rosenberg on the five-year anniversary of Proof's death, "Fizzo" is a J Dilla produced joint that might not be an instant classic, but it's dope. Listen and download...

Check Out This Dope J Dilla “Full Shining” Documentary

I was considering posting this new dope King Mez track, or maybe mocking this Chipmunk joint, but in the end Brando's article got me thinking about the importance of honoring those who have truly made an impact on the culture. So, instead of Kim Kardashian sex tape jokes, I highly recommend you check out TheDillaProject's "Still Shining" documentary, featuring Ma Dukes, footage from his funeral, testimony from friends and collaborators and much more.

Everyone embraced Warhol mainly because of his ties to a period where everything weird seemed cooler than it was. And the man who learned the most from under Warhol’s wing – Jean Michel Basquiat has now become hip-hop’s new art muse. The question is, how?

Jaylib (Madlib x J Dilla) Turn the Volume “Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme)”

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/21/11 | Filed under Downloads, J Dilla, Madlib

After spending all morning staring at booty, talking ish about Timbaland and marvelling at Cam'ron's strangely captivating stupidity, I was starting to feel like I was falling out of favor with the true hip-hop gods. Thankfully there's nothing like some new Jaylib (J Dilla x Madlib) to get my soul back in order. Listen and download...

Consequence Loves to be the “Bearer of Bad News” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/13/10 | Filed under Downloads, Consequence, J Dilla

While he used to split buckets at the KFC with Kanye, he hasn't really been allowed to board the G.O.O.D. Music train. It's the story of his career really. The music's there, but he's just not particularly marketable. But since I don't have anything to sell, I'm a Cons fan, which is why I've been bumping his new, finally mastered joint, "Bearer of Bad News". J Dilla production is reason enough to post a track, but thankfully the Chicago vet also comes through on the mic. Listen and download...
