New Dilla


Greater in death than idiots like Rick Ross ever will be while alive.

Some previously unreleased joints Jay Dee recorded for MCA. This new Pay Jay album has a few songs I've heard live--"Fuck the Police," "Diamonds"--and a bunch that are new to me.

- Jay Dee, "Pay Jay" (prod. by Kanye West)
Feelin' the muscular Doors sample. For a rapping producer who spent most of his time rhyming about drinking and women, Dilla was pretty dope. I continue to hear his shit and think I am chatting with a buddy. I think it's partially because you can hear how much he likes hip-hop in his rhymes and his delivery. He just goes in and has a good time.

- Jay Dee, "Remember That" (Remix) (ft. Bilal and produced by Peter Rock, I believe)
Zone out.

- Jay Dee, "No One Knows"
Wow, I love this. Floral sounding, if that makes any sense.
