Tried embedding Questlove's 1 hour tribute to Dilla that was on Hot97 (I know, I know the station is trash), but yuku wouldn't allow me to embed). Here's BBC radio's tribute...Check it out...

Been rocking to Donuts all day today. True testament to his producing skills when a bunch of short looping beats still has replay value after all these years.

RIP J DILLA

I've been listening to the Questlove interview/tribute mix for the past few days.  Op, my bad if this is redundant to what you've already posted about the mix:

[h2]Questlove Speaks on Why Dilla was the G.O.A.T. + 1-Hour Tribute Mix![/h2]by Eddie "STATS" on February 10, 2012 

If you happened to be stuck in traffic in NYC around noon today (or following @okayplayer on twitter), the god of sample-flipping was smiling on you. That’s because our own afro-rocking overlord ?uestlove was invited to hold down Mr. Cee‘s Old School at Noon slot on the infamous radio station Hot97 as part of a series Cee calls “Black Fist Fridaysâ€

From OkayPlayer, link here. Cool event to go to if you live in NYC...Kind of jelly...

Did we mention recently that every damn day is Dilla Day around here? We were just playing. Today is Valentine’s day. Buy your boo boo something nice and recognize the holiday by limiting your Dilla rotation to jams like this one. SUNDAY is Dilla Day (again). At least it is here in NYC, where the annual Donuts Are Forever event will be shutting down Brooklyn for the 6th year in a row. Pre-eminent DJs Neil Armstrong and Prince Paul (kids, he used to be in this group called De La Soul) will be presiding over the solemn ceremony and it promises to be off the handlebars. Find full details after the jump and cop tickets via Brooklyn Bowl.

Rare Form Presents:
DONUTS ARE FOREVER 6 WITH SPECIAL GUESTS

Everytime I hear a Dilla beat, I think that might be my favorite. Had that just occur with Air J XII's post of Thelonius. Good post...

For those that are Dilla and Roots fans, here's a link to Questlove's tribute mix to Dilla on NYC's Hot 97. I've been listening to this for weeks...

I didn't feel like making a new thread, today is the 7 year anniversary of his passing.
 

 

[Kimchi Papi]

RIP.

I listen to least one Dilla track daily (depending on the shuffle mode of my iPhone). Feel blessed to be able to his music. Here's a great doc Stussy did on Dilla.

His estate was supposed to drop this vinyl figure but I haven't heard anything concrete about the release date.

I was under the impression that figure released; I'm glad to hear thatit hasn't. Now I have to keep my eye on it so I can cop. Thanks for posting those vid.
