Dilla week starts early here at the Notorious B.L.O.G. and I couldn't be happier. If you know anything about me, know that Dilla was one of my favorite producers of all time. His influence and impact on hip hop is immeasurable. His birthday is this Saturday (tomorrow) Feb 7th, and all next week is going to be flooded with dope Dilla music to reflect on his life and honor his legacy. We set it off with a MiniMegaMix that DJ Rhettmatic through together as a Pre-Birthday mix called 'WHATUPDOE 09." I'll let him explain it...
Anyways, this is a mini mega mix of some of Dilla's songs & production. I originally did this as a 10 minute mix for the mixtape project that J.Rocc, Houseshoes, & myself did with Dave New York 2 years ago to help out Mrs. Maureen Yancey aka Ma Dukes, Dilla's mother.....an incredible lady (if y'all know the name of the mix cd project, go head & get it......) So I extended this mix from 10 minutes to 35 minutes. It was pretty much impossible for me to get everything that Dilla did on this mix (he has such a big discography, it's ridiculous), especially for the fact I wanted to finish this before his birthday in such a short period of time. Of course, you'll hear some of the classic songs that Dilla has produced in the mix, but you'll also get to here some Dilla beats that you might have or have not heard before, and a live recording of Dilla performing "F*ck The Police" at one of his show in Europe (Paris, France to be exact) on his last tour ever (I was lucky & honored to be his tour dj for his last performances).
Like I said before, I don't think anyone can do a J Dilla mix as great as J.Rocco's, but here's my mix for you to download...nothing really crazy. Please feel free to share with your friends & post it up on your music blog. I hope you enjoy the mix as much as I enjoyed making this. Thanks for checkin this out.
