R.I.P. James Yancey. R.I.P. Jay Dee. R.I.P. J Dilla. This man needs his own long-weekend, not for anyone to mourn his death… but to celebrate his life. I should have posted something for his birthday but I wasn’t in capacity to do so. I should post more often, but I haven’t been able to. I’ve been listening to a lot of better music too, believe it or not. A lot of J Dilla, and if it’s not J Dilla, than it’s the samples he used. I’ve been meaning to post these for a minute, but there’s probably no better time than now:
J Dilla – Soulful Genius (Library of a Legend) [12 Discs]
Discs 1 to 5 | 6 to 10 | 11 & 12
If you can’t fux with the MegaUpload, I’ll re-host when I get home… but no promises for now. I’ll get the tracklists popping off in the comments section. I’ll add on anything else I can think of later tonight. I have a lotta rarities but I’m not sure what I should post out of respect. I had some of the Beat Tapes in queue to upload before I left the house.
