J DILLA TRIBUTE - INSTRUMENTALS ONLY LIVE MIX

In 1997, Jay Dee was the still new kid on the block. With the success of singles like Runnin' (Pharcyde), and Stakes is High, he had his own undeniable sound, but the majors still weren't sold.
This is proof of that.  
Jay was solicited by a lot of majors to do remixes for artists on their rosters. Time and time again, they would go with someone else. 
The joints he was coming up with were fucking nuts, but to no avail. In one case, he was led to believe that one of his mixes got thru, only to see another producers remix when the 12" showed up at Record Time. 
I told him fuck it I wanna put it out.
I had never put a record out. Jay trusted me.
Got an investor. 
Then I made a phone call.
Chris Manak, aka Peanut Butter Wolf, was my rep at TRC distribution in California. I was working at Street Corner Music ordering records from him every week. I got the #'s 
from him. Sent the masters over and we had a record.
The first pressing was on blue vinyl. Limited to 1500 copies. 
Gone.
Second press was on green vinyl.
Gone.
I also learned to listen to test presses on multiple turntables.
There was a skip in the middle of the fucking Woo Hah rmx that did NOT SKIP on my 1200. Swear to god I had the onlt 12 that could play that shit. It skipped on EVERY other 1200 turntable in the world. Fucked up. Check your test pressings on a few setups. But, that's fixed now. These records go for $100 plus on the internets these days. 
Remastered by Dave Cooley directly from a sealed blue copy.
Why? Because the plates broke at the plant, and I lost the master in a flood 3 years later. That's why.


Enjoy the Gift...

Dear Dilla, you shaped my perception for music in ways I can't describe in words. Music has always touched my heart, but your music moved my soul. You had a gift of making the most creative music using samples from the most unlikely sources. I'll never understand why someone like you, who could have given the world so much more, would be taken way so soon. Dilla, you "literally" changed lives and you probably saved lives too, because when you make music "straight from the heart," it's not just music anymore.

You will always be my favorite musician of all time....

Thank You Dilla, Rest In Peace

J Dilla - All I Do (Instrumental)

So its been just over a year since Jewbei Does Price, and heres the new instalment of the Jewbei Does series. It takes me over a year to make 3 tracks... I need to sort my life out. 

This time I've remixed 3 tracks from Med & Blu's new collaboration. I don't know why I decided to try and remix Madlib beats... its too hard. 

Well anyway, hopefully you enjoy and as always the instrumentals are included only with the Bandcamp download! 

PS. I know the hook on Burgundy Whip is out of tune with the beat, I can't make beats for singing... Im just not that good.

Some audio dope in the form of a mix of some rarities out of the J Dilla Beat Tape Collection (Beat tapes 2-4). This does not include cuts from the first tape of the set simply because I already had a copy of that long before and I know it has been circulating for some time now. However, Beat Tapes 2-4 feature more sought after recordings. Four beat tapes of the 9 tape collection along with the tracklist is provided below.
