I was so depressed two years ago and kept trying to get out of Mississippi while making close to nothing. Ended up passing some certifications, finishing college then moved out of my moms house. I kept listening to this whenever I would study or drive home working overnight at a data center. 40 miles there and back at 5am then would wake up at 2pm to repeat the cycle again. I make more money now and I’m healthier but I don’t think I would have done it without Dilla’s music.

First thing I do in the morning is play dilla beats. No raps no words. Just pure sound and me mapping out how my day will go. Law of attraction.

my daughter plays this to the weed plants in her green house! swears it makes em grow stronger...word

This beat just gives me hope, like there's something worth living for in this sick, cruel world.

This feels like the moment after a thought and before an action.

When my wife arrives from work hears Dilla beats knows her man in the kitchen dinner gonna be lit 😎

I really can't describe what this music does to me. Chills. Knowing there are others out there vibing to Dilla, I feel less alone. Peace and love.

I remember when Dounts dropped. I was too young to realize what was really going on. We lost a real actual musical genius. Those words get thrown around a lot nowadays but I strongly believe his ear and musical mind was at a genius level. Looking back now, this dude just wanted to make music. Real music. Im just glad we still got these handful of incredible beats left so we can enjoy it while we can. I thank God for Jay Dee Beats sometimes no lie. Nobody else’s music makes me FEEL everytime I hear it. It’s a beautiful thing

Dilla must be proud of that intro, somewhere in this Universe.

When I first heard Nag Champa back in 2000, I was blown away. I KEPT replaying that joint, to the point where Common was getting a hoarse throat over the track, lol.

If I was an astronaut Dilla would be playing all through the vessel 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Bumping this while burning some Nag Champa rn.. ethereal vibes

This is one of Dilla's most beautiful productions. Not talking most groovy. Not talking most handbanging. Just most beautiful. I could listen to this endlessly.

Nag Champa-The best scent ever! So intoxicating!

You know the ultimate collaboration would be J-Dilla,Prince on piano,John Coltrane on sax,Jimi Hendrix on his axe,George Duke on synthosizer,Biggie,Phife Dawg, on rap vocals,Areatha Franklin on a singing hook,and to finish off Nujabee adding his touches👍👌😎Yeahhhhh

Being a 20-somethings i tend to find myself questioning almost every decision I make, no matter how big, no matter how small. But everytime i come back to this beat, i feel like everything in the universe will be okay and whats meant to be will be. Legends truly never die. Long Live Jay Dee🤍🖤🤍

Listening to J Dilla's beats is a spiritual journey, I get to connect with bits and pieces of me that had disconnected from my core being. Simply Magical!

Can't stop crying uncontrollable; so beautiful

Man Rashid and Dilla was such a vibe on this... Timeless!!!!!

My kids knows dilla beats when they hear nowadays..I been playing them since they were youngins..now they 25 21 and 16

This beat brings tears of joy to my eyes. Hearing Dilla sing the hook is beautiful, like the Universe is at peace in that moment!

My favorite JD instrumental of all time. So cosmic and heavenly. Everytime I hear this, I go some place far and peaceful. This is the time traveler's theme. . .

My best friend just left to the Air Force. I miss her laugh n smile so much. But for some reason this song makes me feel her energy once again and I get a great joy. Thank You J. Dilla 🍩 RIP

i hope Dilla and DOOM are making songs togehter in heaven

The greatest music of all time is beyond space time... I think...

April 15th 2020 : I just came here to remember why i don't want to give up on that world of soul. We are not machines, we are light and love. I am Fabrice Dayan, words, light and love from Paris to the world.

This is beautiful. It feels like after you drink coffee, about to embark on an early morning expedition, to a future you've always imagined.

That intro was magic man, them sounds coming everywhere you never know when the beat is going to drop or which loop will be playing next, Dilla's ear for this shit was a golden tool

Thank you Dilla for blessing us all with your beautiful gift.

J dilla beats make your night smoother while you getting off work, cruising around the block or getting out the store. Dilla legacy will always going and never stop.

This is one of my favorite tracks, very nostalgic.

THE INTRO IS JUST ABOUT AS FIRE AS THE TRACK!!!!!!!! #Salute

This beat makes me feel alive again and I haven't felt alive for a very long time. I just wish I could hold onto this moment a little longer.

Bro the way J Dilla flips these samples blows my mind. This man really had an ear for it. #Legendary.

Music is a place, thank you Dilla.

One of the all time best beats 20 yrs later still one of the best!!

Jay Dee has never missed a beat. I swear every track this dude has made is an instant gem.

Marvin Gaye wouldve worked with Dilla

We be that, we be that, uhhhuu afro... disiac, disiac

He said in an interview that it was one of his fav beats he ever made. I surely know it was mine, hands down! Its a go-to every time life is acting up. We miss ya D. RIB

Dilla the GREATEST

In 2000, I originally bought Common’s “Like Water For Chocolate” LP solely for the song “The 6th Sense”. I was completely mesmerized when I heard the full album, specifically this song. I had never heard beats and flows like that before. Everything I listened to was very “linear” to a degree prior to this. Although I had heard Jay Dee beats on Tribe’s 4th and 5th album, he had advanced to another level by this point.

Common did this beat right with the melancholy tone and lyrics on the “Like Water For Chocolate” album. This beat is pure loveage.

Perfect way to wake up in the morning.

yo ,this is a timeless classic. the true mark of its value is that it will stir emotions forever.

the intro let's you know the ear of Dilla was like no other...i can hear all the chops...RIP J Dilla...thank you La Fuerza for always putting the sample in front....

Never realized how many layers there were to this track

J Dilla, certainly one of the Masters of music, I remember shortly after he passed, I visited James Yancey’s gravesite, and I said a prayer for him at his Tombstone... I’ve never visited someone’s grave like that, and I just sat there thinking about all the contributions Dilla made while he was still in this world with all his music that I love appreciate. I’ll never forget that day I visited J Dilla’s grave, it only made my appreciation and respect and admiration for Dilla grow even more to where I find a connection with Dilla every time I hear his music being played. It reminds me that there are music producers, and then there is J Dilla, who has that visionary ear to hear breaks in a song a certain way no one else can execute or perform at his level. Only producer to me that can come near J Dilla would be Madlib.

I'm from the D, still here, when I heard Slum Village's beats I was like "who putting those mad chops down"? He's the best producer to this day by far, yeah there's arguments about Dre and the rest but Dilla takes me to an astronomical plane, something few have yet to achieve, miss you bro, the music lives on. ✌️

Can't tell me this wasn't tuned at 432 Hz. This raises my vibration every time I play it. . .

This JD beat is so DOPE, that I have no comment...there are no words to describe where the sounds take me. I just have to listen and ride it; flow. Respect and Rest In Power, Dilla. See you on the Other Side. One Love.

J Dilla was truly a master of his art. Although he passed on to the other side, his work will live forever. Rest in peace Jay Dee…

“Awayyyy awayyy… from what you accustomed to hearin’ everyday uh uh.” This one of the smoothest songs ever. Not even a question.

Takes me away...thinking track. Beautiful and thought prevoking

That’s my favourite insense ❤️

Wow, Dilla was so special this is the kind of music you listen to in the morning after meditation it puts you in a clear mind of state! 😌🤞🏾

Dat intro tho🤤

This is the greatest beat of all time honestly

More of a cigar guy but having a smoke watching the sun go down with that bluish sometimes purple sky with this playing in the background is blissful. This the perfect vibe.

0 dislikes. That’s how it should be kept.

Bro I’ve been rediscovering hiphop again since 2020 and it’s 2024 and all of a sudden I’m realising after MJ it’s dilla no one has impressed me this much in all my life time musically I can’t even find fault in his production and I’m a massive critic but I have nothing to add or subtract it’s perfect absolute masterpiece 👌 dude is cold 🥶🔴🔵 one of the coldest to ever do it 💯🔵🔴

Reel music for reel headz by an unreel overlooked legendary superhuman. RIP Dilla. Thank You

Why can't get over Nag Champa, when is it going to get old for me??? I'm right bang smack in the middle of a pandemic and it's just after DOOM has passed😟RIP Villain... What am i doing? I'm listening to Nag Champa instrumentals, with verse that make Common Sense and with as well as without hook!!! Wow talk about timeless... OMG I've been playing it for over 12 years already. RIP 🐐 GOAT James!!!

Ssssiiiiiick rip to one of the greatest of Hip Hop

Takes me places I've been in my multiple past lives sonically .. beautiful.

La escuche en mi primer viaje a otra nación, estar tan lejos de casa, lejos de las tierras que me vieron nacer y crecer, es una soledad que jamás podré explicar.

Been listening to this non stop today!!!!!

We miss you #JDilla ♡ stay burnin’ a champa a day cuz it keeps the evil at bay.. :)❤️ Sincerely, Planet Earth ♡◇♧♤

Happy Birthday, Dilla. we miss you. #RIP

This is in the pantheon of life altering imstrumentals 🔥🙏🏿👌🏿💥💪🏿👆🏿👌🏿✊🏿👏🏿💎 Rest in power to the god

Nag champa cleanses the crib j dilla cleanses ur conscience

Peace and much love to you for this upload, literally closed my eyes and a tear ran down my face 🙏🏾 ...long live the King J Dilla.

You just made my year been waiting for this for years now

Looking at this photo of Manhattan to this beat, I can't help but think about all the people just getting up out of bed, (or those going to sleep), the millions of people underground in the subways, a New Yorker getting into a yellow cab, or an every-day Manhattanite hustling down the street, and all of those people with the same thoughts about their next move, their next destination.

Common did this beat justice

Favorite scent, ain’t nothing new under the sun I tell ya

Dilla is the man... I don't get why so many videos have the NY skyline though when dude was repping Detroit... but it's all good, I'm sure he had love for NYC too.

Thanks Dilla. We can't thank you enough

My nickame's Nag and I am down with being an aphrodisiac for the world! And that beat is gorgeous!

This instrumental is so underrated... That Common album is so smooth you almost skate right past it.

This one of my favorite

Dilla’s music makes me feel some type of new found courage, I love it🖤 Rest In Peace.

There's something about J Dilla's beats that keep me coming back everyday to find more and more. The raw emotion is translucent. One love James Dewitt Yancey RIP!

Thank you for this, getting me through working from home during quarantine 🙏👌🏼

It's criminal to be this good. Thanks for posting these gems. RIP Dilla. Cheers!

Heaven for the ears.

this is truly beautiful

This is what my heart beat is.

Oh man. Beautiful! Just….beautiful

The everyday song* the record of all nuances, mapping your wins & fails, and the breath in-between * a rolling path of cold water, over smooth stones, twisting, turning, pure and devout* relentless in asignation* soul stories... * no listening, just feeling *

You really put this whole thing out with no adds. Salute!

Freedstyled always giving freed smiles

My neck hurts from all the spasms and eargasms listening to this dope ass beat, I’m good with it though.

This touches my soul

I never get sick of this it’s kind of insane
