If you haven't cried listening to a Dilla beat then you haven't lived, it's just so beautiful

When Dilla died I was only 17. I didn't really understand his influence back then. I'm 34 now and it's sad to think he died at only 32y/o. I also lost a friend to Lupus and she was only 25 and before she died, she half joked about wanting Dilla played at her funeral. Her favorite song was "So Far to Go" so we started listening to it in the car on the way there and just bawled our eyes out, but because the song is sexual, we were like cry-laughing, you know what I mean? Anyway, she's the reason that I'm brought here and why I continue to listen to this song every now and then. I feel all kinds of shit listening to this -- it's sexy, it makes me sad, it makes me laugh. Reminds me of her.

i feel so comfortable commenting here knowing that im between people who listen to real rap/hiphop , damn big shout-out to y'all

I must say folks, IF YOU BRINGIN THIS INTO 2021, YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY BLESSED FOR LIFE ! ITS THE AGE OF MANIFESTATION! MAKE YOUR LIFE AS BLISSFUL AS THIS MASTERPIECE DILLA PROVIDED FOR US !! CARRY ON ✍🏽💯

J Dilla isn't dead, just hit play.

The Picasso of beats

This song is perfection. Common and D'Angelo were worthy of this beat. It couldn't just go to any run of the mill rapper. This had to go to someone with the right paint brush. 🎨

I don't know why but I shed a tear every time I listen to this song especially with the instrumental playing by itself.

This song is from Heaven

Timeless. I listen to this at least once a day and I never get tired of it. This shit keeps me grounded while also letting me dream and imagine all of the possibilities life has available.

You ever hear a song that's so amazing that when you close your eyes you take off? That's this song.

No one can replicate J Dilla's instrumentals, especially his drums.

First dance wedding song for the wife and I was to this tune.

Listening to this is like seeing a new color that's so hard to describe to others without having them see it themselves.

it's 2016 and still feels like J Dilla never died...maybe he didn't. Maybe this Music immortalized him.

Happy 40th birthday, Dilla. Rest in piece.

Def the best producer and he was just getting warmed up. Rest in Beats Dilla.

Dilla and Nujabes best producers of all time

“It’s synchronicity at raw, and this is what I came here for.” This song is eternal.

J Dilla wasn't human. He didn't die. He went back home to his planet🌠👽

was at the barbershop and this was playing...wish y'all could have seen the way everybody was just in to this song!! my new shit!!!

This beat makes me feel like what heaven might feel like. RIP DILLA

J Dilla left a mark in my heart. Best producer ever!

D'Angelo and J Dilla are the dopest.

One of the smoothest and biggest slept on joints in hip hop history!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

this is what love sounds like

This is one of those songs that have become unlistenable to me because of how absolutely heart-shatteringly beautiful and sentimental it sounds. I feel like bursting into tears everytime I hear it and I typically just end up thinking about my mom in the sense that she's always motivated me which reminisces with the title of the song. I get positive childhood images all over in my head because the beat is so soft and innocent as well On one hand I wish I didn't have to feel like this since it lowkey hurts, but there's also obviously a beauty in it. J. Dilla is one of the few people I'll genuinely call talented without any second thoughts Edit: I did completely burst into tears in perhaps my most real cry of all time briefly after writing this

From 0:00 to 0:45 has been my ringtone for a little bit over 6 years. People still ask me to this day what song it is.

It's a wonderful song, masterpiece. Once you listen to it, you will never forget it. R.I.P Master J Dilla

Phife and Dilla producing beats up there. RIP

😣😣 this song always hits my soul!! you gta love black soul music 😭

I love the fact that all the comments in this video are about love or at least positive 🙏 Rest in beats Jay Dee ✨

Dilla's friends from the L.A.-based indie label Stones Throw came to visit and brought him a Boss SP-303 sampler and a small 45 record player so he could make music while in the hospital. Dilla completed 29 of the 31 songs on Donuts while still in the hospital. - Credible Sources

Never heard of J Dilla before. And this got me introduced to him. RIP.

I want to play this at my funeral because I want to let people know I'm always still here.

Who still banging in 2019?

R.I.P. James Yancey(AKA Jay Dee or J Dilla), one of the best hip-hop producers of all time.

Love that vinyl hiss too

And because of your innocence, even more you'll remember this, hardcore gentleness (;

grew up with this type hip hop since 5 years old. j dilla is right there with Nujabes and Pete Rock. i wish i could shake dillas hand. he changed my life, tears running down. love you hip hop. always keep it real.

J. Dilla, Common, and D'Angelo.. truly Gifted!! 💕

This is the song I imagine would be played as you ascend into heaven. Only to be greeted by Dilla and his MPC at the gates. As if fate knew you still have so far to go from the gates on.

2022 still here ..what a masterpiece❤

The way Dilla flipped “Don’t Say Goodnight” was so futuristic. Dilla was different

"...hardcore gentleness..." sums it up quite nicely 💜🎵💃🎵💜

This is fried chicken in frying and and collard greens boiling hip hop soul.

This beat makes me imagine what "J" was feeling when he created this piece. Wow geniuses creating melodies... why is it that too few are doing this anymore? I miss Dilla and the "Old" (genius) Kanye West. Feels like they are both deceased and gone. Jay D from blood/heart disease and Kanye from complications due to fame and Kardashian Cancer...both life ending diseases. R.I.P to both.

Came for the Beat, Stayed for the Lyrics! ❤️😋💍😍

One of my all time favorite Dilla tracks. I could listen to this song over and over..

That piano melody at 4:47 so beautiful 🥺🎶 Brings tears to my eyes

what the fuck, how come I feel basically every one of these beats are better quality than nearly every other beat out there.... Makes you actually think wtf is everyone else doing when you listen to the completeness of J Dilla, RIP your talent will be missed.

To all the young cats, THIS is what real Hip Hop is. Not that garbage y’all puttin out today. To all my old heads bumpin this like we in a Regal sittin on trues and vogues with 2- 12’s in the trunk and a Alpine deck. Keep rockin y’all. Dilla will always get play over here.

can't be the only one who will smoke a blunt and play this song this song is perrrffff ❤

This song touches the deepest parts of every person's heart ❤️💖

Just listening to this song makes me happy and sad. Wow

I looked and looked but I couldn't find this vinyl in the wild, I decided to do a Record Store Day up in Cleveland. I had never been there or to the store. I found this album and made some really good friends. Thank you J-Dilla your music is still bring people together in 2022.....❤✊🏾🔥 Long Live Real Hip-Hop🎤🔥

Still the sound of summer for me

Tears at my heart strings and warms my soul

이게 그 성우가 1년동안 찾던 노래...두란두란ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ계속 그렇게 들린다ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ도대체 어떻게 찾은 거앜ㅋㅋㅋ

If I'm ever with a girl that hated this track... The relationship would be over...lol

Always reminds me to stay humble. Blessed song

Dilla, common, d angelo .

J Dilla changed my life

One of the best beats ever produced. Plus common and D’Angelo are a perfect for this beat. R.I.P dilla ✊🏽

Namjoon..💙

Every single time I listen to this, I realize perfection exists. This Dilla beat, Common voicing the lyrics, and D'Angelo on the hook are the perfect combination. I can put this on repeat and be content.

Raise my son on Dilla, and now all he asks is to play dilla

Lets go 2023 prayin for better days

I could blaze to this all day

It's one of those songs you feel nostalgic and you don't know why.

Isley Brothers Don't Say Goodnight...beautiful sample! Love this song, Rip JDilla...

One of the most beautiful creations of all time!!!! Dilla is the GOAT!!! And a dream collab with D'Angelo and Common to bless us all on a track!!💯💯🎶 🎶 🎶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is one Dilla's best

this sample is sick, isley brothers - only justt clocked it

so dope. no one can touch Dilla. the best at what he did. RIP.

taking this right through 2023

After 4:24 it just take you somewhere deeper bruh! I love the piano at the end! It's like grabbing on dear life to ya lover by the hand or close to you! Taking you somewhere better than this world when you close ya eyes! Can anybody explain the talking in the background?! I fell in love when I first heard this on Common album and now on his! R.I.P. Dilla

Who else is still listening too this in 2018

This might be the most emotional hiphop beat ever made, full stop. I am absolutely in love with the genius Jdilla showed here. What a masterpiece.

Where is rm fans ? 💖

Every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry because of the potential that we lost when Jay passed, but it also makes me so happy because it shows how talented he was with making up beats, so I'm sad, but I'm also so happy that we got to witness, listen, and overall just enjoy the music he gave us, and I'm so thankful for him, because he inspired so many artists today. Thank James Yancey, and may you rest forever peacefully knowing you did not die in vein.

soft wet brow sugar mixed with cinnamon. they say I'm conscious yea I use my head.!!!! am I the only woman turned on by Commons lyrics?! omg

RIP Rudolph Isley. Your legacy will live on throughout this song 🙏🏽🕊 Rest In Beats, Dilla 🙏🏽🕊

I was 8 when J Dilla passed, but at 26 I have never appreciated his music more than ever. R.I.P. a true legend

One of thee best producers to ever grace this earth!!! Rest in Paradise J Dilla!🔥🔥🔥

Poetry On Steroids on thee Heavenly gemstone of a Track. God given musical genius...RIP J Dilla.

Went to Dilla's Donuts a few years back in the D. His Uncle Herm ran it and he was one of the coolest dudes I have ever met. Had a lot of good stories about his nephew. Long live Dilla. Your beats are eternal!

What's cool is that we all can individually enjoy this MUSIC for our own personal reasons...thats what music is all about...this music reminds me that even in a digital age i am truly a natural man. So direct into me that i move without thinking, just feeling..."feelin it". A step closer to LOVE for real. Music done right can be soooo powerful.

roll a fat one, tune this on, forget shits for a while, you're okay. you're golden.

it's dilla month...man.. you can still feel the brother...so much soul in the way he chopped and played this groove....... all about the groove.

2020 Still hooked on the beat....♥️♥️ D'Angelo takes it to another level for me♥️♥️

This beat... this beat is amazing, matter fact outstanding. I fell inlove with this song right from the start. Everytime it plays i feel a good ass vibe.... rest in peace, Dilla.

i cant get over this song no matter how old it gets,still sounds better than what i hear today

man this does something to my soul.....

There was a thunderstorm about 10 min ago. Then I walked outside and the clouds are moving and the sun is starting to shine. Kentucky weather at its finest. It is such a beautiful day watching the clouds part to make a window in the sky. fuckinh love this track

RM💜

This track is better played at night,when you late nite cruising with your lady.

To the best producer in the world, you are IMMORTALIZED in hip hop history and beyond. Thank you so much for your effortless contributions to the world of music. Shout out to Detroit, the place I rest 💛✊🏿
