As we announced with the news of the start of the new official J Dilla website, Stones Throw and Stussy have partnered to put out a limited edition Dilla t-shirt. Along with this, Stussy produced a 3-part documentary on Dilla's life during his later years in Los Angeles. Part 1 handles introductions, part 2 "Detroit to Los Angeles," and part 3 focuses on Donuts. Stones Throw has sold out of the limited edition shirts, but you can find a list of stores where it's available here.
Thank you, Stussy!!! R.I.P Dilla!!!
I remember when I first heard Stressed Out ….1996…JayDEE….whoooo..
That dude was on some other…. “IVE NEVER FELT QUITE LIKE THIS”…
Shit I bought the original ruff draft ep when it came out on wax at fat beats in NY…damn time flies
James Yancey…genius
RIP DILLA!! Best Producer EVER hands down….
DILLA FOREVER GONNA BE MY FAVORITE
Egon mentions in the third part that there is an original short mix of Donuts, before Jeff Janks extended it.
Is that available anywhere?
I’ve searched hard online, but no luck so far.
Love the shout out to Paris ..
confession… there was a time when i thought really thought havoc could fuck with dilla!
Word! thank you Dilla!! Thank you Stussy. Thanks to all involved on this project!
even in death Dilla still gets no recognition. his estate is still being looted. his mother lost her house
Rest in Power J Dilla !!! You are my Yoda !!!
These videos disappeared…I don’t see them at Stones Throw or on the Dilla site. Anyone know where they are?
Vids are back up
DILLA DOPENESS
The vids are great, mad thanks for sharing em with the people. But when you make a documentary about Dilla, imo it’s kinda not finished without having interviews and just views on the late grate and his music and legacy by the likes of T3, Quest, Black, Q-Tip etc. It’s kinda funny that even in these videos there are interviews with Wolf and Egon, but no interview with Madlib.
Don’t take it as playa hating, just expressing my thoughts – I think it would dope if this sort of full documentary could see the light of the day some day.
DILLA = LIVES FOREVER!
