The class is not your formal class like taking out the Dilla text book and copy everything he did and now learn how to do that, NO - The ensemble is a Jam Session and who better to teach young musicians about Dilla's legacy? Raydar graduated from Berklee a couple years ago, then they called him back to be a teacher! because he knows the music, the knows how to do it the right way.... come on people! get with it. Dilla's music has inspired a whole new world of musicians and these musicians are the future of our music. - swat102 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:20:07 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23809 good to see my alma matter getting on board the Dilla train. They always seem to get a lot of press coverage whenever they do something hip hop related. the only problem is that people always end up stealing the MPCs from the ensemble department. - HORSE FORCE Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:33:33 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23796 Let Dilla rest in peace already. Stop using his name to advance YOURS, no matter who co-signed this project. - CriticalBEATdown Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:31:09 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23791 SBA All Day! Much props to Raydar for his hard work over the years. - Nahmyself Sun, 21 Jun 2009 01:36:55 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23781 To make music you need to feel it...not take a class to copy Dilla. If you already study Dilla, you're well on your way then. - Mondee B.

On one hand, I think it's great that over the past decade academia has embraced Hip-Hop. Notice I didn't say "accepted into it's curriculum," because Hip-Hop doesn't need academia's acceptance to for validation. One the other hand, I'm a little nerved by the hyper accessibility that recent technological advancements have brought to hip-hop. It's clear now that EVERYONE calls themselves a producer and has some sort of DAW installed on their Mac or PC. If this course is essentially a "Make Beats Like Dilla" class, then I think academia misses the point. If it's more about his philosophy and his approach to music making, then I'm all for it. I mean, he can definitely be considered an innovator. But if a class is simply teaching you to mimic the style of a performer note-for-note, then I think it's a waste. There are already plenty of copy cats out there making You Tube videos claiming their beats are original, when their tracks sound like they raided Dilla's vaults. But, if the ensemble took a dope, original approach to analyzing and re-imagining Dilla's music like the Suite For Ma Dukes V-Tech show at Cal State a few months earlier...then may the force be with you. - Superbizzee Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:05:39 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23694 thats amazing too see someone who real so called hip hop heads dont even know off the top of the head by face, name or even sound... where those who just have a connection to great music and melodies, can call out a Dilla instrumental without even seeing this mans physical. I am truly happy to see Dilla live thru music.. period.. - Artistik Fri, 19 Jun 2009 01:19:16 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23691 Epic....just epic. I'm so heartfelt to read this article, can you guys imagine how proud Dilla would be if saw this? Wow man, studying true music education through a true genius. If even one student from this ensemble educates himself enough and ends up even tapping 25% of Dilla's talent then Hip-Hop will never die and will only grow stronger. Best article I've ever read. RIP James. - Skooter Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:20:00 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23579 Dilla was one of the BEST See VA in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7PVOkfVwH8 - antoinethereal Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:28:50 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23577 .....I want to go to there..... - DigablePlanet Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:20:08 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/music/donuts:-dilla-helps-hip_hop-come-full-circle,-even-in-the-after-life.--200906158225/#comment-23570 Excellent story Kendra.
