J-Dilla as an emcee appreciation thread

[Ezus Jezus]

I loved his rapping on Champion Sound. Madlib on the other hand...

so right. I can barely listen to Champion Sound because Madlib is terrible.

Juju from the Beatnuts should be in this discussion for best producer on the mic too.

 

[Big Mel]

Yeah, I definitley started legit liking his raps on Ruff Draft & the fukk The Police era. Then i realized I even liked the Slum raps as complementary sounds to the beats.

low key Slum innovated the voice/flow as a companion piece to the beat that Black Milk still runs with.

Same here. Ruff Draft is probably my favorite set of his raps.

I meant to post this joint too

 

[I love Latina women]

agreed

 

[ManBearPig]

He no Pete Rock or Madlib at rapping

 

[Big Mel]

this is the song that put me on notice that Guilty Simpson was an absolute beast.

Complete freestyle and still managed to keep the pocket and vibe

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Think Dilla is a pretty cool MC. Better than Madlib def.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I think Pete Rock is a really dope MC that produces.
But Lord Finesse is the best.
