It's crazy how the genre still survives in his shadow.. all this mellow study low fi music that was inspired by him.

Like many brehs here I was fresh in college when I discovered his music, it really was for me what I imagine chill ass jazz was for my parents generation and older.

RIP to the god nujabea, no telling what hip-hop could've been if you were given a few more years to thrive

Shared a birthday with Dilla:wow:

Shout-out to Substantial getting at people for saying his name wrong:ufdup:

Anybody remember the mixtape he did? Not his music but a nice selection of joints he spun. I know Blackalicious Feel That Way is on here.




Shoutout to Substantial in general :salute:

One of my favorite mc's. And he's going to drop music with Asheru this year :wow:

RIP Nujabes
Metaphorical music is the soundtrack to my college years.
This man inspired an entire genre...all this chillhop stuff that's big now is based on his sound. Way ahead of his time.
Dang, I can't believe its been 10 years I remember I was looking for when his new shyt was dropping and read through this half Japanese half English article saying he passed :wow:

This.
