This photo from "Jay Dee's Revenge / Birthright" (2012) by J Dilla.

According with the internet it could have been taken in The Sound Library 165 Orchard St, NYC https://maps.app.goo.gl/FACK23FfZWYZXYDw9 but I think simply It can't be the place, The Sound Library was sited in a semi-basement and the shop in the photo looks in a street level site, please check the street view.

Hey guys, yesterday I tried to post links to a large archive of Dilla beats that I originally found on Reddit, but has since been taken down. Unfortunately, the links were filtered, so other users couldn't see them. Thus, I've decided to post a link to a Google Doc that contains the links. Here it is:

Let me know if there are any problems!

S/O to YE

how accurate?

Insert only. I finally found a frame that would fit it. Probably the closest I'll get to owning the original tape : ...)

(Shout out to the person that posted the Dilla keepsakes a few weeks back, you inspired the gold gild)

This was by far the trickiest remake ive done so far, the bass is a close as i could get it, the snare and hi hat are reasonably close as well, and the sample is decent, let me know what you think

I'm trying to identify the overlapping male/female voices at the beginning of J Dilla's "On And On Instrumental" (0:00–0:25).

I've spent some time isolating the intro and trying to make out the words. To my ears it sounds something like:

>"You said that ... to make you smile ... on and on ... you said that you were giving up ..."

The voices are layered and filtered enough that I don't trust that transcription, so I'm hoping someone might recognize the source instead.

I also found another version of the beat that seems to contain more of the same vocal before it gets chopped, but I still haven't been able to identify where it's from:

I think the main musical sample is Lenny Breau – "That's All" (1969)

Sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSNmORs5Eds
Breakdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Itpi3cg80

It appears to be the same source used in Dilla's "Secrets of the Sand"

However, the intro voices don't seem to come from that recording, so I'm specifically looking for the vocal sample at the start—not the main musical sample.

I've seen people mention Erykah Badu, Teena Marie, Tina Glover and Dwele, but I haven't found a specific track that matches the intro.

Have the vocal lyrics ever been identified? If anyone remembers an old forum discussion, sample breakdown, has a lead on the source, or any thoughts I'd really appreciate.

I normally make more idm focused music but this Al Wilson song was stuck in my head so I had to chop it up on that good bitbox

Went to Kats album release party in Detroit, got my copy of the new joint signed along with my copy of dedication. “HE AINT KNOW PHAT AND JAYs THE ULTIMATE OBSTACLE”
