R.I.P Nujabes - Today Will Be 10 Years Since His Passing

[Drip Bayless]

One of my favorite producers of all time
Influenced me to start making beats
Crazy how music with no words can evoke so much emotion

I never understood the term "Chill Hop". Its just sound like boom bap to me. That style been around since the 90's.

Just a way for people to try lump themselves into a "unique" sub genre that already exists.

Crazy...dudes music came to me at a very rough period in my life and the song “feather “ became the song that helped me through it all:



That lofi piano loop, the drum hits, all perfect. But the thing that got me was how the lyrics perfectly matched the vibe of the record...and the hook:

“So I'm driftin away like a feather in air-
Lettin my words take me away from the hurt and despair-
So I'm keepin it vertical forever elevator-
Ridin the escalator to the somethin that is greater”

 

[NoHalfWay]

The man was gifted. Got classics for days

I assume most American listeners got put on by watching Samurai Champloo on those Saturday night Adult Swim/Toonami blocks

RIP Nujabes

I agree I remember 9th Wonder was talking about that term was just something that created to make them feel special.

[x-factor7]

RIP
Have to admit, I got into his music after he passed. He got too much dope shyt to name

 

[BlackDroog]

I've never heard of dude and I don't even know why i opened this thread but I'm glad i did. THis is the type of music I listen to when I read and write and most of the day at work.

Played a few of these tracks and I'm feeling it.

School Me Breh's...where should I start?

And is most of his stuff instrumental?

 

[That Singer Guy...]

R.I.P to a GOAT

Lady Brown is one of the greatest hiphop songs of all time.

 

[Mr Clean]

RIP

He wasn't about to stop anytime soon. We missed out on some classics
