Watched parts 2 & 3. I'm very receptive to most of her talking points - EXCELLENCY.

Very few, I rejected as I had a visceral reaction and I accept it [my feelings/thoughts].

One point she made, I bucked & rationalized and actually went to watch Malcolm X to get reinforcement/comfort, lol -


Then something in the pit of of stomach said 'Are you going to be defensive or right...
Be still, go back & listen. You can learn a lot - Even if it is what not to do.'

TYFS.

The intro of this is Godly!! :damn: @stomachlines





All I can say is WOW! :wow:

Man, the way he sampled that joint is amazing :ohlawd:


Dilla's drums were GOAT. They always had that perfect amount knock to em' but he knew how to space it out without it flooding the whole song out.

It's hard to explain, but his drums didn't overcompensate for bass.

Why are people so insecure in themselves or overthink shyt? It's always the beautiful ones with some issues.


Many times "beautiful" people are done a disservice as in many instances they haven't had to develope real substance. Their beauty is valued above all else and grants them favoritism/preferential treatment/esteemed w/very high regards, etc.
On the flip side, the same ones who admire the beauty are the very same ones who are trying hard to see flaws, dismantle it, looking for the chink in her armor so-to-speak. Mostly other women are quilty of this but men are catching up.

If a "beautiful" woman gets reinforcements from childhood that her beauty is the best thing about her (and she's lacking real substance) then you will see the insecurities manifest.

Nothing worse than women who skate by in life only based their looks because at some point in life reality will eventually teach them a harsh lesson.

Ever heard this? I guess this is one of the beats Questlove was talking about where Dilla flipped the same joints as Premier.:wow: Apperrently they'res an whole tape of him sampling joint Pete Rock and Premier did first.



Naw, i'd never heard this Kilo joint before

But i do remember either hearing or reading somewhere how he would use Pete Rock and Premier beats basically as guides when he first started producing.

Their influence is all throughout his music; the soulfuless of Pete Rock's beats is in his beats and the way he chopped samples reminds me of how Premier do.

Dilla's drums hit harder than Pete's tho

Yep. Hopefully, by then she won't want the same things [superficial] that beauty affords her.

I’m sad thinking about my best friend that was abused by his foster parents when I was a kid. They dogged him out. Made fun of his dark skin. Hit on him and sent him back. I ain’t been the same since we sat on the curb crying together as they took him away

I hope he winning somewhere
