Last week, the Smithsonian announced two of J Dilla's production tools would be displayed at the upcoming National Museum of African American History and Culture. Thanks to a donation from his mother (pictured above), the influential artist/producer's custom Minimoog Voyager and Akai Music Production Center (MPC) 3000 Limited Edition will be part of a collection that aims "to explore how popular music helped shape the nation's history and culture politically and socially." Before passing away in 2006, J Dilla worked with A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots, The Pharcyde and many more, creating unique sounds for each in addition to his own solo work. "Everyone who pays attention to hip-hop has heard J Dilla's work whether they realize it or not," said Timothy Ann Burnside, the museum's popular music historian. "In the very demanding world of hip-hop producers, he was one of the busiest and most sought-after." When the museum opens in 2016, Dilla's instruments will be included in the "Musical Crossroads" exhibit -- one of the venue's 11 inaugural collections. If you're unfamiliar with his work, there's a brief introductory Spotify playlist from our Engadget channel just after the break.

Greatest rap movement ever. :blessed:

Lately ive been falling more and more out of touch with hiphop. I almost strictly listen to Caribbean joints now (konpa, calypso, zouk-retro). Seems like it's the only rap movement i can still relate to and listen to.

Is there a mixtape of all this somewhere


:whew:
What i want is a siruis xm radio station that just plays neo soul music. Even if i play a station that is just early 2000s late 90s hip hop, they'll have stuff like lil Scrappy and Mims in there.
Trying to feel like i'm listening to grown folks hiphop now.
