If you haven't cried listening to a Dilla beat then you haven't lived, it's just so beautiful

i feel so comfortable commenting here knowing that im between people who listen to real rap/hiphop , damn big shout-out to y'all

When Dilla died I was only 17. I didn't really understand his influence back then. I'm 34 now and it's sad to think he died at only 32y/o. I also lost a friend to Lupus and she was only 25 and before she died, she half joked about wanting Dilla played at her funeral. Her favorite song was "So Far to Go" so we started listening to it in the car on the way there and just bawled our eyes out, but because the song is sexual, we were like cry-laughing, you know what I mean? Anyway, she's the reason that I'm brought here and why I continue to listen to this song every now and then. I feel all kinds of shit listening to this -- it's sexy, it makes me sad, it makes me laugh. Reminds me of her.

J Dilla isn't dead, just hit play.

I must say folks, IF YOU BRINGIN THIS INTO 2021, YOU ARE SPIRITUALLY BLESSED FOR LIFE ! ITS THE AGE OF MANIFESTATION! MAKE YOUR LIFE AS BLISSFUL AS THIS MASTERPIECE DILLA PROVIDED FOR US !! CARRY ON ✍🏽💯

This song is perfection. Common and D'Angelo were worthy of this beat. It couldn't just go to any run of the mill rapper. This had to go to someone with the right paint brush. 🎨

First dance wedding song for the wife and I was to this tune.

The Picasso of beats

This song is from Heaven

J Dilla wasn't human. He didn't die. He went back home to his planet🌠👽

Dilla and Nujabes best producers of all time

Timeless. I listen to this at least once a day and I never get tired of it. This shit keeps me grounded while also letting me dream and imagine all of the possibilities life has available.

I don't know why but I shed a tear every time I listen to this song especially with the instrumental playing by itself.

this is what love sounds like

Def the best producer and he was just getting warmed up. Rest in Beats Dilla.

You ever hear a song that's so amazing that when you close your eyes you take off? That's this song.

Namjoon..💙

This is one of those songs that have become unlistenable to me because of how absolutely heart-shatteringly beautiful and sentimental it sounds. I feel like bursting into tears everytime I hear it and I typically just end up thinking about my mom in the sense that she's always motivated me which reminisces with the title of the song. I get positive childhood images all over in my head because the beat is so soft and innocent as well On one hand I wish I didn't have to feel like this since it lowkey hurts, but there's also obviously a beauty in it. J. Dilla is one of the few people I'll genuinely call talented without any second thoughts Edit: I did completely burst into tears in perhaps my most real cry of all time briefly after writing this

Who still banging in 2019?

Listening to this is like seeing a new color that's so hard to describe to others without having them see it themselves.

“It’s synchronicity at raw, and this is what I came here for.” This song is eternal.

Love that vinyl hiss too

No one can replicate J Dilla's instrumentals, especially his drums.

was at the barbershop and this was playing...wish y'all could have seen the way everybody was just in to this song!! my new shit!!!

This beat makes me feel like what heaven might feel like. RIP DILLA

it's 2016 and still feels like J Dilla never died...maybe he didn't. Maybe this Music immortalized him.

2022 still here ..what a masterpiece❤

Happy 40th birthday, Dilla. Rest in piece.

D'Angelo and J Dilla are the dopest.

Lets go 2023 prayin for better days

This is fried chicken in frying and and collard greens boiling hip hop soul.

I want to play this at my funeral because I want to let people know I'm always still here.

Dilla's friends from the L.A.-based indie label Stones Throw came to visit and brought him a Boss SP-303 sampler and a small 45 record player so he could make music while in the hospital. Dilla completed 29 of the 31 songs on Donuts while still in the hospital. - Credible Sources

Phife and Dilla producing beats up there. RIP

😣😣 this song always hits my soul!! you gta love black soul music 😭

"...hardcore gentleness..." sums it up quite nicely 💜🎵💃🎵💜

This is the song I imagine would be played as you ascend into heaven. Only to be greeted by Dilla and his MPC at the gates. As if fate knew you still have so far to go from the gates on.

J. Dilla, Common, and D'Angelo.. truly Gifted!! 💕

Never heard of J Dilla before. And this got me introduced to him. RIP.

One of the smoothest and biggest slept on joints in hip hop history!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

what the fuck, how come I feel basically every one of these beats are better quality than nearly every other beat out there.... Makes you actually think wtf is everyone else doing when you listen to the completeness of J Dilla, RIP your talent will be missed.

J Dilla left a mark in my heart. Best producer ever!

R.I.P. James Yancey(AKA Jay Dee or J Dilla), one of the best hip-hop producers of all time.

And because of your innocence, even more you'll remember this, hardcore gentleness (;

It's a wonderful song, masterpiece. Once you listen to it, you will never forget it. R.I.P Master J Dilla

From 0:00 to 0:45 has been my ringtone for a little bit over 6 years. People still ask me to this day what song it is.

One of the best beats ever produced. Plus common and D’Angelo are a perfect for this beat. R.I.P dilla ✊🏽

taking this right through 2023

grew up with this type hip hop since 5 years old. j dilla is right there with Nujabes and Pete Rock. i wish i could shake dillas hand. he changed my life, tears running down. love you hip hop. always keep it real.

이게 그 성우가 1년동안 찾던 노래...두란두란ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ계속 그렇게 들린다ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ도대체 어떻게 찾은 거앜ㅋㅋㅋ

Came for the Beat, Stayed for the Lyrics! ❤️😋💍😍

I love the fact that all the comments in this video are about love or at least positive 🙏 Rest in beats Jay Dee ✨

This song touches the deepest parts of every person's heart ❤️💖

That piano melody at 4:47 so beautiful 🥺🎶 Brings tears to my eyes

Still the sound of summer for me

The way Dilla flipped “Don’t Say Goodnight” was so futuristic. Dilla was different

To all the young cats, THIS is what real Hip Hop is. Not that garbage y’all puttin out today. To all my old heads bumpin this like we in a Regal sittin on trues and vogues with 2- 12’s in the trunk and a Alpine deck. Keep rockin y’all. Dilla will always get play over here.

can't be the only one who will smoke a blunt and play this song this song is perrrffff ❤

This beat makes me imagine what "J" was feeling when he created this piece. Wow geniuses creating melodies... why is it that too few are doing this anymore? I miss Dilla and the "Old" (genius) Kanye West. Feels like they are both deceased and gone. Jay D from blood/heart disease and Kanye from complications due to fame and Kardashian Cancer...both life ending diseases. R.I.P to both.

Isley Brothers Don't Say Goodnight...beautiful sample! Love this song, Rip JDilla...

日本からもコメント失礼します🇯🇵 J Dilla、ありがとう🙏

I looked and looked but I couldn't find this vinyl in the wild, I decided to do a Record Store Day up in Cleveland. I had never been there or to the store. I found this album and made some really good friends. Thank you J-Dilla your music is still bring people together in 2022.....❤✊🏾🔥 Long Live Real Hip-Hop🎤🔥

RIP Rudolph Isley. Your legacy will live on throughout this song 🙏🏽🕊 Rest In Beats, Dilla 🙏🏽🕊

Went to Dilla's Donuts a few years back in the D. His Uncle Herm ran it and he was one of the coolest dudes I have ever met. Had a lot of good stories about his nephew. Long live Dilla. Your beats are eternal!

Dilla, common, d angelo .

If I'm ever with a girl that hated this track... The relationship would be over...lol

One of my all time favorite Dilla tracks. I could listen to this song over and over..

J Dilla changed my life

RM💜

Just listening to this song makes me happy and sad. Wow

YEAH HE WAS COLD ASF FOR THIS ISLEY'S "DONT SAY GOODNIGHT" SAMPLE!!!!!!!

Raise my son on Dilla, and now all he asks is to play dilla

soft wet brow sugar mixed with cinnamon. they say I'm conscious yea I use my head.!!!! am I the only woman turned on by Commons lyrics?! omg

This is one Dilla's best

Smooth track, respect 💪.

RM recommended it

Tears at my heart strings and warms my soul

Every single time I listen to this, I realize perfection exists. This Dilla beat, Common voicing the lyrics, and D'Angelo on the hook are the perfect combination. I can put this on repeat and be content.

roll a fat one, tune this on, forget shits for a while, you're okay. you're golden.

this sample is sick, isley brothers - only justt clocked it

I could blaze to this all day

Always reminds me to stay humble. Blessed song

Poetry On Steroids on thee Heavenly gemstone of a Track. God given musical genius...RIP J Dilla.

Where is rm fans ? 💖

Let go and let me live in side you/what your mouth don't say your thighs do... Fireeee Combine that with insane vocals and production = magic

One of the most beautiful creations of all time!!!! Dilla is the GOAT!!! And a dream collab with D'Angelo and Common to bless us all on a track!!💯💯🎶 🎶 🎶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nas, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and Black Thought with J Dilla, Pete Rock, Kev Brown, 9th Wonder and Hi-Tek. God's of poetry.

It's one of those songs you feel nostalgic and you don't know why.

There was a thunderstorm about 10 min ago. Then I walked outside and the clouds are moving and the sun is starting to shine. Kentucky weather at its finest. It is such a beautiful day watching the clouds part to make a window in the sky. fuckinh love this track

man this does something to my soul.....

Classic. Rest easy king. 🙏🏽🕊

I heard this in my dream just before I woke up

Recently peeped the Isley Bros sample Don’t Say Goodnight

so dope. no one can touch Dilla. the best at what he did. RIP.

d angelo + j dilla +common= perfection

one of the greatest tunes of all time
