I would regard this as one of my top 5 favourite Dilla beats.

yeah I think so


and yeah love it here is too dope, smokey robinson sample

Man I love that shit but I prefer the Track 05 from Beat Tape 1/BEAT CD 05 #3 Track 5 instrumental one, vocals are slightly different.

That Erykah Badu track in your sig used to be one of my favorite Dilla beats.

[Ghost In The 'Lac]

Any chance you could link me up with Beat Tape #1 and #2?

Used to have those yeaeeerss back, lost them never found them again. thanks.

Thought about doing a torrent?

3 Beat Tapes is on there.

This one has a lot on there.

Peace

[TheFunkyDrummer]

The last torrent has some beats that aren't Dilla's like the Slum Village albums after Fantastic 2. weren't produced by Dilla on his own and there are some tributes on there and some mash ups with Lil Wayne and Jay-Z's Blueprint which I hate.

[claaa7]

it's so f'n great that all of these beat tapes are available to the public now.. there's so much dope shit to be heard on here, and many of them are designed to really listen to with intros and interludes and everything.

if i had to pick out one my favorite would probably be "Da 2nd Installment", lots of stuff that's been released but still a superior front-to-back listen. would that have been remastered in full quality and released with artwork and everything it would be considered his best posthumous release 4 sure.

the "Jay Dee Project", "Champion Sound (Rough Demos)" and "The Other Shit" are not really beat tapes. JD Project is a bunch of SV and JD solo demos, C.S. R.D. is a full album worth of Madlib over JD beats and "The Other Shit" is Pattch82's comp as previously mentioned.

i think you got all of the available stuff listed though, some of the ones i got are missing a lot of tracks (like listed "track 06" and the next might be "track 15"), i know one of them is the Slum Village Tour CD.

[claaa7]

also if you want to add stuff that was released after his passing:

"Jay Love Japan" (two versions)
"Yancey Brothers Instrumentals" [Illa J's album, mid-'90s beats by JD]
"DiLLaTroit" (exclusives and instrumentals of songs heard on "Rebirth of Detroit").

here's a 1996 beat tape called "What Up Doe".. if anyone got an mp3 rip of this, please PM me:

I have it. I'm not home right now but I'll upload it later. Stones Throw keeps deleting it.

[TheFunkyDrummer]

I have 64 beats as well (been searching for this for years, but finally got it 2 months ago) and Da 2nd Installment which is just a lot of Jaylib beats and beats for other projects.

What Up Doe Sessions

[claaa7]

I have 64 beats as well (been searching for this for years, but finally got it 2 months ago) and Da 2nd Installment which is just a lot of Jaylib beats and beats for other projects.

yeah please hook up "64 Beats" and "What Up Doe" if you can, super appreciated!!

there's a lot of beats that Madlib picked for the Jaylib album, true, and there's also much of the stuff Busta picked for his 2002 album, but there's also quite a few exclusives that's incredibly dope.. overall i think it's an amazing listen and the sound quality is better than many of the other beat tapes. "Da 2nd Installment" is to me the perfect balance between Dilla's heavy hitting Detroit style alá "Ruff Draft", "48 HRS", "Welcome 2 The D" and his sunnier, soul-dripping sound heard on "The Shining", "Jay Love Japan" and "Donuts".

i also love all the 2005 beat tapes series, there's 4 of them i think and if i remember right the best are 1 and 3 (the latter are also known as The Motown Tape).

[JASPER BEARDLY]

Anyone need anything besides claaa?

[JASPER BEARDLY]

does anyone have da first installment?

[TheFunkyDrummer]

yeah please hook up "64 Beats" and "What Up Doe" if you can, super appreciated!!


I thought I already gave What Up Doe in the previous page but here it is: http://www.2shared.com/file/DzF_SHSA/What_Up_Doe_Sessions.html

As for 64 Beats, I'll upload it asap.

@ JASPER

Da 1st Installment!

I love that album and it keeps getting better and better. I think he really tried doing a whole other style with his drums on this one. The drums have that electronic sound but the way he flipped them made it so amazing. Track 4, Track 8, Track 13, Track 19 & 20 are some of my favorites. I suggest you download this soon cause Stones Throw keeps deleting it, uploaded this album like 4 times.

[JASPER BEARDLY]

I am gonna make a list of every known beat tape he's made in circulation and all his posthumous works and all the projects people have put out in his honor (dunkin donuts w ag, the willy the kid ep with dilla beats, stuff like that)

i want all dillas shit haha

imma make that donuts w mcs too. just wanna track down a track with an mc for each song or for almost each song

[JASPER BEARDLY]

does anyone have a copy of sv tour beat cd that isn't super fucked up? mine has like 10 beats on it and they're all real random

[claaa7]

much thanks to you both!!!

the SV CD is the same for me, but i realized that the "Da 2nd Installment" that has 52 tracks is actually the SV Tour CD from track 26 to 40 or whatever + the last song.. basically all the tracks with alot of tape hiss. the real "Da 2nd Installment" was ripped from CD so it's easy to spot which is which, so just add those to your SV Tour folder.. still not the complete tape though

[TheFunkyDrummer]

Don't mention it. People should hear Dilla's great music and spread it. SV Tour is same to me actually. I have the 50+ tracks Da 2nd Installment and a 26 track one. The 26 track one is full of Jaylib and the 50+ has a lot of beats that are on other tapes as well. To be honest I think Dilla never really finished Da 2nd Installment. When you listen to Da 1st, all the beats have electronic drums or really weird crazy hi-hats that sound amazing. They all have that album feel but 2nd hasn't. It does have the intro which clearly says 2nd Installment but the way it ends it's kinda weird. It's all very random, it's like a compilation of beats he just made. I think most of it was for the Jaylib project and some for Busta and Q-Tip (he only used 1 for Renaissance I think)


@ JASPER

I have a lot of Dilla tapes, really a lot. I have a lot of beats like 12x cause a lot of the beat tapes have the same beats as other beat tapes. It's very frustrating actually even if it is the great Jay Dee but it's satisfying when you hear just 1 beat between all those albums.

You guys have MIX TRACKS, Pay Jay (Not same as Jay $tay Paid), Unreleased Dilla Beats and Unknown? I have them but like most tapes they're in a weird order. A lot of tapes when you download them also have names, there's just a guy who made up the name. The Beat Tapes never got names, just tracks. Some tapes aren't even made by Dilla they're just a bunch of tracks thrown together and someone decided to call it let's say MIX TRACKS.

it might be, but i think that whoever ripped it and put it up, got it mixed up.. if you take the 50+ version i think da real deal is the 25 first songs, plus the maybe ten last songs minus the ATCQ joint at the end which is clearly older.

however, i only think it sounds random to us because people used the beats as you say.. from interviews i read with people like Busta and ?uest i get the impression that Dilla would send out these "treats" (beat tapes) to his friends and artists that requested beats and they could pick from there. that's why i think it's more aquarate to say that Jaylib, Q-Tip and Busta uses beats originally found on "Da 2nd Installment", rather than the other way around.

Yes, Dilla used to do that all the time until 2001 cause he found out too many people were ripping his shit without permission. I think that was for BEAT CD's en the Tapes tho. 1st Installment was just a instrumental tape and I also think first 25 from 2nd Installment is for his projects but I knew like every beat on there. Dilla stopped the bootlegging by doing something with his beats. In some beats you can hear DILLA DILLA DILLA BEATS BEATS BEATS in the background. I don't think it really helped but maybe he did the same thing to 2nd Installment, cause you hear The New in a lot of tracks and in the official versions where it's used by artists like Jaylib and Q-Tip it didn't have The New in it all the time, maybe that was to stop bootlegging as well. Later on he did use it for Donuts in a great way.

one of the last things Dilla officially worked on was "Jay Love Japan" with OX Records. an EP i was always very intrigued by, but that never has been released as it was intended due to Dilla's passing.. but even with the material recordded and completed, that OX should own, they still haven't managed to release a real PROPER version of it (as much as i do love the semi-official one).

as you probably know there are two versions of "J.L.J."; the CD with the red and white cover and an unofficial vinyl. there's some differences in the tracklists between both. one of the main things is that the CD misses out on one of the finest pieces of the entire set, the Blu assisted "Sun in my Face" which was definitely intended for the project since it was featured (vocals and all) in a video EPK from OX promoting the then forthcoming project.

OsqzCOuRZ_Q

another cool thing i found out is that on "Da 2nd Installment", there's a banging beat that starts with a vocal sample saying "FEEL THE BEAT", it's track #8 and comes right after the "Say It" beat.. what's interesting about this is that the "Jay Love Japan" CD (the official version) lists a song called "Feel the Beat" but it does not actually appear on the actual disc. since there's some track from "J.L.J." on "Da 2nd Installment" i believe that this is the actual beat that was supposed to be on that EP in the order the back cover lists it. but it could also be track #8 from "Beat CD #2" (2005):

another piece of info i came across that was posted before the release was that "Jay Love Japan" would feature guest verses from Truth Hurts, Slum Village and Raekwon. the Truth Hurts joint is called "Ghetto Love" and is available on the bootleg, the Slum Village joint is probably the Baatin song, but maybe "Ason Unique" was actually recorded for J.L.J. considering that the "Believe in God" beat that Rae used for his ODB tribute was first given its official release on "J.L.J."... all in all, as much as i like "J.L.J." it feels so incomplete that it's the only official Dilla CD or LP i never bothered purchasing, but i have a strong feeling if it would have been handled with care and released as Dilla had intendended it, it would prolly have been mindblowing.

I knew most of the info and the little I didn't know was already on other beat tapes but thanks for the information. I agree with you Jay Loves Japan feels slightly incomplete. I think some of Dilla's masterpieces are on that album but sometimes it doesn't really fit with the artist and I remember in one Dilla tape from Fantastic demo's he's talking about Japan, think Dilla always thought of it as a great country.

Sun In My Face is Track 30 on Beat Tape #1. Nothing against Blu, but the instrumental Track 30 sound so much better than the one with a rapper over it. It's the perfect instrumental beat, the way he flips it looks like it's looped but when I tried to figure it out on the MPC I was amazed. Drums are nothing special for someone with Dilla's touch, but I think this one needs these kind of drums.
2jxZHmHccaA

Believe In God (There has been rapped over this beat by more than one artist but it's a very old beat and is very soulful) is the same as Track 22 on BT1.

xbEivpASY98
Mind blown when I heard this shit for the first time.

I don't have "Feel the Beat" on Jay Loves Japan but I do have it on another tape.

Jay Loves Japan was just a compilation of old unreleased (or released but never gained popularity) Dilla beats with rap vocals over them. It's a 4/5 album to me but it feels like you said incomplete.

Jay $tay Paid does feel complete in a way but I don't enjoy listen to it as much as listening to Jay Loves Japan cause JLJ simply had a lot of old masterpieces. Pete Rock did a great job tho.

The album which I absolutely hate and I'm glad Houseshoes (a big friend of Dilla and fellow Detroiters) said it's the worst project Jay was ever associated with is Rebirth Of Detroit. They asked him if he would help but he said no when he heard of the artists working on the project and disrespecting the legacy. It didn't sound like an album at all. They reused beats that were actually released on OFFICIAL albums and played a flute or a sax on it and put it on there. The only joint that is kind of unreleased and does add something is Detroit Madness by Phat Kat.

[quote]

true, that is one of my favorite Dilla beats probably.. or who the hell knows, he literally have several hundreds real bangers to choose from so haha. but i do love both. i think Blu did a good job though, and it worked really well as an outro piece.. instrumental or not that should have been on "J.L.J." for sure.

[quote]
Believe In God (There has been rapped over this beat by more than one artist but it's a very old beat and is very soulful) is the same as Track 22 on BT1.

true, many people have rapped on it.. but since Raekwon was supposed to be featured on "Jay Love Japan" at one point, and this is the only beat from those sessions we knew he rhymed over i think it's a slight possibility that "Ason Unique" might have been done for J.L.J. but maybe Rae felt it too personal and wanted to keep it for CL2.. who knows, fantastic beat, fantastic song (Rae's version)

I don't have "Feel the Beat" on Jay Loves Japan but I do have it on another tape.

yeah "Feel the Beat" never made it to any version of J.L.J. for some reason, despite it being listed as appearing after "Believe in God". probably a miss in the final stages of the pressing.. but do you think that the one intended is the one from Beat Tape 2 (2005) track #8 or "Da 2nd Installment" track #8. could really be either one.

Jay Loves Japan was just a compilation of old unreleased (or released but never gained popularity) Dilla beats with rap vocals over them. It's a 4/5 album to me but it feels like you said incomplete.

i wouldn't call J.L.J. a compilation, it was an official project that Dilla was working on for quite some time that got caught up in label politics. i don't think i heard any of the material elsewhere before 2005 (i don't count beat tapes as those are really not meant for the public to hear, although i'm glad as hell we are able to :D

Jay $tay Paid does feel complete in a way but I don't enjoy listen to it as much as listening to Jay Loves Japan cause JLJ simply had a lot of old masterpieces. Pete Rock did a great job tho.

co-sign, i absolutely love "Jay $tay Paid", i bought that on the day of release. two of my favorite artists, fantasticly put together, dope guests and superior beats all around.. i just couldn't understand people complaining about most of the beats having been released, or rather leaked, before. that makes no sense to me, considering they were not supposed to be out for the public to hear.. there's a few exceptions though, like the "Ma Dukes" beat (Frank-N-Dank), "Hip Hop Quotable" (AG) and maybe a few others but i don't think it dragged it down one bit... the Lil' Fame track is some of the sickest shit i've heard in a long, long time too.

The album which I absolutely hate and I'm glad Houseshoes (a big friend of Dilla and fellow Detroiters) said it's the worst project Jay was ever associated with is Rebirth Of Detroit. They asked him if he would help but he said no when he heard of the artists working on the project and disrespecting the legacy. It didn't sound like an album at all. They reused beats that were actually released on OFFICIAL albums and played a flute or a sax on it and put it on there. The only joint that is kind of unreleased and does add something is Detroit Madness by Phat Kat.

i thought "Rebirth" was ok, i didn't have a problem with the beats, and the joints with the sax over Dilla was great imo, that was actually the legend from The Black Byrds playing. what i did not like about it was as you say it doesn't flow well at all, there might be two bangers followed by three real weak headache joints and there's a lot of wack emcees on there. i bought it just for the collection bc there are some really good shit on there though, and most of the beats are stuff i can't get on any official mastered CD or LP anyways.. should have been a lot better though, and that Jonathan Taylor seems to be a shady character as hell.


Also y'all need to check this shit out, is one of my fav Dilla joints at the moment. The way he flipped this one:

HELL YEAH!!!!! I always put on this joint when i have peeps over, and no one has heard it but everyone i've played it for are equally mindblown.. i love the vocal version the best, but the instrumental is of course the work of a genius.. gotta love the Ghost Weed skit with Dilla too hahhahaha.. Dilla and De La Soul was not to be fucked with, "Verbal Clap" is another monster

another interesting thing is that i have a 62 beats Madlib beat tape from 2005, which actually includes the beat for the Jay Dee/Madlib/Guilty Simspon collabo "Baby" that appeared on Dilla's "The Shining". it's not exactly the same, but the very foundation of it are definitely there, so it seems Dilla was more a co-producer for that song (both are credited as having equal input in the booklet).

true, many people have rapped on it.. but since Raekwon was supposed to be featured on "Jay Love Japan" at one point, and this is the only beat from those sessions we knew he rhymed over i think it's a slight possibility that "Ason Unique" might have been done for J.L.J. but maybe Rae felt it too personal and wanted to keep it for CL2.. who knows, fantastic beat, fantastic song (Rae's version)
I think this may be true as well. It's a bonus on Cl2 so it's not like he ripped it or anything even if it was official for JLJ.

yeah "Feel the Beat" never made it to any version of J.L.J. for some reason, despite it being listed as appearing after "Believe in God". probably a miss in the final stages of the pressing.. but do you think that the one intended is the one from Beat Tape 2 (2005) track #8 or "Da 2nd Installment" track #8. could really be either one.
Like you I don't have a clue. I think Dilla just made his beats and he had like slightly different versions (I have some) and he was sending these to labels and friends but honestly if it was up to me the BT2 one. Both aren't mixed if I'm not mistaken. The Dilla MCA album never came out as well but I figured that a lot of the tracks on that album, if not all has already been leaked because of the tapes.

HELL YEAH!!!!! I always put on this joint when i have peeps over, and no one has heard it but everyone i've played it for are equally mindblown.. i love the vocal version the best, but the instrumental is of course the work of a genius.. gotta love the Ghost Weed skit with Dilla too hahhahaha.. Dilla and De La Soul was not to be fucked with, "Verbal Clap" is another monster
O man I'm so glad someone agrees with me on this one. The thing is I was always amazed by this beat cause I listened to the original version with De La and B-Real on it but I didn't notice the small but very important details in the beat like the background. Again these drums have some hypnotizing shit and the way the beat switches with "Blow your Mind" in it, seriously my mind was blown. Verbal Clap is my shit, just the sound and that Rick Wakeman sample playing thru the beat just crazy. You know people always notice Stakes Is High which is an amazing beat, seriously used to be my top 3 Dilla beats but they don't give proper credit to Verbal Clap or Peer Pressure or also Shopping Bags (Madlib beat but still, listen to the instrumental, I think the chorus is extremely corny and ruins the song). I think it's because De La didn't make as good music as before so people automatically think their beats are shit as well but AOI series and Grind Date had great beats. It's still funny when I think about how Madlib did Shopping Bags, the way he programmed the drums and used bottles or glasses lol.

I have 62 Beats as well. You know they used to give credit to Dilla for that beat but it was Madlib's all along, nothing in it sounds like Dilla even if it great. It's just the same beat, maybe better mixed, nothing else. You're right, it's a Madlib beat. A lot of Madlib beats in 2011 and 2012 are from 62 Beats which is funny since he made it during 2000-2003

Another extremely underrated and even by his hardcore fans unknown Dilla beat:

OC6Z9iQWSgU

Dilla used this on his tape as the intro, he was just playing when he made such a masterpiece and then he starts playing the 2nd half of the original is bad cause he was just pressing buttons there lol that's exactly like Waajeed said in the ST 2008 interview Dilla sometimes would just do wack shit on purpose and then get inspired to make new beats.

Anyway I looped up the intro from Flying Voices on my MPC3000 so if anyone needs it, I'll upload it. It's a WAV file tho.

HollowDartz is going to say that the same person is talking to himself so you better not reply on my comments anymore

lol I'm just playing.

I don't know man it's just I think so many Dilla beats are contenders for his greatest beats like it started with "Runnin", "Reminisce" and "Find A Way" but then I heard all the Beattapes stuff. Everything is just amazing, seriously all the beat tapes that were never released have masterpieces on them. Never heard a Dilla beat that was less than great. I'm not joking.

[TheFunkyDrummer]

It's such a shame he never got the recognition he deserved when he was still alive. I couldn't get into his music when he was still alive simply cause I was too young and was still listening to commercial rap and some rock. He has a lot of fans, ghostfans however you wanna call it right now. More and more people know of J Dilla, but most of them only know him from Donuts which is a shame.

Why not make this a Dilla thread instead of a Dilla tapes thread? Just helping out
