Video:J Dilla's Vinyl Collection - Crate Diggers

J Dilla did not just change the game he touched the world with his music, I refer to him as the Basquiat of Hip-Hop. Some of the stories were amazing and very emotional, shoutout to J rocc for sharing! it must have been very hard for him. Checkout the crate diggers series HERE.

This is just something I feel everyone needs to listen to, the man like Talib Kweli (meaning student of truth and knowledge) speaking and teaching, he talks about a lot of things like;working at Nkiru Books in Brooklyn while in college, handing in KRS one lyrics as a school report, getting kicked out of school, the massive division between underground (concious) hip-hop and commercial hip-hop in the new generation of rappers, he talks about the importance of participating in hip-hop culture. he also talks about knowing puffy, his interview with 50 cent and how been tagged as a concious rapper can limit your artistry. I can't say it all so I suggest you click that play button and listen. THIS SHIT IS DEEP!!!!

"2 often we complain about hip-hop culture and we don’t participate in it, you cant complain about, u know,  stuff that’s on the radio if you are not calling up to the radio and voicing your opinion"    @TalibKweli.

This is not a new song, it was on the soundtrack for the movie "The Hurricane" starring Denzel Washington. If you haven't seen that yet you need to check it out, it's pretty awesome. Also you can watch questlove tell the story of how dilla made this beat at FROLAB. HAPPY NEW YEAR by the way.
