J Dilla The Diary Of J Dilla - Purple Marble & Orange Marble Vinyl UK 2-LP vinyl record set (Double LP Album)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
The idea of a non-radio friendly hip-hop album with a producer rapping over other producers' beats was unprecedented, but perhaps on par with J Dilla's restless, innate desire to freak out the industry. He wasn't entirely opposed to big names, reaching out to rappers like Snoop Dogg and Fabolous for verses but, as his influence grew, he needed to find a balance between being innovative and staying true to the craft. He also became subject to other producers cribbing his sound, which led to chameleon-like shifts in his production style throughout his career.
Rapping, however, was the one thing that 99 percent of the producer competition couldn't do. You can bite a producer's style but, as a producer, can you rap? Most can't and, as an MC, Dilla was rhythmically one of the best producers on the microphone, treating words the same way he treated musical notes.
The Diary is undeniably the result of the iconic producer's singular, unhampered vision, and is finally presented in its final form. "I'm just glad that it's a version coming out that can stand behind his name, besides what the bootleggers have done," says Dilla's mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey. For Dilla's collaborators, friends and family alike, The Diary is the last piece of an enigmatic puzzle. - Ronnie Reese, original liner notes author
