“Another nice one. Playful vibe with an old skool female rap sample, light guitar stabs and some reverse sounding vocals easing in and out.. ”

“Yeah. Some dark spacey synth and samples hybrid the way J could pull of so well. Thick and with his characteristic extremely lazily timed drum shuffle. Would love to hear Rakim on this..”

“DOOM (MF Doom) and J Dilla collaboration. Sure to leap off the turntable.”

“Slowmid rumbling track, really lofi sounding with some percussive key stabs and a vocal snippet every now and then. Could've fitted well on Ruff Draft.”

“Black Thought from the Roots raps over Jay Dee beats.”

Album: Jay Stay Paid
Artist: J Dilla
“Steady bouncing electronic funkiness with some mysterious sounding vocals on the hook. You'd have a be really bad mc not to turn this into a great song.”

“Classic Dilla - he suddenly chops an upbeat synth soul track into something slower and grimier, fragments of the original's prettiness clashing in the best way with the beats. Nice.”

Track: Make It Fast Mega Mix (Unadulterated Mix) (feat. Diz Gibran)

“Part 1 is a soulful but spare instrumental beat. On part 2 Dilla drops some underwater funk. MC Diz, sounding a bit like a younger brother (or maybe: son?) of Lord Finesse, delivers clever, confident and sharp rhymes over this understated beat, again with some really cool female vocals on the hook.. (J'Davey??). Oh and part 3 is the one and only DJ PRemier talking about Dilla, stating the dictionary needs new words to come clsoe to describe the man's music, like "astronomicalnomicanomical"!!! Nod and smile.”

“Slick and a touch creepy, with slow-mo electro beats and synth arpeggios. Reminiscent of stuff like 'Lightworks' off Donuts and his crazy remix of Daft Punk.
It's natural to suspect post-humous compilations as just being filler (filla?) but this is... good.”
