…ist leider so schlecht gebunden, dass es beim erstmaligen Lesen auseinander fällt.

The book explores what made Dillas beats sound different in a clear visual way while also telling the life story of the famous producer. J Dillas method of not sticking to a rigid quantised time structure, letting various parts go in and out of sync in between 4 or 8 bar points is at this point a meme, but You can still learn so much from this book beyond wether to make Your snares rush/lag a bit or hi-hats swing. There's more to it and the book goes way deeper than what You've probably already picked up from countless videos on the subject. Well written, very well informed and probably the most thorough study of Jay Dees work and methods.

Huge Dilla fan here since 90s pharcyde and tribe days and not going to lie, had apprehension on how the life of Dilla would be described by Dan Charnas and if there was any clout-chasing by the author. I'm an absolute fan of him now with also the utmost respect for his journalistic integrity and understanding the scope and endeavor he undertook to describe someone such as Dilla, which could be quite sensitive for many fans such as myself having seen during his time and influence to not get credit, appreciation, etc until he was long gone and have now become trendy to be a fan.Dan did an amazing job in all angles. Describing the life, breaking down his style technically with music theort, and being critical of dilla as well where warranted with all fairness and objectivity.Finished this book in basically two sitting as I could not stop. Reading it just brought me back to my high school and college years and all the details within the book just helped complete the picture of stories I was already aware of during those days as fan of his music and sound. Dan did not shy away from critique where it warranted, where many authors may romanticize a subject. Dan was absolutely fair and consistent and even critical of Ma Dukes with appropriate context. It all makes the objectivity of the book even more compelling. All items I recall, growing up during those times were consistent as well, with the much more detail and color Dan brought helping bring much more clarity for me and the background story of many of these things I recalled and why Dilla made those decisions at the time.Dan also being a music journalist as well as I believe a record scout, also brought a great music theory ability to break down the music at a interesting technical level on what made dilla unique and where we also see many of the musicians after dilla were influenced and where current music has been influenced.I definitely found myself many times in reading the book, to pull up these tracks he was describing to listen to it in his way of breaking it down to bring even more color to many of these songs I've had on constant rotation for years.I have such great appreciation to the author for doing this book and dilla's legacy such incredible justice and beyond just any basic romanticized biography.

J Dilla es de aquellos artistas cuya corta, pero productiva vida, deja una impronta en quienes entendemos y apreciamos su arte. Con este libro uno solidifica esa pasión en verdadero amor por su persona y trabajo, testificado por las personas cercanas que lo rodearon en su vida.Además, el libro no sólo habla de su vida, sino de temas teóricos tanto de la ciudad de Detroit, musicales, como el síncope y el swing y la influencia que nos dejó J Dilla en la música para la posteridad.Increíble libro y completamente recomendado tanto para seguidores como interesados en la música.

Curioso análisis del sonido de Dilla a modo gráfico y comparativo con su entorno y su ciudad, Detroit. Había que tenerlo sí o sí.
