Dilla Lives



In the spirit of clearing up the backlog of unfinished posts from the recent past, here's my weigh-in on J. Dilla's The Shining featuring an interview with the album's multi-talented executive producer Karriem Riggins who I snagged for a conversation just before he played Lollapalooza this past summer. Yeah, it was that long ago. To freshen things up a little, here's the decidedly abstract video for Dilla's "Nothing Like This" off the new Stones Throw/Adult Swim compilation Chrome Children.

P.S. Joey thoughtfully breaks down an unheralded Busta Rhymes/Dilla collaboration.
