Robert Glasper - 'Dillalude 3'
Grammy-winning pianist/jazz musician/producer Robert Glasper put together a beautiful new tribute entitled 'Dillalude 3' that will be featured on his upcoming album. Glasper had the following words to say about Jay Dee...
So when I met Dilla, the first thing I asked him was 'Where'd you get "Still Shining?'" which was a song he did for Busta Rhymes, which is one of my favorite hip-hop beats of all time. Actually, it's my favorite hip-hop beat of all time. He literally pulled out the record and showed me what he did and how he did it right there. He was a very sharing kinda dude, you know you asked him a question and he'd tell you exactly how he did it.
