My favorite thing about the video for this was that The Pharcyde hired a linguist to transcribe their lyrics for them to look like they were rapping to the music. He played the lyrics backwards and gave them phonetic pronunciations to use so their mouths would appear to line up with the song playing forwards. They spent days studying these new lyrics constantly to get it down. There's a good "making of" video of them practicing it.
My friends from the band Danny Wilson pioneered this concept on their video for "The Second Summer Of Love" back in 1989, 6 full years before Spike "had the idea". Credit where it's due, guys. th-cam.com/video/HJxIblwPKJE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PkTH1HiFHM-MY2Mc
I remember when the video for "Drop" premiered on MTV. The channel gave it a Buzz Clip rotation. This is notable because that was usually reserved for alternative rock bands.
This channel marches to its own beat, and this latest drop is no exception. Let us revere how Brandon does not merely scratch the surface but digs into music history to record the factors that make these tracks so iconic. He has a way of setting the right tone in his videos and strikes the right chords with music fans around the globe.
I’m nearing the end of Dilla Time (on audio book) having originally heard about it on your channel. Thank you so much for the recommendation, it’s a truly wonderful and insightful book and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. It’s so cool to learn so much more about one of my favorite artists and biggest inspirations.
It took me a whole journey to find this video. I saw a short about the sample then looked up the video it became a favorite song I never knew and then in the comments I saw something about this channel and I was like oh yeah let me go watch more fills videos and then I see my boy posted a video about my new favorite hidden gem. Can’t believe how blessed I am
This is deep. Thanks, i nooooooo body does it like you. I wish my best friend was alive to see this channel. He taught how to listen for samples. We would go to the record store and just nerd out. Its because of him i love hiphop on a different level. Thanks a again 👊🏿
Will sound odd, but you feel like you could ve the prototype of the big brother I always wished I had. Thanks for your amazing content and positive way of seeing and dissecting art.
I have been a Dilla fan since before I knew I was a Dilla fan ... lol yall know... but I am constatnly blown away by the depth of this cat. Its not that he was just a brilliant producer - cat was a CONCEPTUAL ARTIST! And in my experience SO deep - that even if you are unaware of the concept - you feel the 'weight' of that concept come through. THAT is ARTISTRY!
You forgot to mention that Mike D and Ad Rock also makes a cameo in the music video. Spike Jonze also did a couple of Beastie's Videos. The Connections runs even deeper 😋
Man, I love your videos. You put a lot of effort on every aspect of it that its always a joy when I receive a new video notification. Besides that, which software do you use to 'create' the videos? I plan to start a TH-cam channel and your content is my immediate reference.
Hey, since the "I dumb-i-fied my phone..." series dropped on my feed. I've been checking your channel and videos. I couldn't help but notice just how much you love your own music choices, and that passion for music is infectious. However I couldn't help but wonder why you haven't talked about one of my favorites artists. Jun Seba or as we all know him... Nujabes. I think his influence on the hip-hop genre is undeniable. And I would like to see your take on it. (Btw, this is literally my first comment on any yt video, great video.)
I actually didn’t believe Pharcyde were West coast when I first heard them. Their s-t was too cool and the production felt East coast to me. You know…BETTER!
NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE J DILLA COMMENTARY 🗣️🔥 also could you please cover Nujabes and his legacy of being one of the few producers that popularized chill hop.
got here through the ipod series. first time on your regular video type. speaking of the book you mentioned. got curious what other books are there in that shelf? is there a list somewhere or a book recommendations video?
You should have mentioned the label Delicious Vinyl because they pushed a very different kind of LA sound with artists like Young MC and even Tone Loc. They had some good years and was almost like what Def Jam was early on.
Love your channel man! I have a request... hopefully you read this and can get a video posted. J Dilla - Reckless Driving. I need to know how he made this greatness! Thanks
Great video, just check your focus, it is sharp in your hands but not so sharp in your face, love your videos, always very interesting, greetings from México!
You know what’s funny? I rewatched the “How I could Just Kill a Man” video (Cypress Hill) and realized they did the same backwards concept, way before this video.

Never apologize for covering more Dilla. Never. ❤
NEVER!!!!
Not Digging the Greats actually being outside lol!
It’s like when you see your teacher at the mall
😂
I hope he grabbed some dumplings while he was there.
HE'S BREAKING CONTAINMENT!
Your mom is tho

The amount of work that went into producing actually original stuff, it almost feels like a novel concept in 2024 lol
That's crazy. So much work on the details and I was like 15 just thinking "cool"

Intro segment is super impressive, great stuff
end part was cool too 😂😂
Probably fun to film too
one of my fav dilla beats love skating to it
yeah it has to be tony hawks, no doubt!
That intro was 🤯🔥. Great work!

Technically rap is alternative rock innit bruv?
@@m420-nd1ifDef could make the argument Pharcyde are alternative rap
@@m420-nd1if nope. Rap is alternative Funk. Hip Hop music's father is Funk.
@@m420-nd1ifI mean you could make the argument that Rock, Jazz, Punk, Funk, R&B, and Hip Hop are all Alternative Blues.

Still rewatching despite the reup. Good work!
The copyright police stepped in last minute haha
Nice to see Dorothy Ashby love. Her box set from last year is stellar.
Every time I hang out in downtown LA I always get reminded of this song when I pass by the alleys and buildings where the music video was filmed.

Thanks for the vid! One of my fav Dilla beats and one of my fav Pharcyde songs. Pasadena I see 👀
I bought this album and ATCQ BR&L the same day. I didn't know I was falling in love with Dilla.
It took me a whole journey to find this video. I saw a short about the sample then looked up the video it became a favorite song I never knew and then in the comments I saw something about this channel and I was like oh yeah let me go watch more fills videos and then I see my boy posted a video about my new favorite hidden gem.

😂😂. This was way too cool, Sensei. Just know we love here in Uganda(East Africa). Also, kindly never apologize for anything Dilla related.
Came to give my love now off to the longer Patreon version. Always up for extra Dilla.
Man I have always loved this song but never did any research on it. Never knew this was a Dilla beat!
I have been a Dilla fan since before I knew I was a Dilla fan ... lol yall know... but I am constatnly blown away by the depth of this cat.

Always here for more dilla videos 🙏
Didn’t Rick Rubin also produce T-La Rock “It’s Yours”? That probably why he sampled it for Beasties
it's incredible to hear you break down music into its component parts and introduce us to the magic of music 🎶🤗
And THANK YOU for hipping my to Dorothy Ashby ! Had no idea!
She is underrated!!
And proof Dilla stole this idea from him. Peep Dilla time.
You’re a genius! That’s a real drop of love coming off of your work ❤️❤️
Great video. Learned so much about the samples used!
My phone needs the Dilla Alarm
Best music video of all time, literally nothing compares to the originality
U always cover my fav albums, ly for that
THIS GON BE A CLASSIC, I CAN ALREADY TELL
When you talk about Dilla again, please mention that he also did R&B and things for non hip hop musicians like the Brand New Heavies
somtetimes...
I swear you have a fantastic voice for narration.
The intro is fire.
That intro was sick!!!
To focus on a different producer, I'll keep banging on about "Endroducing" by DJ Shadow. Such a pivotal producer album.
ALWAYS on my top ten albums list.
Mark ‘Gonz’ Gonzales cameo at the end of the Drop film clip doing the birds painting on the glass pane
I saw the notification come up, went to watch and could find it. Re-uploaded I'm guessing?
The copyright police tried to get me last minute haha
@@diggingthegreats dang © cops, they need to find a hobby and leave you alone.😆
I had the same issue at first lol!
Man, I love your videos. You put a lot of effort on every aspect of it that its always a joy when I receive a new video notification.
Besides that, which software do you use to 'create' the videos? I plan to start a TH-cam channel and your content is my immediate reference.
Love this song. J Dilla is my absolute favorite producer.
Amazing vid per usual… also my fave pharcyde song of all time
We need movie about Dilla! Greatest producer
I think Questlove is working on that based on the Dilla time book
I started to listen to dilla with Welcome 2 Detroit and Champion Soun, but Fantastic made me a fan
Went to see The Pharcyde, De La Soul and The Roots last week + Talib Kweli cameo. Superb gig (even with a thunderstorm)
Drop is my favourite video 👌
Ahhh, I wish I could’ve seen you moving around Downtown Pasadena! Would’ve been a treat.😂🔥
walking around backwards running into signs 😂
@@diggingthegreats 😭✊🏾
I swear I didn’t watch the first time. Long live Dilla!

Please break down Liquid Swords by GZA, such an incredible album with so much to break down in it.
If tune in for that.
Man Labcabin was such a soulful rap album. It didn't really have a focus, but the music was full of feelings and soul.
Nice tribute to the video in the intro!
NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE J DILLA COMMENTARY 🗣️🔥
also could you please cover Nujabes and his legacy of being one of the few producers that popularized chill hop.
I would die happy if he did a Nujabes video 😭
Thank you for talking about Dorothy Ashby
got here through the ipod series. first time on your regular video type. speaking of the book you mentioned. got curious what other books are there in that shelf? is there a list somewhere or a book recommendations video?
Lets go! This is why i am a subscriber! Keep up the good work
You should have mentioned the label Delicious Vinyl because they pushed a very different kind of LA sound with artists like Young MC and even Tone Loc. They had some good years and was almost like what Def Jam was early on.
Amazing video as usual
Fantastic job
Bro, you filmed that intro in Pasadena? I know that intersection all too well!
dangit, another Dilla shoutout? I click 🤣💯
The greatest beat ever in hip hop
Amazing thing we had no idea what J Dilla was producing for The Pharcyde
I believe they learned to spit their rhymes in reverse to.
I was like "why is he walking so weird" until I saw the cars driving backwards cool stuff!
R.I.P. J.D. !!
Pharsyde, Dilla and Spike Jones... Incredible time
You're a genius! TH-cam needs to push you more
This has been a mystery in hip hop for decades 🤯1 of the best and most creative music videos EVER
could listen to dilla discourse forever
A great video on a classic.
Dorothy Ashby mentioned 🗣
Love your channel man! I have a request... hopefully you read this and can get a video posted. J Dilla - Reckless Driving. I need to know how he made this greatness! Thanks
You have a new subscriber. Dope. 🙏🏿
Please cover more dilla I literally got into this because of dilla
Haha as soon as the video started I knew what you were doing, nice!
Drop is still my favorite music video
missed an opportunity to grab the book with your right hand as you walked off screen
RIP J DILLA ❤❤
Amazing intro!!!
Dope video. Long Live Dilla
Dilla again and again ❤
J Dilla is the greatest hip hop producer of all time. Talk about him more and more and more
Great video, just check your focus, it is sharp in your hands but not so sharp in your face, love your videos, always very interesting, greetings from México!
That intro 😂 is backward never😂
In Old Town? nice
have you covered Audio Two's "Top Billin" yet?
Good information for producers such as myself.
Goddamn I love this channel
I could be wrong but I remember in an interview that Fat Lip was pissed the beat was backwards. He wanted it forwards...
You cannot cover enough Dilla - I have read the book twice! How about Busta's "Still Shining' next??
You know what’s funny? I rewatched the “How I could Just Kill a Man” video (Cypress Hill) and realized they did the same backwards concept, way before this video.
And my mates in the band Danny Wilson did it before them all, back in 1989.

Anyone questioning the amount of dilla breakdowns is not for the people!
0:00 wait a minute. This looks very familiar. *squints to see street sign* ah, i figured
Yes 😊
I think Ad Rock is even in the video of this song on a BMX. The Spike Jonze connection...
That's Mike D, Adrock is the guy who walks past after that wearing sunglasses.
@@EddieG1888 spot on, thanks!
i love this song dope! ❤🥰🥰 drop!!!
Yerrrrrrrr, Digging in the Greats! Is it possible for you to remake the 1,2, Shit beat for me...?
Bizarreride was hard to top but LabCabin was that and then some
Dilla must really like The New Style
RIP Dilla (MidWest)
