Mo money means mo money needed to spend Just to soften the blow
Smiles pretended
But on the other side theirs a soul
Waiting to squeeze the trigger
The ones to kill ya be the 1 started with ya in the beginning
Thatβs why I ride my own Waves
Circle small Only my shadow when itβs gone I can say left Me feeling betrayed
Wolfs amongst many
Disguised teeth
They come off so friendly
But strategize the moment to settle in the Bite
Itβs crazy cause they wait till you at your weakest outside the success to Strikeβ¦

I remember the Late school nights, watching adult swim past my bedtime...hearing this...the nostalgia hits me like a ton of bricks. Didn't know Dilla produced the beat until just recently, Rest in Power.
Mac
This sounds like something that would be on adult swim. Damn. Thats dope to know Tho that adult swim had j dilla
Cameron Bulanda
I remember this as well. Back when adult swim played this I was too young to understand what genre or artist created this, to me it was just βadult swim musicβ and influenced me a lot. It wasnβt until I really started to explore my tastes in music that I found this song and learned who Dilla was. What an amazing artist he was. RIP

@renegade_legend Adult Swim plays Raymond Scott in between shows sometimes. And Dilla sampled Lightworks by Raven Scott. But so nasty to make them say role up them splits

@Hunter La Croix Nah dude, that's just loops, sometimes producers leave a sample as it is without chopping it. Marlin does it a lot
Jason Ward
People say it's overrated because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. This album is masterful.
tsea
People are forgetting the fact that he made this album on his deathbed
Hunter La Croix
One reason people say this album is overrated is due to the sampling. J Dilla had some very creative sampling techniques in his hip-hop works, but some area's fall flat on this album. Rather then chopping up and using a sample in a great way, it will just play normally in a song, the worst offender being "Stop". But songs like this one have some very creative sampling (If you hear the original, you would know what I mean) and even if some of it is counterintuitive, it is still a very soulful, legendary album.

I just heard the original sample and this... i had heard donuts for the first time last week, and I liked it quite a lot, it was an 8 for me. but now, with the context of how he made it, and now knowing this flip... im just astonished, Dilla is the purest musician ever, just a lover of it. im fucking crying. rip Dilla, rip jun.

I just started producing, and my god I appreciate this trach way more.
I have no idea how he extends certain portion of the sample (like at 0:05 an 0:10)
simply amazing
Asdrubal Alvarenga
I remember first hearing this song, I would hear the vocals as "Shining throougghhh" until I looked it up the noticed the "Johnny do it" (which on the original song is "Jonny DON'T do it--so it's like he triple flipped the sample or something. Fucking insane how good this dude was.
Tom Berkley
timestretching can sound kinda ugly if you stretch it too far or if you don't blend it. I think what he did was just sampled a small almost homogenous middle segment of the vocal sample where the vocalist is holding the note and repeats it. Maybe a little stretching and blending with effects but i think i can hear it looping. Either way works but timestretch can leave it sounding kinda more hollow computerized robotic or distorted
Nic
it's called timestretching. can easily be done nowadays on say ableton etc. you should def. try it out if you've started producing!

I listen to Qusimoto, madlib (same guy, i know.), and MF Doom, and ha always heard the name J dilla being passed around, plus i had listened to the heist by him as well, so i finally decided to check him out. I THOUGHT i had never heard him, but boy oh boy was i wrong. when this song started every time i stayed up late at a friends house, or by my self in the living room sitting in front of the glow of a tv as adult swim was airing some ridiculous show that i probably didn't get the jokes to and probably scared me, or the occasional plastic scenery in the background with a chilled out beat i had never heard before playing in the background, came back to me. fuckin nostalgia...

I had similar intro to Dilla, through listening to Madlib. Bought Mind Fusion, vol. 1 in Japan back in 2005 and I was hooked! With all the track references, I fell upon "The Rough Drafts" and the rest is history.

back in like o6 when I was a chitlin I heard this on adult swim and thought this was the most amazing thing I ever heard, back then I was horribly hatefull, Christian and racist but I heard this and was instantly in love 9 years later I would figure out what the song is and now j dilla is one of my favorite producers and it leaves a warm place in my every time

Adult swim is so original. I remember being young and so obsessed with it. I would watch it constantly. I would browse their site every day and play games and watch videos. I loved pretty much every thing on it because I was easily entertained at the time. I started watching around 2005 and stop caring about it so much about it in late 2010. I had never seen anything like it..Then they changed their style and I don't like it. But that's just me. I like a few shows now though.
Jean-Claude Van Damme
@matt williams I was 18-19 when they started playing this bump. But the first time I saw Adult Swim -- the Dr. Weird years of ATHF -- was, yeah, like nothing I'd ever seen.
"Waves" is the song I immediately think of when someone mentions Adult Swim. It's an incredible piece of music.
