?uestlove tells a story about Jay Dee (J-Dilla)

There was a small airport in Detroit that had direct flights to jersey and NYC that me and Com(Common) use to take so much i swear they were gonna offer us stock in the business. it was early 1999 and this was before the jet blueitization of America. matter of fact, America looked down on those small companies after one of them crashed some months before. now we take that shit like its no thing.

Anywho, we got word of a blizzard that was coming to the D and Com wanted to take no risks and wanted to leave asap so he could make a show. so that left me Dilla and frank of frank n dank.

i decided to stick to my normal schedule and stay til monday when i was scheduled to leave.
Com decides to take the Sunday afternoon jawn on the fly. of course i say he's overreacting and I'm proven wrong once there was about 7 inches on the floor a few hours later. frank nitty laughs at me cause now im stuck in the D. we actually make the most of it. ran to blockbuster to stock up on flicks (Detroit is the only place on earth street cats will let prince get away with murder so it was nice to rent under the cherry moon without cringing in front of non prince experts. we also rented my new favorite film of all B films Hav Plenty. stocked up on food. and for the first time ever just chilled for 2 days without the prime motivation being "work". but of course that dont mean Dilla didn't provide me with the most amazing display of workmanship ive ever seen.

i mean i knew dude was the crazy when skillz let me hear a beat tape.

and i knew dude wasn't right when booty brown played me a precabincalifornia.

and i knew i wouldn't be the same when dangleo and tip played me the ENTIRE fantastic cassette over the phone LONG DISTANCE to germany (my bill was $382 bucks and WORTH EVERY FUCKING CENT)

and i knew i was in for a treat the many times i came to the crib.


and i knew i was witnessing history when him and pete rock re created half of "mecca and the soul brother" in the basement the weekend "dynamite" was created.

but man.....

what i learned eavesdropping 8am the following day made me a believer. that shit made me the stan of ALL stans.

if you are on my computer and need to find Dilla. go to genre, and if he had something to do with it? it will be known for its tag: DILLA is GOD.


i won't go into reasons why....for it could be longer than this post. and at this rate its just baiting those who disagree or who refuse to see it or who just wanna be contradictory (aka okayplayers lol)

so i heard this bassline (go to 5:07) playing for like a good 30 mins

initially i was asleep on the couch upstairs so i knew the bassline from pete's interlude. which i thought "oh he's gonna recreate that interlude"

so i came downstairs and asked what he's up to and he was like

(think brotherman on martin)

".....nuttin.....just....you'know.....zonin.....tryna figure our how to freak this shit....i got an idea in my head but i have to figure out how to solve the puzzle.....its gonna come to me....but i got to figure out how...."

so then he plays this


for like 40 mins straight.

---now this is the first straight up beat i saw him make from scratch. most of the time he just grabs the ram file and blamo the beat is up (day we first met the "got til its gone" parts were already in the machine and he just created "let's start" for tribe so i had missed those)

first thing i notice is his patience factor....when i make beats i play the record on 45 I'm skipping parts i aint got time to listen to a record over and over and over and over again....

i ask him about this and he said its better to suffer for 30 mins with a record than to skim through the shit and next thing you know you hear someone else use a part you coulda freaked better but cause of lack of patience you opted not to.

hmmm novel thought.

so i asked which approach is his gonna take....and he said he wanted to see if there was another juicy part for him to take...


so now we a half hour into it i was like "well.....there are no clean parts.....roy is talking all over that shit over and over....its impossible to find a juicy spot."


lol i wonder if he was appeasing me like "you mere mortal do you not know i created heaven and earth in 7 days? muahahahahahaah" in his head.

he just said

"yuuup....pssshhh man.....i dunno how imma freak it"

so he made a cassette copy for his range and we grabbed food before it was time to take me to the airport.

we went to greektown and came back and he decided before he was going to put the record to bed (this aint the first time he gave up on a loop....the breath and stop sample frustrated him so much he gave me the record to which he would reluctantly find something to give to tip on a last minute attempt) so before the airport he decided to record every piece of the song that had 0 talking on it.

so its like...

an hour later and he has made about 20 pads on the 3000 with samples no longer than half a second each.

he even did a "be my guest" and let me get on to see if i could make some chitterlings off the table scraps from the big house.

nothing.

he retired the thought and drove me to the airport.

i got home and he left a message on my machine.


"whoooooooooooooooooooooooo!! yo! i figured it out!!!!"

check it!!!

(this is okp's own JP's version of the beat so you can have a clear idea on how fucking impossible it is to find the open spots on this beat)


when i heard it my jaw dropped.

i was speechless. again. to understand Dilla you must first immerse yourself in the music that he uses to create beats. and only when you hear this song more than 20 times you will soon see how fucking impossible it is to make this beat as a mere person (so what is JP up to by the way?)


then i was like "yo pete is gonna be fucked up when he hears THIS shit!"


dilla: NONONONONONONONONO!! naw man....you can't let him hear this man i cant afford that!

?uest: afford what? this shit is a miracle!!

dilla: nah man....like i dont want no tension. that's my idol i dont wanna give off the impression that im trying to outshine him....

?uest: but dog im saying if you shine then.....

dilla: nah man....

?uest: so all this shit i got with samples he's us---


dilla: yeah man dont let that shit get out man....i just do it for practice....


?uest: wait....so this beat is never going to see the light of day ever? you just made it and lost sweat over it for.....sport?


dilla: yeah man....i just practice......



thank god.....kweli had a cassette which had this beat on it for like 15 secs.


they looped it from the cassette.


but it was too late and he shrugged it off....


but man......that humility.

if i found a way to bust somebodys ass for the world to see?


sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit i be the first to be like

"oh yeah chris? but can you play with drumsticks in yo pinky toe chump?!?!!?!?!?"


my man.


dilla.

A noble concept....FERRARI V4 MOTORCYCLE CONCEPT

I really enjoy concept cars especially when they come from out of nowhere like this Ferrari V4. Obviously Ferrari (founded in 1928 by Enzo Ferrari) is known for sports cars, but the motorcycle Amir Glinik designed is so sleek & round that it would probably only be seen in the future. A matter of fact, I have seen this bike before & it was in the future. Hiding the engine is only appreciated in cars, not bikes. But a good go none the less.











It must be nice being the Sultan of Brunei because about ten years ago he commissioned a custom F50 Ferrari called Bolide. Now as he has gotten older, he is now a soccer dad. But Hassanal Bolkiah is not just any soccer dad,he's a Ferrari soccer dad.


Alhamduillah!

Things to waste our money.

While totally overprice at $750 bucks, this STILL looks great. LG’s newest high-end fashion phone, the Prada II, will now be releasing with a matching Bluetooth Prada watch to go with it. These will not be bundled but sold separately. Available now in the UK, the Prada Link watch will go for around $376, and the LG Prada II will go for a hefty $715. The phone features a convenient slide-out keyboard with 3G, Wi-Fi, a full HTML browser, and a nice 5 megapixel camera.








Now on to this fly little watch, designed by John Pszeniczny the F1/Carbon GMT is inspired by F1 racing and is constructed of carbon fiber, Swarovski crystal, rubber and metal. Also unique to this timepiece is the 18 identical rubies that tells the time in everyone of the 18 cities on the 2008 F1 circuit.









You ever been high off a few lines of coke & think to yourself "Damn, I really wish I had a f*cking watch with Moon Dust in it"...well me neither but obviously someone at Romain Jerome did. The latest from the house of Romain Jerome is the “Moon Dust-DNA” collection, which includes watches made from moon dust, parts of the Apollo 11 rocket and bits of spacesuits. They are going to make 1969 watches, indicating the year of Neil Armstrong’s and Buzz Aldrin’s first journey to the moon. The dials of the new watches will feature tiny craters, with dust in them from the moon rock. Steel from the Apollo 11 space shuttle will be used for the case while the strap will use fibers from a spacesuit that was worn during the ISS mission. Pricing for the Moon Dust-DNA watches starts at $15,000 and goes as high as $500,000.

Always On.

Apple has patented a new display technology that will allow their iPhones to have always-on displays with almost no battery cost whatsoever. This doesn't mean the whole display would be lit at all times. In reality, only part of it would be activated using a secondary backlight system located under the main one. According to Apple, the objective is to give feedback to the user at all times, even when the main display is turned off:

The primary backlight system may block light from the secondary backlight system except for those one or more regions. Thus, the size and shape of the status indicator may be set by sizing and shaping the transparent or semitransparent regions of the primary backlight system. In addition to setting the size and shape of the icon, the color of the icon may also be set by adjusting the color of the light provided by the secondary backlight system.

For example, each indicator may have a particular color, blinking speed, or light intensity. These properties may be programmed into the electronic device by the user, or may be hard-coded or hard-wired into the system. Thus, when the secondary backlight is turned on, the properties of the light provided by the secondary backlight system may depend on the status of the device. Also, if the status of the electronic device changes while the secondary backlight is on, the properties of the light provided by the secondary backlight system may change to reflect the new status.

To avoid depleting the battery, these icons' backlight system will be low-power. Don't get your expectations too high, however. The patent doesn't clearly explains how the icons themselves may be displayed. By the look of the diagrams included, they may not even be actual pixel-based icons, but cut-outs illuminated by individual LED lights shining through the main display.

Style trends I don't like on women part 1

SPATS! I fucking hate spats, while not my most hated on women (wedges I hate wedges for some reason) spats are in my top 5! They remind me of something Pudge would wear.
Pudge AKA Carlton Fisk.
While I wasn't a huge fan of this summer's gladiator sandal, they did not bother me.
But this shit has got to stop! I'm not into this Gatsby & Marx shit, save spats for the BDSM crowd.

Bruce Lee Ping Pong

Physical feats

Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats. The following list includes some of the physical feats that are documented and supported by reliable sources.

* Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.
* Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24 frames per second, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.
* In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.
* Lee could perform push ups using only his thumbs.
* Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.
* Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.
* Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger
* Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.
* Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.
* Lee could cause a 300-lb (136 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a side kick.
* Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-lb (68 kg) punching bag.
* In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair.
