ども〜！

今日はSpecialな友達を紹介します。

willis read （ウィルス・リード）です！

彼は、プロジューサー、DJ、レーコード収集家。

今回は彼とJ Dillaについて話したいと思います。

Aki: オレはHip-Hopって実はあんまり聴いてなかったから、ちょっと疎いんだよね。。

Jディラってどういう人物なの？

willis: Dillla was one of the most versatile producers in hip hop.  He worked with a wide

array of artists: The Pharcyde, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo,

The Roots, Madlib, Busta Rhymes and Common among others.  He was relatively unknown

compared to the artists he worked with and preferred it this way.  He was extremely humble

and preferred to let his music speak for him.  He passed away four years ago this week

but his fans and fellow artists have really helped preserve his legacy which sees him as one

of the greatest producers in hip hop.

Aki: なるほど。Jディラはとても謙虚な姿勢の人だったのかな。

willisはJディラの曲で何が好きなの？

willis: That’s a difficult question…Well a few of my favorites would have to be:

Q-Tip – Let’s Ride

Slum Village – Players

J Dilla – Lightworks

J Dilla – Won’t Do

Aki: wow, オレにとって新しいわ！こういうの！いいね！

もっとJディラの事、知りたいんだけどなんかある？

willis: There are a few websites out there:
