Paqman's Top 5 J Dilla Produced Cuts

(Photo via listenrecovery.wordpress.com)

It's been said many times, but needs to be said again. J Dilla's influence on hip hop was massive. Up until he passed away, Dilla was pumping out memorable production on some amazing tracks. So, in his honour here are my top 5 fave Jay Dee produced songs without any commentary, because these songs stand on their own and don't need my 2 cents:

New Black Star Track - "You Already Knew"

Black Star are prepping the release of their highly anticipated new album Black Star Aretha (speculated title). The rec, which is their first since 1998's seminal Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star will be out in the new year and is supposed to have a sort of Aretha Franklin tribute vibe to it (?)

In the meantime, a couple of cuts have surfaced on the interweb for everyone's listening pleasure. First was the Madlib-produced "Fix Up" and now "You Already Knew" which is produced by Oh No.

And in case you missed Paqman's review of Black Star's blazin' hot November 12th performance in Toronto, click right HERE.
