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:

If You Missed The Pharcyde's Free Show at Dundas Square in Toronto This Weekend...

...you're in luck! Friend of P&B, Lama (@bonvoyagetohappy) snapped some sweet picks from the side of the stage while at Sunday's gratis gig by the SoCal Trio. The Pharcyde played all of your favorites including "Pass the Pipe", "Runnin'", "Somethin' That Means Somethin'", and the classic "Passin' Me By". Overall it was a fantastic time as they banged out their 90 minute set.

Peep more of Lady Lama's picks after the jump!

Friday Flashback - Dillatastic Edition

The Pharcyde - "Runnin'"

This J Dilla produced track kills to this day. The always blazed out Pharcyde drop science on samples from Stan Getz from a track called "Saudade Vem Correndo" and Rev Run from Run D.M.C.'s "Rock Box".

The Dilla/Pharcyde partnership produced some timeless and ill cuts. What's your fave song from this dynanmic duo? Post your thoughts in the comments.
