what is j dilla (jay dee) s best beat?

[Darkwing Duck (The Reincarnation)]

Runnin and The Red are both definitely up there for me, along with a few others...i always enjoyed his work with Busta Rhymes, even the shit he did on Anarchy, Show Me What You Got for example is really dope to me

anarchy is a dope dope underrated cd if for no other reason just the dilla tracks.

yes!

cant believe i forgot Pause from Welcome To Detroit, i used to bump the shit outta that album

hell yea,
i remember this 

[13th Duke]

I really don't think its possible to answer this question with any conviction.

What I will say is, I found it odd that the original poster said 'most people will probably say Runnin'...really? Runnin is actually a very simplistic beat for the most part apart from the few breakdowns in the middle. Its brilliant in its simplicity and a classic song, but I wouldn't personally even have it in my top 10 dilla. Thats not a diss to the song though, if given time I could probably name 100 dilla beats that piss on most producer's best single song.

Def agree on that. I never really fucked with Busta albums but there were always some good joints on them.

[13th Duke]

'Pause' is an astonishing beat. Incredible.

[D-TalkX]

Haven't heard too many but I liked The Light - Common

that guy rarely knows what hes talking about mike, he parades around here like hes on a more sophisticated level of listening. also hes not american and one must consider that when judging another guys views on subjects like music and movies sports etc.

[Nutty]

Gotta do my homework on J Dilla, don't know half the songs he's done.

Didn't know he did Runnin', that song's a classic.

[The Predator]

Loving the snap on that Frank N Dank 'Pause' joint, hope the whole album is like that.

[Funkstradamus]

too many to name...but my top 3:

Phat Kat - Nasty Ain't It
Common  - Emc2
Busta Rhymes - Make It Hurt

[kuruptlon]

workinonit ; one eleven ; last donut of the night
"The Red" and "Starz" are also pretty dope
But my personal alltime favourite is "Love Jones" (Extended Version) 

co-sign that sir. I was little disappointed to find out that it was just an adaptation of the Placebo song Humpty Dumpty, but ah well its soooo smooth.

J Dilla Version:




Placebo - Humpty Dumpty:

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

I'm not sure if he actually produced it, but ATCQ Stressed Out

[Sir Petey]

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Its a collab though, not sure who did what
