Jaylib's "The Red" was the beat that got me intrested about Dilla's beats, so that's my favorite. Another one is Common's "Love is".

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

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)  8)

I agree with "The Red", "Starz", and "Won't Do"... but I think a lot of people overlook "Nasty Ain't It": https://www.youtube.com/v/nlX6nB3KN_E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlX6nB3KN_E)

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.

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.

Haha says a guy called 'Petey The Great' who makes threads about 'white supergroups' and chuckles at english spelling of words without realising that there was an americanisation of the english language that occurred over on your land because people found it too difficult to speak/write it in a proper manner. I shall continue to parade.

I actually LOVE the beat for 'Runnin' by the way, I wasn't stating it as a negative for the beat at all, I was just simply suggesting that of all the HUNDREDS of beats that Dilla did in his whole life, that its odd a beat like that would be considered his greatest. Its a truly superb song though.

Just to continue the debate without allowing Petey's pointless sidebar to bother it (really? because I'm not an american my opinion is somewhat less important? Unbelievably ignorant statement!), I'd offer up J-Dilla's best work as being mostly on Slum Village's first two LPs. So many better emcees and SONGS were created with other artists, of course, but I think his beats on Fantastic Vols 1 & 2 as entire bodies of work are almost unrivalled.

Both the original and the remix of 'Fall-N-Love' are probably what I'd say is the essence of Dilla. He's had so many fucking bangers though.

Yeah I always wonder who really produced what out of The Ummah. Sometimes you can kind of tell (like for example I'd say the song "Ital (The Universal Side)" by The Roots, which is credited to The Ummah, sounds like Q-Tip's work) but they did a lot of great tracks together regardless. Same with Tribe really. Always wonder how much of the beats are Ali Shaheed Muhammad and how much is Q-Tip.

homie i got about half way through your first paragraph.

im sure all that shit could have been summed up in a few short sentences...thats your problem you try to hard to come off like this worldy musical hip hop scholar and all it does is make you come off like a some snobby wanna be hip hop douche bag.

it dont take four paragraphs to say " i didnt care for that song" but parade if you must if that makes you feel whole im just trying to talk a little hip hop not discuss and outline the culture every opportunity i get like some of the more pretentious posters on this forum.
