J Dilla, MF DOOM, Madlibs: Tri-Force

[VodkaEnergee]

If this post is considered Bad by The Controllers of this Site, then I'll take it down... These three to my Knowledge, are and were known as a Tri-Force. One of many that have been, are to become. I create this post as an Appreciation and Awareness Thread. It was initially for J Dilla and his Lore, especially behind the Donut Album, but I thought to make it about these three. Reddit has stuff on J Dilla as well. Not many speak about this, or know their Sounds that well, so maybe a Deep Discussion can be birthed here. Some of these Sounds are great for Games as well. Maybe these sounds could be of a great help to y'all, and others. Maybe articles could be written, or could ignite Sound Reviews for Soundtracks of Games or Albums that sample Games Sounds and Vice-versa. I'd brought this up before, but I say being introduced to Old and New Sounds, will help Mature folk's Musical Ear. Which is needed for Growth, Development and Better Development. Especially hearing these three. Sounds that could inspire others to make great things. Help with developing Soundtracks... Though this thread is mainly for The Tri-Force. If you have any Honorable Mentioned, label in your writings Honorable Mention, to try and keep organized...

Oh that's a lot, the "Alien Family" one sounds like a menu music

This is a great list of albums too, thanks for sharing!

 

[Mochi Panic]

I enjoy every single one of them. So many hours of my life has been spent just listening to their instrumentals. College, gaming, etc.

The Youtube and discord community surrounding them and their videos are so good. People telling their stories and experiences, sharing more of their albums. Sadly you don't see too many people on twitter mentioning them since they are obscure

 

[NekoTofu]

They're most spoken words for music enjoyers from the YouTube as I didn't get to know before but I had watched J-dilla drumming patterns from Digging The Great. It's immaculate for J dilla off beat drum and shifts to his own of drumming but I reckon to comparing with the math rock style.
But Also, I've some scarced opinion on MF because of the rawness of sampling and those creative challenges on the beats, are too foreign, to account that I tried listening to Billy Wood raps and rhythm. Are same immersion to their era.
might as well try J-Dilla and Madlib so that how much can i withstand their sound to drive on.
Not saying they're bad what did i first stated but they're foreign to me. And I did enjoy those sounds on Nujabes because of the clarity within my field.

It’s kinda crazy how little J Dilla is known when compared to DOOM and Madlibs, I know it’s corny, but there’s a reason people call him the American Nujabes.

Amazing artists though, R.I.P Dilla and DOOM.
