This week marks the 20th anniversary of J Dilla's death and the release of "Donuts."
@thisiselmattic went deep on the mythology, impact, and legacy of the greatest hip-hop instrumental album ever made.

🇨🇴 Tom Michiel Vinkenvleugel, Director de Brand Activation de Adidas:
💬 “Queríamos que esta camiseta fuera una pieza de arte, no solo una prenda deportiva. El movimiento cultural del realismo mágico es una parte esencial del ADN colombiano, y las mariposas amarillas representan la transformación, la esperanza y la belleza del país. Esta camiseta celebra eso y mucho más (…) Cada jugador que la vista y cada hincha que la lleve puesta estará representando la historia viva de Colombia”
RIP Clark Kent, the DJ-turned-producer with the gilded ear, who flipped a sample as well as anyone to dig through a dusty crate. The creator of timeless anthems for Biggie, Jay-Z and Junior Mafia & who brought Rakim back at a time when he'd been counted out.
Brooklyn's finest.
RIP Ka, rap's greatest minimalist, Brownsville's finest, inimitably dedicated himself to his city & craft. The master of quiet rage, writing zen koans with unremitting soul & passion. Pain, grief & wisdom in every bar. An artist as pure & real as anyone who ever spit cold facts.
"...the sheer energy and joy that once characterised craft beer is no longer the spirit that defines it. It is still there, in tap rooms and at festivals, but it’s slightly jaded. The naïve sense of adventure seems to have gone."

Every year on Q-Tip’s birthday, I am legally obligated to post the video of him needle dropping & looping up a beat on the spot that had both Kanye and No ID losing it 🐐
