Stephen OlsenAnother more emotional pick. J. Dilla was one of best producers in hip hop. He was dying while he made this. It is a top hip hop album, but largely just samples and beats. Literally made it in hospital. I helped his get a bunch of stuff made hen working at Disc Makers. They gave me a copy of the vinyl before the art was on it. Was pretty cool.

JamesDilla's final LP condenses entire emotional and rhythmic ideas into miniature instrumental pieces that often last barely over a minute. He manipulates soul, funk, jazz, and pop samples with such fluidity that the beats feel both improvised and impossibly precise. The fragmented structure gives the record a dreamlike emotional flow. Knowing it was completed near the end of his life only deepens its emotional resonance without defining it entirely.
