how J Dilla made beats part 2: The Pharcyde “Runnin’”

aka how J Dilla made beats part 2 🔥in the isolated drums of The Pharcyde’s “Runnin’” you can hear some of the techniques that J Dilla (then Jay Dee) used to create his distinctive “simple complex” multi-layered rhythms. The hi-hat is straight & consistent, and the snare introduces syncopation with some unexpected variety; but it’s the kick drum where any semblance of a predictable “loop” goes out the window, as it doesn’t repeat for 20 bars! indeed Fatlip apparently erased the non-repeating kick drum “pattern” as soon as his bandmates left the studio, telling them it “didn’t sound right.” When Tre heard what Fatlip had done they had some words, and ultimately Dilla had to redo his unusual kick pattern from scratch 😳 this clip is just part of a much longer deep dive into Dilla’s beatmaking process, for the entire thing check out the latest episode of One Song where we dig DEEP into the stems & stories behind Dilla’s big league production debut on The Pharcyde’s 1995 song “Runnin’” ✨ on the new One Song we dig DEEP into the stems & stories behind The Pharcyde’s 1995 song “Runnin’”
