Some highlights from my conversation with @dcharnas breaking down his New York Times bestseller “Dilla Time” on the life and legacy of James ‘J-Dilla’ Yancey a few weeks back at the Drake Underground. The clip in question features Dan and I chatting about how Slum Village’s Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1 helped to reframe our relationship with traditional rap lyricism. Big shout to @loopsessionstoronto @waninspades @theacademypresents @fusicology for giving me the privilege of leading this conversation. Salute to @djagile @djgrouch @djpplus for providing the evening’s soundtrack and all who attended. And a special shout to my man @mr.attic for blessing us with a true holy grail: the original SV cassette he brought back from Detroit that sparked an entire city of #Dillavangelists. 🎥: @trevorfranchise #DillaTime
