Sort of like a hip-hop Arthur Russell, or a hip hop... umm.. Tupac? Anyway, the man was a mad alchemist, constantly working and experimenting. We predict that even earlier records he produced such as A Tribe Called Quest's \u003cem\u003eBeats, Rhymes And Life\u003c\/em\u003e and De La Soul's \u003cem\u003eStakes Is High\u003c\/em\u003e – maligned when they were originally released – will soon be greatly reconsidered in the context of Dilla's finally much-respected legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that's a good thing, because we'd hate to think that \u003cem\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/em\u003e would be viewed as Jay Dee's crowning achievement. Working on this at the time of his death, his friend Karriem Riggins stepped in to finish the job, and while there is some great production work, it feels like more of a tribute record than a proper album. A number of A-list rappers including Common, Busta Rhymes and Guilty Simpson guest on most of the tracks too. While we like this less than we liked Dilla's previous effort, Donuts, (largely because it was instrumental) we think fans of Jay Dee will find much to love on \u003cem\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49455628419262,"sku":"fgp1793062908505","price":46.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/2749\/2542\/files\/j-dilla---the-shining-10x7_1.jpg?v=1793062915","url":"https:\/\/smallpetcage.shop\/products\/j-dilla-the-shining-10x7","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
