Kanye West 在紀錄片中談及 J Dilla 對於音樂創作的影響

隨著 Stones Throw Records 唱片公司打造的紀錄片《Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton》的 DVD/Blu-ray 於本週發售后，美國著名音樂雜誌《Rolling Stone》日前便為電影公佈了一段長達半小時的花絮片段。到 24 分鐘的時候，Kanye West 也會現身談及到知名音樂製作人 J Dilla 對其音樂製作的影響。

“It’s amazing: How could we lose Biggie, Pac, Dilla, Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson? It almost feels like the devil’s winning. We gotta make music and we think, ‘If Dilla was alive, would he like this?’ I have to work on behalf of Dilla. When I put a weird-ass Jamaican sample, it works at first but it’s not until I put the [makes discordant musical noise] that it sounds like art or sounds slightly wrong. And now it’ll go to the radio now that it’s wrong, motherfucker. Now play this. Play this five-minute song that completely fucks up your programming. Play this. It’s best respect that we can pay to great artists that have inspired us so much is to never fuckin’…never sell out.”

當中 Kanye West 還提及到與 Madlib 的合作，同時也會有 Tyler the Creator 的訪談，詳細內容請欣賞以上影片。
