Recommended Gem: The New York Times Presents The Legacy of J Dilla (Video)

 

A recommended gem of a music documentary.

 

 

 

It’s kinda weird that one of the best, most well-produced documentaries on the prolific and beloved Detroit beatmaker and hip-hop game-changer isn’t a standalone doc, but quietly sits as “S2 E5” as part of The New York Times Presents series on Hulu.

 

Nevertheless, it’s a great, inspiring yet heart-breaking film that exudes warmth and humanity, much like Dilla’s productions themselves.

 

I could watch it again right now.
