JLan - DrumSampleSynths Pt. 3

Griffin Wins Dunk Contest

I told ya'll... Too much hype and anticipation! Even though, on the PURE DUNKING CREATIVITY scale, I feel like McGee got him. Griffin's first dunk was probably my favorite one, [or maybe the Vince Carter dunk] They all put on a show. Best one in a while! The future of the NBA is looking bright.

In other news, James Jones won the 3-point shootout

VERY artistic, the video and the song.

Classic of The Day: J DIlla

Happy Birthday, J Dilla. I usually post videos of the artist on the Classic of the Day, but unfortunately I couldn't find one to fully captivate James "J Dilla" Yancey's pure greatness, though I did get a video of a song we all know and love, produced by him. Dilla was not only a monster behind the boards, but on the mic, too. I have chosen 5 of my favorite joints from one of my heaviest influences in hip-hop production and just music altogether. I hate the fact that I had to learn so much of his music after his death, but I know he is in a better place. R.I.P Jay Dee
All audio/video is after the jump!

JLan - That Sit Back and Relax Music Part XII (Instrumental)

Possibly the final of this particular series for the time being... maybe not. I might start a new series, I figure a nice round 12 pack would be good, but don't be surprised if a week 13 happens. This was intended for a rap/r&b collab. idk, it might still be in the works. Either way, it'll sound different with/without vocals and stuff. check it out.
