Today is the birthday of two of legends in hip hop producing and DJ. Nujabes(02/07/1974-02/26/2010) and J Dilla(02/07/1974-02/10/2006), surprisingly were born on the exact same day, and died (although in different years) the same month shortly after their birthdays. It's a shame the two never got together to produce music before they passed away.

Not enough words to say everything you ever wanted.

Man, Nujabes could have gone so much further as a producer than he was able to. Such a shame what happened to him.
I discovered Nujabes through the Samurai Champloo soundtrack a few years ago, really amazing stuff that guy put out.
oh shit i didn't know this, I was just listening to Donuts the other day
cool

Donuts always gets me, there's so much emotion packed into the album.

It's so sad how that came out only a few days before his death. He never really got to enjoy any of the fame it got.
Great video too, especially since it was for such a short and chill track.
much love
Nujabes was the greatest.

Found an old CD in my closet with tracks mainly from Modal Soul a couple nights ago, forgot how great Nujabes stuff was.
Nujabes has helped me through many rough spots in my life. R.I.P

This song never fails to send shivers down my spine, same with many Jay Dee tracks.
It's a shame a lot of his tracks are so short tho
Discovered J Dilla through those [Adult Swim] bumps. Never even knew what happened to him until I came upon this thread.
I wish I could've discovered Nujabes earlier. I heard a League streamer listening to his music and searched him up. Amazing music, if only he didn't have to be taken so early.
I haven't heard of J Dilla, going to listen to some of his stuff right now.
Wow, I knew it was Dilla's birthday but I didn't know he shared it with Nujabes. Two of my all-time favorites, both gone too soon. What they did put out in the short time they were here is phenomenal though. I already spun Donuts today but it's not to late to throw some Nujabes on either. I'm going through a rough time and their music helps a lot so I'll take any excuse I can get.

I've heard this song before on a youtube video, but I can't find it, and it's bugging me.

this may be a long shot, but if u watch Flimsii, he used it in that Walking Dead video he did
Everytime I listen to Nujabes it makes happy and sad at the same time. So sad to think hes dead
Where the fuck is everybody elses Happy Birthday, OP? Step up your game and start saying happy birthday to everybody when it is their birthday.

Just about everything Nujabes did with Cise Starr is fantastic, but this one is probably my favorite.

just found this one out. Love that RnB shit, the beat fits so perfectly
Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity.
Nujabes while driving is really great, especially when it's raining
