j dilla vs. the beach boys
"(Bullion) has transformed the Beach Boys' classic 1966 album into a whole new masterpiece...Dilla would have been up for a bootleg as inspired as this."--Exclaim
pet sounds: in the key of dee
The easiest (laziest) way to describe UK producer Bullion's Pet Sounds: in the Key of Dee would be to call it a more adventurous version of The Grey Album, but with J Dilla and the Beach Boys standing in for Jay-Z and the Beatles. Sounds like a fucking mess that should probably be rejected on principle alone. Instead, Bullion's deft fusion of snippets from Pet Sounds with beats from Dilla's expansive body of work amounts to something that is ultimately more enjoyable and more interesting than Danger Mouse's seminal mash-up album. And if that isn't enough for you, Bullion's mixtape serves as a reminder (as if you need it) of just how amazing Dilla really was. His beats were/are timeless, as evidenced by how natural they sound here. Here are some links to a couple sample tracks, but you can download the whole thing for free at Bullion's myspace.

"
+ KEY OF DEE IS NOT A MASH
Write up about pet sounds in the key of dee on exclaim.ca is niice, and fully appreciated - BUT - it got one thing wrong:
"With beats taken from Jay Dee's massive collection..." ..........................................NO DILLA DRUMS USED
easy"
so yeah. i guess he was just inspired by dilla's style
he absolutely uses Dilla samples, without question. i don't know about the drums.
not feeling these at all.
it's like dilla with no soul... and it's sad cause it's just a reminder that there will be no more dilla tracks...
I liked it, but I really wished some of the tracks were longer and explored more.
They were very surfacy.
But lots of potential, and certainly enjoyable.
This is complete crap! Why ruin the best album of all-time. I think Brian Wilson would have even more strokes if he heard this crap. J Dilla, stay away from the Beach Boys and you will be fine with me. Your beats are cool, but why ruin what is already a masterpiece.
