Yancy Boys----Jay Dee

What sampler was used to make the beats on this album?

Not my favorite Jay Dee productions but It sounds like a 60 to me.

No way that's a 60. I can hear some 3000 and some SP but dunno, this album sounds like digitally mixed and mastered, therefore nothing is clear to my ears.

I think its just the 3k

^^^^^

Yeah, now I think so to cause of the effects on some of the samples..

Sound like 3000 to me

mpc3k! 4 sure

Yancey Boys

I take that back these all sound like MPC Classic 2000 beats if they are from Delicious Vinyl days cause Dilla was rockin the 2000 back then not the 3000.

So far I am not too impressed with Illa J. I didn't expect him to be Dilla, but I was hoping he would have his own style or not piggy back as much on his brother.

Yeah he definitely ain't his brother but hopefully he comes around he is still young.

I really hope he develops his own style and turns out to be good. I think he will be but his identity is wrapped up in his brother right now.... which is a good move, because people would just associate him with it anyways.

THe Yancey Boys album had no production from illa J. Future albums will feature production by him. This album was done to pay homage to his brother. Kinda like them doing an album together if he were still alive. These beats are from the mid 90's (the "Deliscious Vinyl Years") Illa J altered his style a bit to flow with the laid back vibe of the beats and album. I have a mix tape around here somewhere where his flow is real nice and different from the current album. I will see if i can find it.

Yeah I know he didn't produce on this one, but that makes sense. That is what I was wondering, because in interviews he was talking about how his brother taught him to produce too.... so I was waiting to hear his stuff. But his flow is alright, but if did all of that just for his brother I understand that and that is cool. I just can't wait to hear HIM fully.
