Bring It Back: Jaylib (Jay Dee x Madlib) – The Red [2003]

During the past 5-6 years of being in this line of work (HHDX x 2dbz) it’s become quite obvious that the music industry gets pretty quiet around this time. Sure we’ll get some dope tracks/videos here and there, but not nearly as rapid as the third and fourth quarter. So why let that slow the dopehouse down? Which is why I’ve decided to start up this little off brand series. No specific dates, no specific genre, nothing. Just a random post at any given moment that will feature a track or two that may bring you back to a certain place in time, piss you off for not being “new and exclusive” or maybe put you onto something you haven’t heard before. *shrugs…

While sifting through the music on my iPod and getting ready for my trip back home I ended up stopping at Jaylib’s Champion Sound. For those that don’t know, Jaylib was a collaborative effort between Madlib and the late great J Dilla. Half the album was produced by Madlib with Dilla on the vocals, while the other half was Dilla beats and Madlib vocals. Throw in Guilty Simpson, Frank-N-Dank, Percee P, Talib Kweli and Madlib’s helium inhaling alter-ego Quasimoto and you’ve got yourself an incredibly dope album. This track in particular was the first single; and for good reason as it’s one of my favorite Dilla beats of all time.

  6. @ Day0

    “Read nigga, READ” – Immortal Technique

  7. ^ lol
    Dope song btw…I love “Official” off this album. Also there’s a remix of Bright as the Stars by Black Star using this beat somewhere on youtube

  8. ^i knew that was gon get taken the wrong way!
    it was ni regard to the first bar of the song.

    “YALL NIGGA LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?”

  9. ya’ll quotin immortal technique now?

  10. love this song.

  11. awww man i was so hyped for this album. then this 12″ dropped and it was OVER!!!! THE BEST TRACK off one of the best albums this decade.

    and yeah that beat is absolutely ridiculous! top 5 dilla beats

  12. damn i need some new Quas to light up to. maybe on the next medicine show.

  13. So does anyone have a link to the early version of this with the sample issues? My old girl used to have it on her iTunes but I can’t find it nowhere now.

  14. this has been my rngtone for like a year now. FAV dilla beat for suree

  15. never heard this song is dope. beat is ill. thanx for putting the instrumental up imma rip that in a second

  16. Great idea.

    Looking forward to some more dope tracks from the past that I missed.

  17. pretty sure this is my favorite Dilla beat. pretty sure……

  18. And by early version I mean the really early bootleg version… there was something sick about that one.

  19. @Shake –
    thanks for clearing that up for me

  20. Yeah I don’t have the original, just the deluxe so this will be nice. Good looks Shake I love this album.

  21. all i gotta say is what the fuck do any alabama fan gotta say. a freshman quarterback ran CIRCLES around your fucking defense. god damn

  22. my ringtone for the longest time

  23. [...] so anyone browsing has to visit the original blog/post to download.) This post originated from 2dopeboyz on January 7th, 2010 leaked by2dopeboyz go to [...]

  24. Yes. Love this album and this song. “React” was always my favorite. I’d play it and people would be like, “What the fuck is wrong with his voice!?”

  25. This song The Official pillz and everybody sleeps on survival Test OW MY GOD THAT BEAT IS CRAZY!!!!!! and jay dee rips it.

  26. This album is def one of my fav hip hop albums of last decade. I was actually bump this, Madvillian and The Shining today. Raw Shit is my joint and The Red is one of my fav beats ever! Hate I was too young to truly appreciate Dilla. But at 20 I can def see his talent and greatness.

  27. Probably one of my favorite tracks of all-time. I was so pissed when Stones Throw re-released Champion Sound and had to leave the original version off. Champion Sound is easily one of my favorite albums of all-time. “Madlib & J Deezy, doinit like we doinit for TV”

  28. two of the greatest to do it. rest in beats to dilla.

    Was thudding this beat the other day riding around.

  29. listen to the sample. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8pl_5v5sEQ How fuckin ridiculous is it that he turned that into that song.

  30. Shit was my ringtone for a long ass time.

  31. imagine if it wasnt madlib on the mic, the man is a great producer but a god awful MC

  32. Stones Throw will take this down. Shouldn’t be putting up shit you weren’t cleared to upload anyways considering you take in ad revenue. Going to give that ad revenue taken by this post to Dilla’s mom?

  33. just listened to the deluxe edition version, and realized its the same beat used for Rae’s “10 Bricks”

  34. CHAMPION SOUND UNREAL ALBUM

  35. “Stones Throw will take this down. Shouldn’t be putting up shit you weren’t cleared to upload anyways considering you take in ad revenue. Going to give that ad revenue taken by this post to Dilla’s mom?”

    wamp wamp… its one song. and if anything, im helping. you do notice the itunes link right? get off your high horse. your here to download free music all the time.

  36. shake snaps back!

    “if anything, im helping.”

    ^get off your own high horse son

  37. yea. because thats high horse status. smh… no need to go back and forth though. im done for the night.

  38. Greatest Kick x Snare x Swing in a beat EVER!!

    This has to be one of the illest albums of the last decade.

  39. Greatest ever! Jay Dee!

  40. MadLib produced this Beat!!!just listen!!!

  41. That wikipedia bullshit is wrong..checkk the album cover…

  42. dilla produced this beat
    maybe additional prod by madlib but thats him on vocals
    rip jay dee
    this album still is so dope

  43. Man I heard this track like 2 years ago, and I haven’t stopped bumping it since. probably one of my favorite beats of all time.

  44. @1 said this: Jay Dee produced “The Red” dolo. No co-production there. The beat is from one of the beat CDs he mentioned during the 2003 interview with Dustbusters (five batches, 25 beats per). In fact, all of the songs he produced on ‘Champion Sound’ (except for “Raw Shit”) came from those beats.

  45. the piano loop!

  46. “In fact, all of the songs he produced on ‘Champion Sound’ (except for “Raw Shit”) came from those beats.” I made a mistake. “Raw Shit” and “The Exclusive” were from different beat CDs. The rest were from the five batches.

  47. that beat is so big. i remember when i got tony hawk project 8 and this was on the sdtrk, i would get amped and only skate to this track. classic.

  48. That song is the dopest on the CD, and that sample on the chorus is so hot, like some 80′s singer sh*t

  49. I feel The Official is the highlight of this album and this album was on my best of the double 00′s fo sho!

  50. @ troy – cosign. Craaaaazy. And…’For those that don’t know’ this shit here…we’ll, those people should off themselves.

  51. Unreal song from an unreal album. One of my all time favorites for sure!

  52. dilla’s production is sick as usual.
    not feeling mad lib on the vocals though.

  53. Great idea Shake

  54. One of my favorite songs of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & the cat DayO that said who the fuck is this? That is exactly what is wrong wit hip-hop thank u 2dopeboyz school the youth on real hip-hop Jaylib 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
