“J.Dilla: Still Shining” from B.Kyle on Vimeo.
If you wanted a real in-depth look at the life of
J-Dilla, this documentary has that two times over.
Mainly shot on the day of his funeral in 2006, director
Brian ‘B.Kyle’ Atkins manages to get insight from
Ma Dukes herself and a great array of Dilla’s friends
and collaborators. Nah Right had a breakdown of
the documentary on their site, so they get utmost
thanks for this. This is worth 40 minutes of your
time.
