How Nujabes Influenced Lo-Fi Hip-Hop | Genius News

.

.

First listened to him in 2006 just as a I was graduating so it was a very bittersweet time for me and it was the best soundtrack for me at that time. And then just four years after discovering his music during a rocket ship of a career he had at the time he dies so arbitrarily in a car accident. One of the most tragic losses to music I’ve ever encountered. I hate to think of all the music we lost out on all these years

Tribe called Quest vibe to me. Beautiful all the same.

Nujabes is one of the deities of lo-fi. I was in high school when I first got tuned in to him, and that was over 15 years ago.

J dilla created and perfected lo fi hip hop instrumentals

He's a fraud. They copied J Dilla

Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies Lies

This is a lie Asian's did nothing but copy, like they did with other forms of Black American music like Rock, Jazz, and yes even Classical music.

STOP Using black people who were born in the 21st century to tell lies about Hip Hop and Black culture. Asians had no hand In creating and developing black American Culture.

This is a lie, There are no Japanese 4 father's of hip hop. They all thought it was trash before it got cool and a lot of these Suckka Mc's and Dj's copied/ bit some black DJ's like J Dilla.

Rip

rest in beats Nujabes 🤟

luv(sic) part 2. One of the top hip hop love songs

Bro keep saying the name wrong.

Samurai Champloo, Nujabes and Shing02 are what got me into hip hop and lo-fi back in 2004. Thank you, KINGS!

jingsang and tomppa are so goodddd

MF DOOM AND NUJABES, TWO KINGS RESTING IN PARADISE

Why they don't make videos like this anymore?? Amazing content and memories

You honestly cant listen to his music the same way again knowing what happened to him. Rip to a generational talent

Nujabes is undoubtedly the father of Lo-Fi. He's the creator of his own style and the sole father of Samurai hi-hop. RIP

J dilla, Nujabes, Fat Jon, Madlib, Flying Lotus: I grew up with Donuts and Modal Soul, it led me into beatmaking under the guise Gloam, whenever I have created, it was heavily influenced by all of them, I only created to pay homage and perfect the craft. I understand people say "style biters" but we want more and we can't have the originals continue to create. Beatmakers are like prophets, spreading the word of their progenitors in a respectful manner, we will never have them again, but those who try, allow us a taste of greatness we were once exposed to. Tragic how fate decided they had done enough, when they had so much to offer.

both dilla and nujabes invented lo-fi

Nujabes and Dilla shaped my musical ear. 🐐🐐

I still remember so vividly the first time I heard Nujabes, it was a winter's night in Sydney in 2007, me and my friend were sitting in his car waiting to pick up some buds, my friend always had a much more refined taste in hip hop and when he played me luv(sic.) pt3 for the first time, it honestly changed the course of my musical interests forever. I loved shing02 on the track, but it was the beat that had me hooked. Needless to say, Nujabes has been on constant rotation ever since that winter nigh. Thank you Jun Seba.

Aruarian Dance was master peace

new jobs

Goat ❤

Seba J and J Dilla RIP

I have no enemies ...😊

A very interesting and well researched video. And I like the calm way you presented the facts and that you got Nujabes' actual collaboration partners for interviews.
Thank you a lot for this.

RIP to an ICON.....nujabes 4eva

SahBabii put me onto Nujabes and I’m forever greatful that he did ❤️

in a perfect world doom and nujabes would have dropped an album together

2 years ago I watched samurai champloo and that's how I discovered nujabes. He quickly became one of my favourite artists, his music will keep on living through his fans forever 💖

wtd nujabes and j dilla are born same day same year

no wonder why samurai shamploo was so iconic it were the soundtrack they were bangers

Nujabes, and Dilla walked so lofi hiphop artists could run

Still underrated

RIP

Not really a known fact but Shinichiro Watanabe had mentioned at an anime convention that before Nujabes passed away, they were actually in contact and were planning on working together on another anime project, but the work for the project was scrapped after the accident.

That’s crazy have Jinsang and tomppabeats in another playlist didn’t realise they were inspired by him lol

RIP you beautiful man

Amazing music

now it doesn't really matter but I think it's funny he pronounced it "nu - jah - bes" the entire video when everyone around him says that you pronounce it "nu - juh -bes". they even included the clip from substatial's song where he says everyone pronounces his name wrong. not important and doesn't take away from this tribute, just funny. rip my goat though 🙏

just found out that Nujabes is the guy who invented Lofi Hip-hop

nujabes is such an amazing person

This lo fi
