about this song
“Dilla Says Go” is built around a few samples. J Dilla primarily lifted the instrumental from The Trammps‘ 1972 track “Rubber Band,” and looped snippets of the vocals to give this song lyrics. The sample repeats that “it’s all right” and “I’ll get over it,” possibly referring to Dilla’s imminent passing—he passed away three days after the album’s release. Dilla also used samples from prior collaborations—the repeated mantra “go” stems from the intro to B.
