The book Dilla Time sitting on a folded out record sleeve of Pharcyde’s Labcabincalifornia, on which J Dilla produced several tracks as Jay Dee.
There’s a scene in this that made the guy sitting next to me whisper “oh shit, the thing” to himself and I laughed out loud. I’m in the middle of reading the phenomenal J Dilla biography by Dan Charnas and in it, Charnas vividly describes the evolution of musical time and how Black artists in America changed the very feeling of music—away from European music tradition and into something new, something that swung. You don’t need to have that particular bit of musicology in your head to love Sinners, but it immediately deepened my experience with this movie.
A paperback book of Total Chaos, written in graffiti style text.
The book Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon. The cover is awful, the book is good.
