R.I.P Nujabes

Goddamn, I have “Rock” “R&B” “Hip-Hop”, “Jazz”, “Classical” and many other playlists on my ipod… But “Waltz for Life” was a track I always had on ALL my playlists, no matter what it was labeled…

RIP Nujabes. You may have passed, but your music will live on in my head as long as I breathe.

^_-;

His work on Samurai Champloo was a large part of why I enjoyed that series. I’ve been making it a point to check out the rest of his music. RIP.

I only just heard about this just now and I’m sad that such a talented producer is no more :frowning:

R.I.P Nujabes

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

=(

This sucks.

RIP Nujabes…your music was something else. I liked it a lot.

Ristorante Side B- (Mixtape Edition) Life is Like a Samba.

Originally an extended play of mixes that Nujabes put together, now in mixtape form you can listen to the songs individually. I definitely have my favorites and this track in particular is the ending to Side B and it works really well but sometimes I like to listen to it separately. Regardless, its one of the best EP’s I’ve listened to.

Haha, I just posted that same track. We’re in agreement that that track is awesome. :tup:

This fucking sucks, R.I.P. Nujabes. His work on the Samurai Champloo soundtracks was and still is amazing stuff.

oh shit. i never heard that before.

i have the original ristorantes (the 45minute versions) but i never knew he had mixtapes of them individually.

thanks.

i’ve been blasting out his music all day, it sucks that he went out too early.

rip :sad:

WHAT? Man, this is the first of me hearing about it. Such good beats. I play his instrumentals in the background at parties and everyone loves them, even those who aren’t into hip-hop. Will be missed.

As I read through this thread, I saw how everyone’s favorite Nujabes track was different from one another, and to me, that says a lot. Usually you’d see a lot of people band together to say a few particular songs are an artist’s greatest work, but seeing everyone choose different tracks made me realize that Nujabes had a track for everyone to enjoy, and for that reason I’m going to miss him immensely. Mystline and Counting Stars are my definite favorites, but I refuse to pick between them today, for they’re both great songs.

i enjoyed both sides of RISTORANTE. listened to it nonstop back when i did alot of drawing/painting.

just peeped this on a friends FB status… damn.

damn… he was an inspiration to me.

damn…

RIP.

I love Mystline, its one of my favorites from the sc soundtrack.

RIP. Loved his music.

I totally thought Nujabes was like a group of guys, oh well. Sucks for his family and his fans.

WHAT? HE DIED? he was so amazing, waltz for life will born R.I.P. when my friend CLinton shoed me this song, i freaked, i’ve listened to nujabes since then, he made the most soothing sounds, fuck Kanye, he thinks HE’S a genius?ignorant prick.

Fuck. I didn’t even bat an eyelid at all the celebrity deaths last year but with Nujabes’ death I’m actually saddened.

All the great music that he didn’t get the chance to make. RIP

His life (probably) wasn’t surrounded with the typical celebrity BS. If all MJ did was make great music, then I’d be sad. If all Britney Murphy did was act in great films, then I’d be sad.

In Jun Sabe’s case, we only knew him for his great music. And that music lead to many joyful feelings and we thanked him by taking our time to sit and listen. It’s a very simple but powerful relationship. I’d be just as hurt if Thes One died.

A tribute:
