[castlegar]

Fuuuuuck
So terrible. They guy was incredibly talented, loved his stuff. RIP

Listening to Departure tonight

[XenoRaven]

Not much I can say that hasn't been said already.

Sad news indeed.

 

[thedrizzle34]

sucks

[WyndhamPrice]

Really terrible. His music for Champloo was some of the earliest hip-hop I ever got in to.

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Haven't heard much of his music outside of Samurai Champloo but his work with that show is absolutely amazing.

EDIT: Any recommendations for more of his non-Samurai Champloo work?

 

[Alucrid]

Hydeout Productions 1st and 2nd collections, metaphorical music, modal soul.

 

[kassatsu]

His music outside of Samurai Champloo was amazing. I listen to it everyday. Because of his producing I was turned on to CYNE and Five Deez.

This sucks.

RIP.

 

[SabinFigaro]

Damn...

I've got Modal Soul playing right now. Such a loss...

 

[Chamber]

Terrible.

I recently got into his work on the recommendation of a friend and have played at least one of his albums everyday since.

 

[Drame]

Horrible news!

I was just listening to How you feel as I saw the thread title. I'm not feeling good at all now.

RIP.

Dude was like a Japanese J Dilla. Damn that's crappy to hear. My good friend is going to be bummed about this. From the first time I heard his stuff a while ago (from same said friend) I really dig his style...Mello and beautiful...

[neoism]

A Great Loss may he R.I.P.

His music is some of the best I've listened too. I will listen to him forever, truly a great artist.

Fucking this... I knew of him because of Shamploo( which is my favorite anime) and sense 05 his been my favorite musical artist.... He would have had a wonder musical career.. every one of his albums is gold!

 

[Vic]

Didn't knew there were so many Nujabes fans here at GAF. Thought I was the only one

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Eclipse (feat. Substantial) was always my favorite ):

 

[UrbanRats]

WTH?! Fuck this world! :-(

 

[Empty]

Listening to Modal Soul for the first time now, amazing stuff.

 

[Vic]

Horrible news!

I was just listening to How you feel as I saw the thread title. I'm not feeling good at all now.

RIP.

Fat Jon made How You Feel, not Nujabes :\

edit: I think I've misunderstood you said. My apologies.

 

[Beezy]

I just read this. That really sucks. RIP

 

[VASPER]

Ouch really enjoyed Champloo soundtrack

 

[Shapingo]

RIP

I was just listening to Luv Sic

 

[Pein]

Dammit, his music was so good. Loved his stuff from champloo and his CDs.

RIP

 

[whiterabbit]

 

[Jay Sosa]

Damn, that's a shame. Love his music but only own the Champloo OST because his albums cost around 40€ where I live.

Sky is falling with CL Smooth

 

[Master Z]

OMG nooooooo!!! One of my most favourite producers WTF!!?? I was really hoping to meet and work with him one day. RIP but he shall live forever through his music and in our hearts.

 

[BocoDragon]

RIP... Champloo was one of the greatest soundtracks in history IMO.

I will have to check out his other stuff...

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

*man tears flowing*

I enjoyed his Champloo music so much that not that long ago I seeked out his other material.

RIP. I'll be playing his music all weekend in tribute

 

[sebajuNujabes]

Loved all his stuff. I plan to finish watching Samurai Champloo because of this news. Never finished it since I know it'll make me as sad as Cowboy Bebop's did.

 

[Revolutionary]

Wow, that sucks. I'm not into anime but Champloo made me aware of Nujabes and I picked up two of his albums shortly after... amazing albums.

It's a damn shame he passed at such a young age... R.I.P. Nujabes

 

[Feep]

I saw the thread title and said aloud, "Oh fuck me."

Peace, Nujabes. You were, and still are, very rad.

 

[Dresden]

Well, there goes the non-existent chance of a Champloo sequel. ;_;

RIP.

 

[shim]

terrible news!
aruarian dance and mystline were always my favorites.

 

[DY_nasty]

Damn. This is such a horrible shock... His stuff is great. If I had to name one person that pulled me out of the crappy shit-rap and the one-sided thinking that came along with it, it was him. His music along with going to college really changed a lot of things for me.

RIP Nujabes.

 

[the_log_ride]

R.I.P.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

I was just listening to Kujuku, what horrible music to see this topic with.

 

[Zeliard]

Sad.

Why are we only finding about this now?

 

[Skilotonn]

Man, this is absolutely horrible news.

Samurai Champloo is one of, easily top 3, of my favorite anime series period, and half of that reason is him - the soundtrack is nothing short of brilliant.

I'm going to blast some of my favorite tracks from him in respect.

R.I.P.
