Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Welcome 2 Detroit is the debut solo album by American rapper & producer J Dilla, Released in 2001. It's one of the few solo albums released before his untimely death due to a combination of lupus and an incurable blood disease. This was Dilla's first major release after splitting from his group Slum Village, and the first to credit him as J Dilla, having been known as Jay Dee prior to 2001.The first album from the producer-driven "Beat Generation" series by the UK-based urban music label BBE, Dilla took the boundaries of hip hop and smashed them into pieces with his experimental production, ranging from grimy Detroit hip hop ("Pause"), to Electronic Music ("B.B.E."), bossa nova ("Rico Suave Bossa Nova") and Afrobeat ("African Rhythms"). On top of being a roulette of genres, it also showcased talent from Dilla's hometown of Detroit, including longtime collaborators Phat Kat and Kareem Riggins, as well as future Slum Village member Elzhi.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })On release, Welcome 2 Detroit was met with critical acclaim from critics & fans, as well as the other producers involved with the "Beat Generation" series; to the point where Pete Rock - a producer Dilla took many cues from - re-recorded his entire BBE album just to match the quality of Welcome 2 Detroit. An instrumental-only version of the album was released in 2005.Tracklist: "Welcome 2 Detroit" (0:49) "Y'all Ain't Ready" (1:28) "Think Twice " (3:52) "The Clapper" (2:06) "Come Get It" (5:02) "Pause" (2:45) "B.B.E. (Big Booty Express)" (2:12) Beej-N-Dem, Part 2" (2:49) "Brazilian Groove (EWF)" (1:30) "It's Like That" (4:05) "Give It Up" (3:08) "Rico Suave Bossa Nova" (1:25) "Featuring Phat Kat" (3:43) "Shake It Down" (2:55) "African Rhythms" (1:36) "One" (1:30) | |

| Welcome 2 Detroit (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The chill, laid-back slowjam "Think Twice" segues into a skit featuring several men playing dice on a Detroit street corner. A fight breaks out during the game, leading to one of the players pulling out a gun and shooting someone multiple times. | |
