Meant to post this last night to coincide with and wrap up my series of Dilla tributes on the anniversary of his passing, but I got caught up posting a bunch of Toronto and Canadian-related stuff for my regular ‘T.dot Thursdays’ feature.
Video director, Andrew Gura, the man behind MED’s “Push” video shares raw footage from the video that featured J Dilla, which became the source for the Donuts album cover. The following is the back-story on the video & cover photo which he posted on his Flickr page:
“In 2005, stones throw records asked me to make a video for the MED song ‘push’.
we shot in two locations, one in highland park and one on hollywood boulevard. as was expected, madlib didn’t show up to set, but we were happily surprised when the semi-reclusive j. dilla did.
it meant a lot to pb wolf and stones throw, it meant a lot to MED, and it definitely meant a lot to me to have my set blessed by jay dee. (i’d met him on a few occasions before but it was usually brief and he was a man of few words around people he didn’t know too well).
i even kept the camera rolling after the music stopped on a few takes because it was obvious that he and MED were having fun together.
the end result was accepted to BET programming but never saw airplay because, despite the huge producers attached to the project (j. dilla and just blaze), MED didn’t have hot 97 spins. lesson learned.
one completely unexpected outcome of the project was as follows: months later when stones throw art director jeff jank was designing the cover for dilla’s 2006 ‘donuts,’ he realized that he had no unseen photos of dilla and that dilla’s failing health made taking a new photo impossible. so he asked me if there were any stills from the shoot that might work for a record cover. ”
