About this album
The Shining is the title of the second official solo album from late Hip Hop producer and rapper J Dilla, who died February 10, 2006. The Shining was incomplete at the time of J Dilla’s passing and was posthumously completed. Discounting the instrumental album Donuts, The Shining was the first full-length solo release by J Dilla (featuring vocals) since Welcome 2 Detroit five years earlier, and as such was highly anticipated. It was released on August 22, 2006 through BBE Records. An instrumental version of the album followed its release shortly afterward.
In the works for many years under working titles such as the rumored Welcome 2 LA, Dilla’s manager, Tim Maynor, said in November 2005 that The Shining would come out in February 2006 on BBE and that the Dilla self-titled album would follow in the same year.[1] As the album was ultimately only 75% complete at the time of J Dilla’s passing, his friend and fellow Detroit hip-hop artist Karriem Riggins was entrusted by Dilla’s mother for the completion and handling of the record. Riggins himself has indicated that there will be further future releases of Dilla’s music in the coming years, stating that “all of his music needs to be heard”.[2]
A few of the tracks on The Shining are vocal versions of previously heard material such as “So Far to Go” (Donuts track “Bye” revamped and extended to serve as an intended remix to Common’s “Go!”). This song was originally to be released by Common during the last quarter of 2005, as part of a Be special edition package. In 2007, an alternate version of “So Far To Go” containing new verses and a new mix was released on Common’s Finding Forever album.

The version I have on my computer have samples from the movie The Shining throughout the album. At first I thought it was awkward and out of place. But now, that's what makes the album for me! Though they don't quite line-up, it adds this interesting layer to the music that makes it stand apart from any other R&B or hip-hop I've ever heard. I was always curious about those. Did J intentionally put it in, or was it put there as a sort of protection to prevent people from ripping it? Or did someone else add it in? Anyway, I love it!
