R.I.P.


So one of the most amazing talents in the world of Hip-Hop passed away. From the Ummah days to Donuts, J Dilla has consistently been a undeniable force in music. Utmost respect to him and heartfelt, sincere thoughts of condolences to his family and friends.

I know a lot of us consider Dilla beats to be some of our favorites ("Let's Ride" and "Fuck the Police" for me), so drop a comment about your favorite Dilla creation. Go out and buy "Donuts" and remember his greatness.

rip dilla

and at least for me, you can't talk about his beats without throwing in "runnin", my personal fav.

Dilla had a show a couple months ago right down by my apartment. It was completely sold out, with a group of people waiting outside, and sure enough I couldn't get in. I heard he rocked it, even though apparently he was doing the european tour in a wheel chair. I had no idea, and it's such a surprise, much respect to Dilla and his committed hiphop lifestyle.

I've gotta agree with Kris on "fuck the police," and I was bumpin hard the Jaylib album my freshman year, so much love to his work on that. RIP
