I'm blown away at how zealous certain people are about him all the while knowing that most of them ignored him in the past 10+ years he was making music for known artists on major labels. It's not he was relegated to regional/private press status.

Sayin'. Jay Dee was a very good producer of hip hop beats. He was NOT Martin Luther King. Dudes need to come back to reality.
I believe the one Faux Rillz will be donning khaki cargo shorts, new balance sneakers, and a smedium "Dilla Changed My Life" T-shirt. I know I will, even though it's f*cking cold out right now. We do it because we BELIEVE.
I'm truly fed up with all this exploitative crap that's been going on since his death. The worse part about it all is that some of his music has been unlistenable anymore for me because of these a-holes who've played him out.
PS: this groupie fan boy love for him by lil dudes who just got an MPC is what REALLY sickens me. I mean, just because you like someone's music doesn't mean you have to go and try to jack his whole style.

Was he really that much of a life changer for some of you people? Whats so big about a sloppy unquantized beat with two snares slightly off from eachother, nothing. When is Buckwild's birthday? I'd toast to that.

Well, this kinda proves my point, and that of Young Phonics, too, I suspect - when he was making regular, bangin'-ass hip-hop music with the likes of Tribe, Tip, Busta Rhymes, Pharcyde and Keith Murray, I'd take a bet that most of the people jocking him now weren't that interested, apart from bitching about how he "ruined" Tribe. Now they act like he's rap's Kurt Cobain just because he's dead. To which I say; he was always good - most of you just weren't paying attention.
Bob Marley and Dennis Brown have birthdays this week (2/6 and 2/1), the Saturday morning WKCR reggae show used to have a tribute broadcast that I'd record great music off of. It was the only time I've ever "celebrated" an artists birthday, I used to look forward to that show every year. They have new hosts now, it's not the same. Actually now that I think of it, March 9th usually brings about some good mix shows on NYC radio for the day Biggie died, Mr. Cee is usually an automatic listen. While "Dilla Day" sounds kind of corny on the surface (reminds me of Pap Day), I'm sure some decent enough mixes would come out of it somewhere in the ether. But no, I have no plans for Dilla Day.
Illa J fans are pretty much the definition of Jay Dee groupie fan-boys who will probably hype anything that he might of touched or been associated with for that fact alone.
The other day I was DJing at a spot and finished doing a lil 30 minute thing im kinda thirsty so my homie goes up to give me a break. I sit down next to this kid at the bar and he says he likes what I was playing and asked if I would play some Dilla, he goes on to say that he listened to ???Dounuts??? for like a year straight, and that he gets offended when people ???who act like they know about hip-hop??? don???t know who Dilla is. I told him that I had just played the new Q-Tip jawn and that Dilla had produced it. He was like oh cool, who???s Q-Tip? I then had to explain who ATCQ, the Ummah and the Native Tounges were???. He then asked if I could play some ???Blue Scholars???

I like this word.
Kurt Cobain was the leader of a good rock band. He was NOT John F. Kennedy. Dudes need to come back to reality.
Freemasons-related.
I then contemplated suicide.
always was a jay dee fan and that was for Delicious Vinyl and the P.R. company that is handling the campaign, plus I think it's a good look.
You would have a PWND on your hands if I was like "ZOMG! TURN IT UP!". Nice try.
i thought dre day was the 18th, shitty it's on the 14th this year, our dj night is the 14th so i won't be able to make it
1998 called. They want to know who's more hip-hop.
Sorry, I didn't catch that. I was staring at the Stones Throw Kool Aid residue in your mustache.
how's my dick tasting today ?
