    Damn right, I am going to one in my city. RIP J Dilla, the greatest hip hop producer of all time!

    And get it straight, it’s not just celebrations nationwide, they are doing celebrations internationally. The greatness of his music literally stretched around the world.

    Damn I wish I saw this earlier, would definately have hit the spot after the game – was at the Bell House January ’09 for Brooklyn’s Inaugural Ball a benefit to support a public elementary school in the area.

    For the fools who don’t know who J Dilla was, he was a Hip Hop legend out of Detroit who worked on production of critically acclaimed works of artists including Busta Rhymes, Common, The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest before forming the group Slum Village and later doing some solo work.

    Next thing you know you’ll be asking who the hell was Fela or who’s Clyde Stubblefield? Learn your history and you will come to appreciate quality rather then the commercial garbage we get fed on the radio.

    N*ggas are pathetic. If you don’t know Dilla, then you don’t know hip-hop. PERIOD. Learn your history fools.
