J.Dilla - Tribute

I want to take this time and pay tribute to One of the greatest Producers, in a industry full of Check Chasers J. Dilla who had an tremendous amount of passion for music, passed February 10th, 2006 from an incurable blood disease, and Dilla had also been diagnosed with lupus.

To those of you who didn't know Dilla he was and still is one of the most influential hip-hop producers who formed the backdrop to songs by artist such as; Common, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, D'Angelo and his own group, Slum Village.... I could go on and on about how great Dilla Is But today I wont educate you guys on HipHop Greatness, Because HipHop is and acquired taste when it comes to Having to learn the history, But if your A "HipHop Head" and/or a "Rapper" Learn your wheres, whats and who's in hiphop then upgrade your life to "MC"... Learning is Fundamental..
