RISE IN PEACE!!!
LONG LIVE THE GREATEST PRODUCER ...EVER!
This is an extemely sad day. We have lost one of the greatest producers of all time, period. That fact is not even up for debate. For us fans and for those that were lucky enough to know Dilla, this is a tough pill to swallow. What makes it worse is knowing that the majority of the hip hop world will not mourn this loss like those in our community. We can only hope... that one day... the world will know his music the way die hard Dilla fans know his music, and he will posthumously recieve the respect and admiration that his music and influence commands.
James Yancey passed around 8:00 this morning in Los Angeles, California. His latest album, Donuts, was released earlier this week.
I had the privillage of meeting Mr. yancey, the coolest doode yet!
No words can describe the feeling/impact he left when he was here nor even more so now that he is no longer with us. Respect and blessings to his family and crew.
TODAY IS FEB. 10th A DAY THAT WE WILL ALL REMEMBER IN INFAMY
Tell the people you love that you love them
Forgive the people who have done you wrong cuz you never know
if you don't know his work here is a list (I'm pretty sure you will find your favorite artist in there)
