Next week, we celebrate both his birthday and the anniversary of his death. RIP Mr. Yancey!





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
R.I.B. Rest In Beats Dilla Dog! My fellow aquarian brotha.
RIP j dilla
Arguably the most underrated producer to ever grace hip hop. Whether he was going by Jay Dee or J Dilla, he was always he could lace any artists with what they needed. He could produce for the Busa Rhymes types as well as the Common and Badu types. Versatility was never a question.
When he focused, he could spit too. His beats and a few of his sixteens were the only thing that made Fantastic Vol 2 the classic that it still is. Reppin’ the D and the whole micwest in his own quiet way before Em even had a deal. I truly believe he was truly about to get his shine on with the attention Ye brought to that whole native tongue-esque movement. One of if not the best to ever do it, whatever shine he missed his legacy will receive in tribute for years to come. Hope he’s restin’ in peace……
* forgive all of the preceding typos……. MAN! Too many to correct LOL too into shouting out my boy Dilla….
Its fucked up that he gets more love and praise away from the Crib than he did while he was here. The man was BRILLIANT!
people always seem better after they’ve died. no shade. and God bless him.
