I used to own this album. It contained the original version of “O.P.P.” that the Naughty boys jacked (Don’t tell Treach I said that). This is the first thing that comes to my mind with the passing of Tony D this past weekend. One of the baddest White men behind the boards, this New Jersey bred Italian American was the man behind the sounds of the positively pro-Black group, Poor Righteous Teachers. He also did my favorite YZ joint. I know I lost some of you young bucks so just peep the two vids after the jump.

Seriously, dude will be missed. My Jewish partner and Just Blaze also pay respects. And Robbie too.

Tony’s discography included.

Update: The infamous Source article that exposed the jackery.
