*waits for the obligatory "aww man, dude never had this many fans before dying" post*

Eff that.  Whether you were up on Jay Dee prior to death or whether you got put on after he died, either way you've been blessed to hear one of the greatest ever. 

I still remember the first time I heard "Fantastic, Vol. 2"---that joint made me look at hip-hop differently b/c as a dude from Michigan, I had no idea that dudes from Michigan were putting it down like that.  That album is easily one of my most played to this day, too.  Front to back its just good, solid hip-hop.

I'm not even going to lie. I had never heard of Dilla before he died. His music is something else though. Only musician whose instrumentals I listen to constantly. His music always keeps you guessing. Truly a great musician.

 

[j dilla himself]

Appreciate the love, fellas
