thanks for the pic to DeePhunk over at OKP
For the first time in a long time, I am at a loss for words, he never got to achieve the shine that his talent fully deserved.
EDIT/UPDATES:
some other links I thought I should share, and some more developments. Dilla passed away from complications that led to Lupus.
*?Uestlove has left a very nice entry on his myspace blog about his favorite Dilla memories.
*Myspace as a whole has been swamped with people paying their respects, as well has the okayplayer forums.
Here the ones I’ve come across
Dilla’s Myspace
Roc-C from Stonesthrow, who has a video that features Dilla (and the track was also produced by him), but even better yet he already has recorded a dedication to Jay Dee, a very worthy listen.
T3 of Slum Village Myspace
Elzhi of Slum Village Myspace
Slum Village Myspace
