  2. Dear J Dilla:

    I really wanna thank you
    Aint a producer today who could spank you
    Crazy with the beats, every one a heavyweight
    MPCs get scared when they hear “J-88″
    Had me loving Donuts even though I’m livin healthy
    And Jay Stay Paid, never rich but always wealthy
    I never got a chance to show you love and shake your hand
    But I know the whole world love you, more than Jay love Japan
    So I thank you, Mr. Yancey, for the music that you’ve given
    It’s through your music that your spirit continues livin
    I’ll never forget what you’ve done for Hip-Hop
    It’s true that 1 won’t do, and that’s why it’ll never stop.

    RIP Dilla (I wanted to write so much more, but I’m bawlin right now. I never loved a man the way I love Dilla. I’m causin water damage to my laptop right now with all the love I got for Dilla.)

  34. “If you were to secretly ask the most praised hip-hop producers, if given a top three, who they fear the most, Dilla’s name would chart on everyone’s list, hands down.” ~ ?uestlove, drummer from The Roots

  35. R.I.P. to the greatest producer of all time.

    Jay Dee is probably rolling in his grave anytime he hears a Lex Luger beat.
