"Gotta go and get the money" (c) JDilla

Feb 7th, 1974 - Feb 10th, 2006


I'll be real, I wasn't the biggest fan of man's music until I heard him chop the hell outta James Brown's "Man's, Man's World." I always had respect for his music, but until I heard that beat he just couldn't compete against Premier, Pete Rock, The Bomb Squad, Dr. Dre and Marley Marl in my mind. But when I heard that beat he automatically shot to number 3 on my list (after Pete and Premier). I grew to love the rest of his music and understand his genius. It has been almost 2 years and it is still hard to believe he's gone, but his music will forever live on.

Thank You Jay Dee.
