It's easy to
Fall in Love with different musical
Players; and throughout the years everybody, from
Hoc N Pucky to
Beej 'N Dem have tried to
Lock It Down.
Many were around only long enough to say
Hi. and
Bye., but there's always that one
You Can't Hold a Torch to, the
King of this producing thing, if you will.
First Time I came across this guy was this day, five years ago when
Donuts dropped and I remember thinking "this
Sounds Like Love, other producers could never make
Nothing Like This" only to read in the paper a few days later that he had his
Last Donut of the Night.
It is kind of hard to
Estimate the amount of
People his MPC has affected, but it's crazy how a few
Bars & Twists of samples could change hip-hop's
History and show the world
What It's All About.
They say you never know what you
Got 'Til It's Gone, this is true,
I Don't Know why we
Hold Tight and never
Take Notice and give them proper
Shouts while they're here — maybe one of you can
Tell Me. I do know his
Friends and
The New Waves of fans (like me) won't
Stop Scheming to keep
The Conversation going and his
Lightworks Shining.
The Diff'rence between him and others, he's the producer's producer.
So
Give It Up for J Dilla and
Think Twice before you deny his talent; and when the next
Pay Day comes, take your
Milk Money and go cop somethin'.
Happy Dilla Day, y'all.
#RaiseItUp.
