HAPPY BORN DAY TO THE G.O.A.T. JAY DEE/ J DILLA!!

Today is James Yancey aka Jay Dee aka J Dilla’s birthday. He would have been 35 years young today, & as I type this I still can’t believe that I am typing this. It is still so hard to believe that He is no longer physically with us, but yet his music, soul & spirit live through out those who knew what time it was when it came to the G.O.A.T. So instead of mourning, we rejoice in the beautiful art that Jay blessed us all with before He left & are eternally grateful for it. So today, We here @ Blind I encourage you to play some Dilla @ every chance you get today & TURN IT UP!! If u smoke… then put one up in the air for Dilla!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DILLA DAWG!

   yo, NO…i’m in a coffee shop (with no hash) and saw this post…listened to the track….wrote a lil tribute to my man….i’m no rapper yawl…just showing respekt…laters

   3 cheers over 2 beers

   every february 7th’s like a new year

   you know its never been the same without YOU here

   i made a tribute, but i couldn’t get the sample clear

   …so i’m writing what i feel instead

   every time i hear them dirty drums i nod my head

   …snap crackle then i break my neck

   pressed rewind so much, i fuckin broke the deck

   i wish you could witness your impact

   you got every rapper producer just cloning dats

   most do it for for love…i’ll give’em that

   but then a few do it for fame and skrilla stacks

   i ain’t naming no names or tryna blow the spot

   but paint a picture of all the rappers you think are hot

   divide that number 50 and that’ll weed the lot

   to give you a square root of truth, nickas…believe or not

   so 3 cheers to my nicka Dills

   every day’s a holiday and we gone keep it real

   keep creating this music without a fuckin deal

   real niggas standup and bitch nickas kneel

   -gem and nem

   Yo” Jay was and IS an incredible inspiration to all of us that feel the need to always put our best foot forward creatively and live life in a way that projects positivity and helps to propel OUR culture. You can certainly feel and hear his influence in my trk that’s posted on your page here, the original title is “Reflections” which certainly suits the mood of the day and brings Jay to mind.

   Blessings and creativity to you all
