j dilla is all love! respect! RIP

hiphop

Its been a few months now since J Dilla passed away. Myspace was echoing with tributes for weeks (at least in my many neighborhoods).

He had a blood disease. He finished his last album Donuts from his hospital bed. Its all love and joy, devastating and heart warming. The sample is "Only one can win" and he calls the track "Two can win". I see you and I raise you one.

Bless you man.

When I listen to music at home it all gets echoed onto here and on my Last.fm page. Most of the time I don't use that cause I don't want you to see me obsessively listening to my own mixes, really bad working titles.

You can read some posts I thought were interesting from various feeds.

I've been doing the Dance Music Business Resource since 1995, back when it was on hyperreal.org. Articles and info for artists and small labels. Recently I've been posting interesting industry news items and adding some new content about downloads etc.
