I must admit, I am pretty gutted that I missed this event…
Last night (Sunday 15th Feb) Cargo held – what is now being called – the event of the year:
A night in tribute to the life & work of a true Hip-Hop genius.
J-Dilla
In his brief 32 years J-Dilla, otherwise known as Jay-Dee or James Yancey created and shaped a new sound for Hip-Hop that inspired beat smiths, MCs and music lovers around the globe. With an incredible line of production credits for De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, The Pharcyde, Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Common, D’Angelo, his own crew Slum Villageand so many more it is little wonder that J-Dilla has been described as a visionary, a genius & the quintessential producers’ producer by some of the most respected names in the game. The fact that both Pharell Williams & Kanye West name him as their major inspiration speaks volumes to the influence of his distinctive “Dilla sound”.
My bro and Tommy Gun made it to the event and had great pleasure letting me know how good it was.
