R.i.p. Dilla

One love.

Devastated! the light got a bit darker today....one of the greats has passed! on blast in my crib "slow up...." you are with god j. Dills! -fan for life

Yo, he will be sorely missed. He was the back bone of frank n dank, detroits finest, and theyre musiq will never be the same. Im from canada and he even tore it up, here. From all true hip hop enthusiasts, rest in peace, youre where you should be man, in a paradise no1 fan, detroit lives on

This is crazy i can't even believe it r.i.p dilla dog the best to do it

Its a sad day for his famz and hip hop. May his legacy live on! rip dilla.

I pray for his family. His mother found him dead. Damn i don't know what to say to that. He and his legacy will live on as long as real hip hop fans bump his music. He's at rest now.

You already know what it is dilla, 313rd fo' life. We love you and respect what you've done for hip hop, you left us too soon, i was waitin' for you to do a track with jay since he said he liked your music, i guess its never to late thanks to all the beats you left us with. We all love you and you will be sorely missed my brother. ~1 love~

Forever r.i.p. Dilla you were great.

This is sad for music and anyone who apreciates talent in this untalented world. Thanks for the ultra classic sv tracks you gave us. Fant.vol2 is always hot to this day and you made it that way with your homies. Peace to jd and im sorry for his family.

"....from the front to the back people jump to his tracks..." - you were one of the leading lights in keeping hip hop true to the music, you will forever be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to family & friends from the u.k. - r.i.p. Dilla dog.

First and formemost, i give thanks and praises to the most high creator of all things, both seen and unseen. Then i thank him for our honored ancestors, upon whose shoulders we stand. Finally i want to encourage us all to tap into the spiritual energy that this brother generated during his time in the land of the living. He is now an honored ancestor, also known as a sheps or an egun. Now he can do so much more work from the other side, if only we remember him and aspire to keep him alive by ascribing to his tremendous work ethic, divine creative vision and undeniable musical genious. I feel like with donuts, dilla is telling us that he was short on time, so the tracks were kind of brief. Some of you had a premonition that something like this was going to happen. Ignore anyone that calls it a coincidence. Find out how to build a relationship with this brother. He must be honored in the way of the egungun (ancestors). Only then will the pathway be lit upon which he can return and crown your head with inspiration beyond your wildest imagination, if only you let him. No tears, just love. Peace from naturalmischief

My sister also suffers from lupus. Still, i only partially know how his family feels, since she's still here, thank god. R.i.p, dilla. Respect and love go out to you and your family. Hip hop will miss your incredible talents.

God bless you j.d......

R.i.p. Jay dee aka jay dilla, you were an inspiration to all of us aspiring producers out there, one of the last real music makers of this thing called hip-hop, distinguishing the real muzick from the fake in tha mainstream...thank you...

R.i.p. Dilla............you real....thank you, bless....... You had my nation on smash like a million times son, from halifax to calgary, m.t.l., t.o., to b.c., and my whole ottawa crew.....the fam know what it is......we lost a true great, but he remains in our hearts, one love.......

Rest in peace to yet another fallen soldier in our honorable hip-hop movement.

That boy was cold on them beats. He will be missed. One of the smoothest producers in the game. "what i'm a do is like uh../cut out your whole crew cause your crew likes to bite us/ya'll stick to freestyling cause ya'll ain't no writers/ tryna be some players... Fantastic, volume 2 is a classic r.i.p. Jay dee

R.i.p j dilla. Hip hop lives on through the lives of people like him

Damn, he's really gone. First the undertaker, and poetic of the gravediggaz... Now jay. F**k!!! many come and go, but these pro masters will always be. Much love to the families, and much respect to the gone. Peace, clydeight.

My name is not important. I grew up with j as his younger brother and (of course) idolized him for most of my life. We drifted over the last few and i only hope that he knows how much love, respect, and admiration i had (have?!?) for him. He taught me more than just an appreciation for abstract thinking and moving, he taught me to do whatever it takes to do you! we gonna catch up! thats a promise!!! 2-15-75

It just mess up how we keep losing soilders in the hip-hop culture. One of the nicest producers in this culture is gone in flesh but not in memory. We gonna miss u j-dilla. Thank you for keeping it real. God bless and rest u. Peace. Condolences to his family.

R.i.p homie. We alll miss you man. Your legacy will go on 4 life man! u were an inspiration homes.peace

Im cryen homes

Wats madlib without you

Im a younger woman and i've always had a high intrest for all types of music. In recent times i've come across music i hadn't heard before and had just come apon the sounds of j dilla, the roots, tribe called quest, talib kweli, mos def, madlib, etc... Along with a lot of other artists whereas in the past i'd circulated around a lot of jayz (still love him), kanye, beanie segiel, pharrell... And so on the music of dilla is that of a person who see's music. His soul seems 2 flow with the beat like fish in an ocean, the sh*t was crazy. My first time listening to his sh*t was crazy. I'm sad 2 know that there will be no more additions 2 the present masterpieces dilla has created. As a person who respects music to the fullest and a new-found fan.... Rest in peace dilla

Why did this happen j dilla made the best beats any way rest in peace jay dee!...your albums were the best.

Nobody made better beats than you jay dee stone throws is gone without u r.i.p. A moment of silence... Love!

R.i.p j.dilla aka jaydee aka dilla dawg aka james yancey. !thug..!..life! my favorite rappers are all dead...that means that i don't like hiphop anymore. Ps: my favorite rappers were j.dilla, tupac & yaki kadafi. R.i.p one more time and have a great life in heaven! i'll see ya soon, peace out!
