J Dilla Documentary [via Stussy]

Always good to see like minded individuals talk about one my favorite musicians, J Dilla. The anniversary passed earlier this month and Stussy saw it only right to put out a series of interviews of all the talented minds around Dilla. It would have been nice to see Phat Kat, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson...all Detroit emcees that improved under the watchful eye of Jay Dee. I know its hard to documentaries. Getting Slum Village or Tribe interviews are probably harder than cold-fusion, but still...it would have been nice.

But I'll take what I can get.

Day to Day, February 12, 2009 - February isn't just Black History Month. It's also "J Dilla Month" — declared by Stones Throw Records in honor of the Detroit hip-hop producer James "J Dilla" Yancey. He died three years ago this weekend. The L.A.-based label worked closely with Dilla before he passed. Eothen "Egon" Alapatt, Stones Throw's general manager, talks about Dilla's music and legacy.

One of my favorite artists. Musically and otherwise.  He is sorely missed.
