Jay Dee Rest In Peace

Jay Dee's death has Okp going nuts. posts all over.

The folks who were all over Dilla before will only worship more, and many of the haters will turn around. I recall when Big Pun died, they had a dude on NPR talking about his brilliance and the melodic nature of his raps. While we probably won't get anything quite so revisionist out of Jay Dee's death, I certainly expect the overall appreciation of his work to increase.

Jay Dee was not high on my 'likely to die' list. I was not that concerned after the initial shock passed that he was in a wheelchair on stage. So I was, like when any death in hip hop occurs, surprised. Hip hop is still too young for that much death.
