First of all, the snitching part.

The people who snitched are the biggest hypocrites because they were actually selling those tapes and owned them bootlegs.

Snitching is the correct term here. Why? Because a snitch is someone who does dirt, but gets others in trouble who did the SAME EXACT dirt or less by telling on them.

And them snitches were selling that sh*t and trying to make money off of it when Dilla was ALIVE.

F*ck out of here.

In terms of the "gatekeepers" of Dilla's legacy, why is it important now that Dilla is dead?

Why is it so different than when he was alive?

Remember, "Pay Dilla" when he was alive?

Why is it okay (pun intended) to own and brag about bootlegging when he was alive, but horrible and wrong when he is dead?

Because there were a lot of cats on here without and with ok's next to their username who had them bootlegs and bragged about them too.

Why was it okay (pun intended) to own or leak all those bootlegs when he was alive? Once they leaked they decreased in value.

Where was the uproar and outrage then?

If he could have made money from those beats then, maybe the money problems that exists now wouldn't be as large.

So, I say that to say, if mofos is acting like they are holier than thou now that Dilla is dead, but didn't say that when he was alive, they are hypocrites.

Really, everthing they say is null and void, and don't mean sh*t. Cuz its quite obvious, Dilla didn't mean to sh*t to them when he was alive. Because if he did, the same sh*t they are saying now, they would have said when he was alive.
