http://pitchfork.com/news/46313-j-dillas-record-collection-for-sale-at-royal-oak-record-store/



If you want to own a record that once belonged to J Dilla and you live near Detroit, here's your chance. The Detroit News reports (via the Daily Swarm) that Royal Oak record store UHF has between 7,000-8,000 records that they believe belonged to Dilla. The collection is on sale at the store now.


According to the Detroit News, UHF's Jeff Bubeck got the collection from an abandoned storage unit in Clinton Township. Included in the collection were "mountains of 94-cent Earth, Wind & Fire LPs," but also lyric booklets, junk mail addressed to James Yancey, and cassette tapes labeled "Jaydee Beats." The store released the first batch of the collection on Record Store Day.

Bubeck intends to share some of the proceeds with the J Dilla Foundation, but his attempts to contact the foundation and Dilla's mother, Maureen Yancey, have been unsuccessful so far. Dilla was a notorious record collector, as illustrated by ?uestlove's heartbreaking "5-10-15-20" story about his prized Brazilian Stevie Wonder EP.

Despite Dilla's cult and their antics, which I know you hate, his legacy deserves better than having his collection pawned off like some neighborhood garage sale.

I'm just curious? Why couldn't he sell it if he purchased it legally?

And I don't really care what he does with his records, to be honest. They're just records.

What scared me was the beat tapes and rhyme books. Those do not belong on some store shelves and should be in the hands of his estate to be released commercially at their disposal.

Why do you think that he shouldn't try to make some money off his investment? If he can make more by selling them, so be it. It sounds like once he realized what he had, he went into negotiations with the estate. Whatever he decides to do is a plus to the estate. But he shouldn't just blindly hand it over without compensation.

You see, it isn't about the capitalization of his findings to me. Yeah, he should be compensated for things that are legally his property, for if it wasn't for him they would still be locked away in some dark storage unit. What I was afraid of was him letting random laypeople get their hands on very valuable beat tapes that many fans of jay dee would be very eager to hear, only to be in the wrong hands, and maybe never seeing the light of day.

its beat taapes in the right hands you'll never hear, so....

life always offers you a 2nd chance...it's called tomorrow. use it wisely

what do you mean?

it's garbage...

The only two meaningful records since the Shining (and I am giving a pass on that one even though it was half assed) are

Suite for Ma Dukes
Madlib Dil Withers/Dil Cosby.

now reread what i wrote

it's beat tapes we eager to hear in the so called right hands that we'll never hear, so, your fears are unfounded

life always offers you a 2nd chance...it's called tomorrow. use it wisely

and yes I agree the estate is doing an abysmally poor job of delegating the way his work is released.

However, I think you're underestimating how selfish many dilla fans are. If you've ever been in the hunt for one of his super rare beat tapes, you would understand my fears.

it's his fans and friends
that want to be elite and say they got somethin
the next man ain't got for whatever reason
i'm not blamin' it on anybody or anything
i'm just sayin'
if that's one of your worries, eh
it's been come true

I HAAAAAAAAAAATE those crazy Dilla people as much as the next guy. Unfortunately, I really enjoy his music and do whatever I can to get my hands on what I can. I think his tapes are as good as most artists' albums, personally.

Not all of Dilla's shit was enjoyable to listen to..

I have had all of the tapes that leaked after he died and I only fucked with a couple of them.

The tapes are many orders of magnitude more valuable than the records, too.

Lies run sprints.

its some real bullshit.
as evidenced by the estate shutting it down.
a man's record collection represents the fabric of his life.
its only amplified in this case cuz of who he was.
if it were my grandfather, and this was happening without my family's knowledge, i'd feel the same way....
niggas in here on that disrespectful shit.
it ain't about stanning or whatever deflection these niggas can come up with.
its disrespectful..
the man died
those records and beat tapes ain't for these raping niggas to hear
some bitch ass record store owner don't got the right to sell it under a "this is dilla's collection" steez
if he acquired the records and never put dilla's name out there, and just sold it as any other records coming into his store...i wouldn't trip.
its trying to capitalize on a dead man's name for your own profit that i have a problem with...
and supporting that shit is the same bitch-ass-ness
they knew what those records meant to his family...knew that hits were made with them..
thats my issue.
the pussies in this post are too young or ignorant to get that
the discussions on twitter i've seen all day long are the exact opposite to what these raping niggas in here are saying.
they claiming the stanning thing cuz they know they wrong and want to deflect their guilt and project it back on to someone else that actually respect's the man
if it were paul c's collection i'd say the same thing
if it were biggie's rhyme books i'd say the same thing

watch the ignorance that follows in response to what i'm saying....
fukkin grave robbers

the record guy decided on his own to work with the estate.
he didn't have to dothat
get off them emotions cuz

life always offers you a 2nd chance...it's called tomorrow. use it wisely

niggas can't be calling time out and shit.. LOL!

Again BB I am sorry for my 2005 tirade when I defended these assholes.

You were and STILL are correct in that assessment.

Lies run sprints.
Truths run marathons.

if he wasn't wrong..why is he working with the estate?

the estate must have at least asked him to reconsider selling it.

of course legally, he can sell it....but why disrespect someone if you don't have to?

he's working with the estate cuz he knows wrong to sell it off like that

then after the article and the publicity they got in touch with him.
shrugs
u seem to emotional to speak about this rationally
so i'll leave u be

life always offers you a 2nd chance...it's called tomorrow. use it wisely

>if he wasn't wrong..why is he working with the estate?

Because you fuckin stans harrassed him.. I bet if I drive up right now and ask the dude he's gonna say that.

Did you miss the part where he reached out to Stones Thrown (his record label)

THERE ARE NO MORALS IN COMMERICAL LAW/COMMERCE. (It's the law of Babylon (aka Law Merchant) Just ask anyone that's against health care and can understand why there is a debate over it.

Again he's working with the estate because he doesn't want pussy ass cry babies like you to busted out his store windows.

How is selling the man's possessions a sign of disrespect? I feel like it's the exact opposite...it's a sign of value. He should make as much money as he can selling this stuff that was abandoned. If it was abandoned, that shows what the owner felt about it.

You really think he should just give it to the estate for free, or even for a discount?

the fucking property was abandoned..

Therefore, bitch ass record store owner can act legally under an enforcement of lien

Read the law bitch!

http://abandonedproperty.uslegal.com/self-storage/michigan-abandoned-property-self-storage-law/

Enforcement of lien.
Sec. 5.

(1) An owner’s lien under section 3 shall be enforced only as provided in this section.

(2) The tenant and the person designated, if any, by the tenant in section 4(2) shall be notified by written notice delivered in person or by certified mail to the tenant’s last known address. The notice shall include all of the following:

(a) An itemized statement of the owner’s claim, showing the sum due at the time of the notice and the date when the sum became due.

(b) A demand for payment within a specified time not less than 14 days after delivery of the notice.

(c) A conspicuous statement that, unless the claim is paid within the time stated in the notice, the personal property will be advertised for sale or other disposition and will be sold or otherwise disposed of at a specified time and place.

(d) The name, street address, and telephone number of the owner whom the tenant may contact to respond to the notice.

(3) A notice given pursuant to this section shall be presumed delivered when it is deposited with the United States postal service and properly addressed with postage prepaid.

****(4) After the expiration of the time given in the notice described in subsection (2), the contents of the storage space may be moved to another storage space pending its sale or other disposition under this act.*****

*****(5) After the expiration of the time given in the notice described in subsection (2), except as provided in subsection (6), an advertisement of the sale or other disposition shall be published once a week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the self-service storage facility or self-contained storage unit is located. Regardless whether a sale may involve the property of more than 1 tenant, a single advertisement may be used to advertise the disposal of property at any 1 sale. An advertisement under this section shall include:

(a) A brief, general inventory, as described in subsection (7), of the personal property subject to the lien that is to be sold.

(b) The address of the self-storage facility or the address where the self-contained storage unit is located and the name of the tenant.

(c) The time, place, and manner of the sale or other disposition. The sale or other disposition shall not take place sooner than 15 days after the first publication of the advertisement under this section.

(6) If there is no newspaper of general circulation in the area where the self-service storage facility or self-contained storage unit is located, the advertisement shall be posted not less than 10 days before the date of the sale or other disposition in not less than 3 conspicuous places in the neighborhood where the self-service storage facility or self-contained storage unit is located.

(7) The inventory required under subsection (5) shall reasonably identify the property. However, a container, including, but not limited to, a trunk, valise, or box that is locked, fastened, sealed, or tied in a manner that deters immediate access to its contents, may be described as being in such a condition, and no description of that container’s contents is required. However, any container closed in such a manner may be opened and its contents inventoried, and those conducting the inventory, the owner, its employees, agents, and representatives shall not be liable for incidental damage to the container caused by the inventory.

(8) A sale or other disposition of the personal property shall conform to the terms of the notification as provided in this section, and shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

(9) Before a sale or other disposition of personal property under this section, the tenant may pay the amount necessary to satisfy the lien and the reasonable expenses incurred under this section to redeem the personal property. Upon receipt of the redemption sum, the owner shall return the personal property to the tenant. After returning the personal property to the tenant under this subsection, the owner shall not be liable to any person concerning that personal property. If the tenant fails to redeem the personal property or satisfy the lien, including reasonable expenses under this section, the tenant shall be considered to have unjustifiably abandoned the personal property and the owner may resume possession of the self-service storage facility or self-contained storage unit.

(10) Before the sale of a motor vehicle, aircraft, mobile home, moped, motorcycle, snowmobile, trailer, or watercraft, the secretary of state and any other governmental agency as may be reasonably expected shall be contacted to determine the name and address of the title holders or lienholders of those items, and every title holder or lienholder shall be notified of the time and place of the proposed sale. The owner is liable for notifying the holder of a security interest only if the security interest is filed under the name of the person signing the rental agreement, the tenant, or occupant identified in section 4(2). An owner who fails to make the lien searches required by this section shall be liable only to valid lienholders injured by that failure as provided in section 6.

(11) Before the sale of personal property under this act, a holder of a prior lien on a motor vehicle, aircraft, mobile home, moped, motorcycle, snowmobile, trailer, or watercraft to be sold may pay the owner the amount of the owner’s lien attributable to storage of the property, including the reasonable expenses incurred by the owner under this section. The amount payable to the owner shall not exceed the equivalent of 4 months’ rent. A payment made to the owner shall be added to the amount of the lien of the prior lienholder who made the payment and shall be subtracted from the amount of the owner’s lien.

(12) A purchase in good faith of the personal property sold under this section takes the property free of any right of a person against whom the lien was valid, despite noncompliance by the owner with the requirements of this section.

(13) In the event of a sale under this section, the party conducting the sale shall distribute the proceeds in the following sequence:

(a) First, to satisfy the owner’s liens up to an amount equivalent to 4 months’ rent, minus any amount already paid the owner pursuant to subsection (11).

(b) Second, to satisfy outstanding balances owed prior perfected lienholders.

(c) Third, to satisfy the balance of the owner’s liens.

(14) Any proceeds of the sale remaining after the distribution is made under subsection (13) shall be returned to the tenant by mailing the proceeds to the tenant’s last known address by certified mail and by notifying the tenant by first-class mail. If the tenant does not claim the remaining proceeds within 2 years after the date of sale, the remaining proceeds shall escheat to the state. The owner shall maintain proper records of money received in any sale held under this section, and the records shall be subject to audit by the state department of treasury




But you know what... it's all good because the 'estate' has been releasing re hashed garbage anyway with no direction of the deceased artist.

"It's beyond annoying," Bubeck said. "To say the least, I'm a little anxiety-ridden."

Yancey says she's "not on the same page" with those complaining.

"I'm not upset. I feel like it was a blessing if they really are Dilla's," she said. "I'm not angry about it at all. I'm grateful. (Bubeck) has done nothing wrong, he just acquired something that seemed to be useful to a lot of people."

The two plan to look over the content together to determine whether they were indeed Dilla's; if so, they want to create a certificate of authenticity for the records. And Bubeck plans to donate some of the proceeds from the sale to Dilla's family and the J Dilla Foundation.

Wow! It’s amazing how a story can twist and turn. It’s also amazing the amount of people that think they know what is best for Mrs. Yancey (Ma Dukes) and the J Dilla Foundation based on little and some inaccurate information.

We have been in contact with the J Dilla Foundation. We are doing exactly as Mrs. Yancey wishes. The foundation needs help and we are helping.

The complete story will be out soon. In the meantime the few records that were in the store have been removed due to the overwhelming amount of calls. They are back where we found them and Mrs. Yancey put them years ago. They eventually will be offered again for sale to benefit the Foundation, again based on her wishes. The personal property was never and will never be offered for sale. Mrs. Yancey will decide what to do with that.

Anyone with such strong opinions that have posted here and on various web sites obviously really care about J Dillas legacy. In addition to all the verbal support, I’m sure the foundation would gladly accept your financial support. We have provided the link below.
