Busta and Jay Electronica were never booked for dilla day. the promoter pulled the wool over our eyes. I was at the show. my friend was an MC performing that night (not naming names). They just put them on the flier and promoted the show, then attempted to contact busta and Jay's management, but never actually booked them. a lot of detroiters were pissed that they were played like that. thats how JT (the promoter in the video) runs his biz.
He's (JT) the one that needs to be blamed for this album sounding the way it does. Not ma dukes, not the fact dilla has passed...JT fucked it up with his politics. If stones throw, house shoes, wajeed, kareem riggins, etc.. would have put it together it would be solid. Not the best Dilla album, and not as good as albums Dilla made himself, but it wouldnt have sounded like this.
PS - If you really want to support Dillas mom and put bread in her pocket, mail her a check. This album was made for her, but she isnt getting %100 of the money. JT is getting his cut, they have to recoup expenses, and im sure some of the artist were paid. So, shes probably only getting a percentage. Like HouseShoes said on twitter... when JT called shoes to talk about Rebirth when it was first started, JT said "I'm going to make millions off this, and so should you." and shoes said fuckthat
