has music ever helped u thru a rough situation?
have u ever gotten an idea for a grand scheme while listening to music?
have u ever fell in love with someone while listening to music..?

c'mon sis.....
u not making sense.....
how does a musician changing a listener's life make them unlearned, oppurtunistic or disingenious..

if dilla changed his life....its his life.....not yours...
