"Dilla Awarness Movement"
I don't know if this will work, but we need to flood BET's inboxes and let them know that they need to acknowledge this dude.
I know the OK artist know the contacts for Stephen Hill or whoever, they should just put them out so we can individually call and let them know even though BET refuses to acknowledge, the rest of the world knows something they don't.
I say this, not because I think Dilla deserve fames now that he's passed, but because I've read so many ignorant posts saying "Dilla??? Who He? How many records did he sell??" and bullshit like that. Now I wasn't a big dilla fan, I liked his work but I wasn't fanatical like some others who like his work. BUT ONE THING IS SURE, an isolated spectrum of the hip hop world shouldn't be the only people who know and value his incredible work.
At the end of the day, Dilla is your favourite producers, producer and I really hope others will realize that.
So if anyone has BET, MTV, Much Music or any other contacts; we should organize, create form letters and ship as many as possible so people recognize J Dillas important contribution and his place in history.
