As I look at my son sleeping on the couch I realize his MOMS just lost her baby boy. His 2 children lost their dad. My heart goes out to them 1st & foremost. As far as the music goes, I'll ALWAYS wonder what if.

yeah, i been thinking lately like what would a jimi hendrix have sounded like if he hadn't passed so early. i mean he was also just starting to take his music to a whole new direction, and all we're left with is a foretaste of that. i think that just like jimi, dilla was a genius and a true visionary, and it'll be a long time before we see the next one.

I am a grown man and I feel like crying..... I never even met this yancey dude I listen to stuff inspired by him everyday.. he is at the heart of every beat I make. Damn that story hits u right in the kidneys
In the last days of his life, as he shuffled up and down the hallway, he had heart-to-heart chats with his mother. They were quick. But they were thoughtful.
"You know I love you, right?" he said. "And I appreciate everything you've ever done for me."
"You don't have to say that," she said.
He and his mother had developed a ritual that preceded medical procedures: They'd slap high-fives, an indication that everything was going to be OK.
At home, the day after his birthday, he held his hand up for his mom to meet it in midair.
She was puzzled. There was no procedure that day. Why was he doing this?
He continued to motion for her to high-five him, refusing to stop until her hand met his.
Finally, she relented and gave it to him.
"That's what I'm talking about," he said. "We're in this together. It's all good. You're going to be all right. I promise you it's going to be all right."
That will make any grown man cry. I don't know what else to say.
