James "J-Dilla" Yancey
Your music has influenced and inspired so many. You've really inspired me. I remember that I used to imitate you but then out of that emerged my distinct sound...my own style. Thanks for doing what you did. I remember being over at "Studio A" when you were doing "Like Water For Chocolate." Simply amazing! I remember when you started doing the synth beats and all that. I walked in the basement one day like, "What the hell is that?" It was so much different than what you had done previously. I didn't know that you would be great at that too. You started entire musical movements with something that you did because you loved it. You will be greatly missed. Music will never be the same without you.
Sounds Like: You tell me!
