Yup. I was going to post this earlier and got side tracked. James "John Doe/Jay Dee/J Dilla" Yancey died in LA. The cause of death has been listed in the news as either kidney failure, liver failure, or bone marrow disease (i.e. still unknown). This is a great loss for the world of music. I've only met him in passing maybe 10 years ago, but the impact his music has had on me is quite significant.
RIP dude. You've earned your peace. -----Original Message----- From: Sam K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 6:19 PM To: list Subject: (313) j dilla dies?
