Ch-chea...chea! My ipod playlist, rip Jay Dee

I'm back on the scene....i'm ovaltine hot! What it do good folks? This is S.D. Cap coming back at you. Man its been a minute since i've been on the blog. I've been busy, but i'm back now with a few insightful words as always.

So what's in your rotation or on your ipod? Right now i'm rocking the Library of a Legend, Soulful Genuis Jay Dee edition. For those of you aren't familiar with the library of a legend series, these are compilations of songs from legendary hip hop artist. Of course these aren't mainstream cd's you can pick up in your stores, but if you plug away on the net in the right circle you'll find someone who has a disc or two and you can start collecting them that way. If you're lucky you'll find someone who has all of them and you can hook it up that way. Anyway Jay-Z has a collection of 10 disc. Nas has a collection of about 6 disc. And Jay Dee...God rest his soul, is now included in the collection. He has about 12 disc of songs that he produced, either on his own, with the ummah, or songs that he rocked over with his former group Slum Village. So that's the main thing that i'm rocking right now. I've only been able to hunt down about 6 of the disc out of the collection. That's about 100 plus songs right now. So what you rockin' to?

Let me change tunes real quick. I want to take a moment to commemorate the life and times of Jay Dee aka Jay Dilla. For those of ya'll who don't know who Jay Dee was, he was a great producer who worked with the likes of Tribe called quest, common, busta rhymes, and erykah badu. He was also at one time a member of Slum Village. He passed away this week and I just want to pay my respects. Go out and grab some of his music and keep his legacy alive ya'll!
