I forgot to celebrate #DillaDay on #Mastodon 😭

Let us rectify that, and this video. Dilla never had a pop hit? How about Eryka Badus "Didn't Cha know"? Or how about Q-Tips "Breathe and stop"? Well, maybe not pop hits...

Ofc he was the producer of The Pharcyde, did De La Souls "Breakadawn" and a fair deal of Slum Village...

In any case, few modern composers revolutionized modern music like he did - and you probably didn't even know how important he was.

#Musk, #Trump & Co proves one thing with finality: #Idolization is bad for #psyche.

Of course it rears its ugly head when times are tough and people need someone to look up to, someone to imprint on.

But as has been proven time and time again, idolizing the rich and powerful is a really bad idea.

Not that it's all bad. Friday was #DillaDay and if anyone deserved to be idolized it's someone like him. But of course, he was a genius composer and an artist and not an #oligarch or a #president.

@brianpjcronin @palapid we got #DillaDay on Feb 7 and now #DeLaSoulDay on 3/3. #HipHopFeastDays all year round

Thank you so much @RollingStone for honoring my son today. His legacy lives on in this personally curated collection as a gift to his fans ❤️ jdillalegacy.xyz #DillaDay
