Sad day if he did. Wouldn't be surprised either because hes supposedly been very sick for a while.
-
its not on the okayplayer homepage just the forum, ???
-
didnt his album just drop?
-
hope this isnt true..
-
i know that there was story floating around that he was dead a while ago and it wasn´t true so maybe this is just some BS?
[edit]my boy just hit me on MSN and said that he got a mail sayin that Dilla´s really dead. sad shit if it´s really true coz he got some fire beats.
-
looks like its true...its all over myspace and apparently T3 of Slum Village has a message on his myspace site telling the news...
damn...R.I.P. to one of the best ever... :'(

Legendary producer Jay Dee of late '90's Detroit rap trio Slum Village has just passed.
Jay-Dee has produced such classics as "The Light" by Common, "Stakes is High" by De La Soul, Woo Hahh (remix) by Busta Rhymes feat. ODB and countless others.
He has also produced originals and remixes over the last 12 years for artists such as D' Angelo, Janet jackson, The Pharcyde, a Tribe Called Quest and many many others.
Jay Dee recently released an all instrumental album titled "Donuts" on indie hip-hop label Stones Throw.
Jay Dee passed around 8:00 this morning at his home in California of a bone marrow disease. James (J-Dilla) Yancey will forever be remembered as one of the greatest producers in Hip-Hop.
We'd like to send our condolences to Jay Dee's family, Rest In Peace homie.

Hip-Hop producer/MC Jay Dee, also known as J Dilla, has reported passed away earlier today (February 10) in a hospital in Los Angeles, due to liver complications.
The beatmaker has been sick for an unspecified amount of time. His latest album, Donuts, was released earlier this week.
Dilla, who was a founding member of Slum Village and a member of A Tribe Called Quest's production team The Ummah, is best known for producing tracks for Busta Rhymes, Common, De La Soul, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, and The Pharcyde.
Dilla has more recently worked with Ghostface Killah, Kanye West on Com's critically acclaimed album Be, as well as Champion Sound with fellow quirky producer Madlib.
Besides Donuts, he released another solo LP, Welcome To Detroit, in 2001, and has another album dropping later this year on Stones Throw Records.
Longtime fan Pharrell of The Neptunes, has gone on record calling Dilla one of his "favorite producers of all time."
Jay Dee will be sorely missed. SOHH will be sure to provide you with more information as it becomes available.
