Shyne the next time one of your closest friends dies with a mountain of hospital bills and you fundraise for his mom maybe I’ll accuse your stupid fuckin ass of tryin to profit off of his death.

How the fuck would that make you feel you disrespectful shit stain?

Big props on using the word nigger three times in your shitty attempt at critical thinking.

Location is not an issue, as long as the cause is supported. I myself, would love for it to be in his, my, home city. MADLIB, Common, Slum, Frank and Dank perferomed here recently. It was the best. I could feel Dilla in the air.

Come on why do you have to hate on the cause ppl. Always assuming the neg. You only assume what your forethought would do.

Send e-mails to those artist to do a tour, I’m quite sure the local groups like Little Brother and Slum and Madlib would enjoy the love since they were closest to him.

Yo Shine, thanks for the public service warning dawg. i guess you’re right – the Roots (and those other no-names) pro’ly wouldn’t have sold out RCMH if they weren’t pushing this as a Dilla benefit.

Also, only time will tell if your head collapses on itself for lack of content. Good Luck.

How much ya money do you think these niggers will give to the family? I would like to know how much of the proceeds go to his mother/family, and see if these roots niggers are trying to profit on dilla. Only time will tell what these niggers have in there hearts.

NOBODY should complain about making money when it comes to doing something big for Dilla. This man made ALOT of heads sound extra good over the years and should DEFINITELY be sent off right with alot of people getting involved without personally profitting from it. This should be the biggest jump off and EVERYONE needs to be there. Check my Dilla “memory mix” at http://www.hiphopmusic.com. Peace.

Honestly, I think it’s a wonderful enough thing to have such a benefit concert at all, let alone in a particular place. Their hearts are in the right place, they can probably make a lot of money doing this in NY, I don’t think it’s worth complaining about location at a time like this.

there should be more dilla benefits, people like busta rhymes, talib, pete rock, slumvillage, madlib should join forces to setup a benefit tour. Dilla’s mother still needs money to pay off the hospitall bills.
