Who are you guys rooting for?

or

I’m a Chargers fan so I don’t really care who wins. I like Peyton Manning but he already has a ring and I feel that New Orleans really deserves a championship. When these teams were undefeated in the season, I knew they would be the teams playing each other in the Super Bowl. Throughout the day, I’ll be posting the best commercials they air.

I can honestly say that Dilla influenced my style greatly and not be your average backpack rap bandwagon Dilla fan. I first fell in love with hip hop around 2003 when I was in the 5th grade. “The World Is Yours” by NaS (produced by Pete Rock) was what made me want to look up production credits and more of the history behind songs. One of my favorite hip hop songs back then was “Runnin” by the Pharcyde and thats when I first heard of J Dilla. Here’s some of my favorite joints from the GOAT producer
