First and Foremost, R.I.P J. Dilla...




















I just want to give at least a brief mention to an incredible producer who passed way too young this weekend, Jay Dee, aka J. Dilla, from Detroit. This is the man who created some of the most soulful hip-hop beats of the past ten years and worked with an incredible array of artists, from Common to Slum Village to Jaylib and beyond. His unique sound added so much to the hip-hop landscape and influenced producers all over the world. Much respect, dude.

In other news....
In case you haven't noticed, New York City is completely blanketed with two feet of snow. The New York City Department of Education is holding me by the balls, not telling the public if they are canceling school tomorrow. You may be wondering: But Justin, you are not a schoolchild, why do you care if the schools are canceled? Well, my office, due to it having many employees with young children, closes whenever the schools do. New York City schools are notorious for staying open...but we broke a record today folks, 26.9 inches. So lets give the people a break.

Power to the people...viva long weekend...
