Long Overdue Dilla story

Lots of plusses to workin where I work. I dig that. One of them being, they're open to anything. I could pitch a story on new makes of tampons and they'd at least listen. But perhaps, a downside is that we're in Florida, which -- other than Miami of course -- happens to be one of the squarest states that shouldnt be square. For instance, Mississippi and Bama and Kentucky and the Dakotas -- theyre supoosed to be square. Florida? Not so much. But it is. Thats probably why the Dilla story I wrote close to a month ago just got published and my editor had to keep telling me to watch my language and remember my audience (he was absolutely right by the way. I was writing sentences like: "Niggas that knew Hop was like, "Yo, Dilla's gone? That's F'd up. How come lupus couldn't merk Swizz or Mannie?" On more than one occassion he said some of my sentences or paragrafs sounded like blog-riffs, which I found interesting. So naturally, there are parts of the story where niggas might read it an be like, "Vince, why did you just call Busta Rhymes, "Rhymes", like thats his last name?"

Anyways, expect more music, culture stories out of me in the future. And since one of the reasons I began this blog (check my very first post), was to hit yall with a story every now and then to see what I'm up to, check it out...RIP Dilla
