In the wake of the untimely deaths of J Dilla and Pimp C, Pete Rock -- hip-hop producer extraordinaire -- speaks on the two icons who have since gone to a better place.
PETE ROCK ON J DILLA:
"Dilla that dude man. He was just the best person to know. Like, f*ck the beats. He was a good dude. But like the beats, when we would conversate he told me everything like 'I was trying to be you' and 'You were my favorite.' And his mother told me. When his mother told me, I really believed it then. You know moms isn’t going to lie. But he invited me to his home in Detroit and we chilled out and stayed at his house. Me and my little brother. He would let me stay in his basement and break out and not come back for hours. He would just have me in there like do what you want to do Pete. That was beautiful and it stuck with me and kept our relationship important. He was Muhammad Ali on the beats. He was it. It’s sad that he’s gone because he was well needed. I just wish his physical was still here."
PETE ROCK ON PIMP C:
"Yeah, it was really sad to hear that. I was really blown away by that. He just got out of jail. You know? It’s just like damn! You never know when your time is going to come. You got to live life to the fullest man. Big condolences go out to him and his family man. Big shouts to Bun B, you know big respects. Hold ya head. He’s in a better place now."
In the up-coming interview Pete also discusses that state of hip-hop, new projects with LL Cool J and Jadakiss, what he thinks of Kanye calling himself "the new Pete Rock" and much more.
