Slumdog T-Shirt (Slum Village/Dilla Tribute) from Motivation
With the recent passing of Slum Village member Baatin, we at Motivation and our partner Mick Boogie wanted to pay tribute to one of Detroit’s finest hip hop groups ever. The Slumdog t-shirt is done in classic Run DMC styling, but we flipped the iconic logo to stand for Slum Village. Proceeds from the sale of this t-shirt will be donated directly to the families of Baatin & J Dilla

HAPPY DILLA DAY!!!!!!!
James Dewitt Yancey (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006),[1] better known by his stage name J Dilla or Jay Dee, was an American record producer who emerged from the mid-1990s underground hip hop scene in Detroit, Michigan. He began his career as a member of the group Slum Village, and was also a driving force in the production trio The Ummah. Yancey started his career under the name Jay Dee (based on his initials) but used the name J Dilla from 2001 onward. Many critics believe J Dilla's work to have had a major influence on his peers[2] and that he embodied the neo soul sound, playing a defining yet understated role during the sub-genre's rise (roughly from the mid-90s to the early 2000s).
J Dilla was often dubbed "your favorite producer's favorite producer," and was highly regarded by hip hop artists and producers such as Madlib, Pete Rock, Common, Busta Rhymes, Mos Def, Pharrell, Waajeed, Karriem Riggins, Flying Lotus, 9th Wonder [3], A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Kanye West, and ?uestlove.[1] About.com ranked J Dilla #15 on their "Top 50 Hip-Hop Producers" list.[4]
Ultimately, his death has had a significant impact on the hip hop community.[19] Besides countless tribute tracks and concerts, Dilla's death created a wealth of interest in his remaining catalogue, and, consequently, Dilla's influence on hip hop production became more apparent.[1]
Dave Chappelle gives a special dedication to J Dilla on his movie Dave Chappelle's Block Party, by stating "This film is dedicated to the life and memory of Music Producer J Dilla, aka Jay Dee (James D. Yancey)". The film focuses mostly on members of the Soulquarians, a collective of hip-hop musicians of which Yancey was also a member.
In May 2006, J Dilla's mother announced the creation of "The J Dilla Foundation'", which will work to cure lupus.[1]
J Dilla leaves behind two daughters.[20]
In February 2007, a year after his death, J Dilla posthumously received the Plug Award's Artist of the Year as well as the award for Record Producer of the Year
