The Sad But Happy, February 7th

Nikko February 7, 2012 Hip-Hop/Rap, Music No Comments

Sad, because it involves 3 late musicians, all who made huge impacts in the music culture. Both Seba Jun, better known as Nujabes, and James Yancey, better known as J Dilla, were both born on this day (the same day, in 1974 to be exact). Rapper Big Pun passed on this day, but to think that a day can mean so much to fans worldwide should not go unnoticed. Take a few moments of silence for these men, and think about how fragile life is. None of these men even made it to their 40′s, but they left an impact that will live within the hearts of people forever. They say you die twice – once, when your heart stops beating, and again when your name is said for the last time. In that case, these men will never die.
