    Let's also honor the creator and innovator of this wonderful piece of music..AHMAD JAMAL...As of this writing he is 92 years old. This peice is called "Swahili-land" and he released it in 1974. Please pray for him, he is truly a musical treasure.

      Q-Tip observed many years ago that MCs do the same thing, lyrically, that jazz musicians do melodically. Love and appreciation to jazz MASTERS like Bro. Ahmad Jamal for laying down the REAL blueprint. Many of us Tru headz love Hip Hop and straight ahead jazz too.

    Leaving the open seat with the Cello for Dilla was amazing. He grew up on that instrument and a ear for music. One day people will realise what real music is too much materialism and greed but the world will reap what it's sown Realist lyrics.
