Hey, not for anything, but who the fuck kills Jam Master Jay? I'm positive it's an industry-motivated killing (what other reason would someone have for busting into a recording studio and whacking him in the head, then walking out? I'm not saying it's an East/West thing, probably just some ass who couldn't get a record deal). But this guy was a hip-hop pioneer. On a list of names of people who did a lot for rap, Jay's comes pretty close to the top. And a turntabilist pioneer, right up there with Afrika Bambatta. If I'm right, and this was somebody in the industry, wtf?

I just saw Jay when he presided over the National DMC tournament this year, just a month or so ago at the Roxy. We'll miss you, Jay."
