At first, they were just crates full of records, numbering in the thousands. But after digging through their contents, Jeff Bubeck learned he'd stumbled upon something special: what he says is the personal record collection of late Detroit hip-hop producer J Dilla.
Bubeck, one of the owners of Royal Oak record store UHF, is selling the records in his store. They come with yellow tags that identify them as part of Dilla's personal stash.
"Is it even possible?" That was Bubeck's first reaction when he learned the 7,000-8,000 records he acquired from an abandoned storage unit in Clinton Township last month may have belonged to Dilla, the celebrated producer and founding member of Slum Village who died in 2006 at age 32 due to complications from lupus.

not that they're an authority or anything
he's donating some of the proceeds to her and her foundation.Dilla's mother also told the Detroit News she did not share in the negative reaction that many people have had to the sale of the records. "I'm not upset", she said. "[Bubeck] has done nothing wrong, he just acquired something that seemed to be useful to a lot of people."

i thought the story said that he wanted to give it to ma dukes "charity" but she wasn't answering phone calls.Versive wrote:Should've given them to the family or donated them to charity. Capitalist pig.
notice that they aren't going to sell the dilla tapes found in the stash; that'll probably be his upcoming posthumous albums for the next decade.
