Mikey: Feb 7th will forever be a somber and bittersweet day in Hip-Hop. The day marks the passing of the late Big Pun and the birthday of the also deceased J-Dilla. These two Hip-Hop figures both in their own respect were responsible for influencing some many and creating their own lanes in the game. Here are a few reminders of the greatness that Big Pun and J-Dilla brought to Hip-Hop. (RIP Big Pun & J-Dilla)
