	Jam Master Jay Tributes
		Jay wasn't slowing down, this wasn't a case of an "old school legend" being murdered, but rather the end of a dynamic, untouchable DJ who's impact on the game was still as dynamic as ever.
		Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay were the trailblazers and as I grew up, I got to watch them "lay down law, from state to state." As I've gotten older, their music has been a constant.From 1983 to 1986 they accomplished more in hip-hop than most artists in their whole career.
		Jam Master Jay will be missed and I send my regards to his wife, three children, and all those that were touched at some point in time with his greatness and kindness.
