He had a unique sound and approach to production that has had a lasting impact on the music industry. Here are some of the ways J Dilla impacted music:
You never know the amount of difference you could make within a community — within the world — without trying first.
Growing up in the mountains offered me a unique perspective on life and an appreciation for the outdoors. From a young age, I was taught about the importance of preserving nature for future generations.
Student-athletes at the University of Richmond do not have permitted access to all of the parking lots on campus during the day. This causes a time constraint that often makes them late to class or causes them to skip meals.
Why didn’t the URPD contact students when there was a person with a knife on campus?
When legendary producer Madlib creates and voices an imaginary friend who materializes as a furry, yellow, cigarette-smoking, pig-snouted aardvark and proceeds to converse with it for an hour on his 2000 record “The Unseen,” it’s pretty sick.
It’s textbook topical burnout, the same phenomenon that I felt at the end of high school, when I realized that I couldn’t stomach one more thousand-page fantasy epic.

Hypothetically, if UR were to rebrand and get a new mascot what should it be? The squirrel, the owl, dhall cat, the geese, or something totally diff?
Yes, it’s that time of year again. Grocery store displays become bombarded with red roses, pink packaged candies make their way into every checkout line and things become heart-shaped that definitely shouldn’t be.
One of the first things I’ll say is that it may not be easy. Whether it’s a breakup with a boyfriend or personal family conflicts, college life seems more challenging while navigating relationships.
We can’t keep having marches that lead to nothing. We need to draw from a model of radical change that presents a framework for solutions.
How do you stop yourself from crying when you think about graduation? Also, how many tickets do we get?
As a rule, I try not to think about my regrets too often, but there are actually several things I wish I would have done differently during my time at the University of Richmond.
