As it so happens, I started watching Samurai Champloo recently. Cool to see people pay their respects to this man.
Damn, I'll be around the east coast at the time but there's no way I'm going to be able to show up on a Thursday in DC during school in this weather. I know it's his birthday but I wish they could've pushed it a week back or two. Ah well, hope someone here at Jtor manages to show up.
AHHHHH!!!! if only i lived in DC..... i really wish i could have gone, I respect Nujabes so much for his work, and i freaking love Emancipator too. my thoughts will be there though, RIP nujabes
As a fellow Beatmaker (though, still in training), Hip Hop aficionado and all around true music lover, I was honestly quite devastated when i heard of Nujsbes' (aka Jun Seba) death last March.
It was back in 2004 that i first watched Samurai Champloo and from the opening credits seen the name NUJABES.. and man all i knew was that damned intro song "Battlecry" was the dopest, flyest joint i heard in a looooong time and scouring the 'net for this "Nujabes" cat officially introduced me to Japanese Hip Hop. yeah, 2004 but hey, better late than never. Within a few months of acquiring his albums, he became one of my favorite artists (hip hop or otherwise) as well as one of my heroes.
i don't want this comment to turn into a damn article (cause i could talk about this all day LOL), but i've said it before and i'll say it again.. we lost a true musical "Gem", a true master of the hip hop craft no matter what culture he hailed from.
I'm from NYC so i'll check the dates and times of this event and i'll try my best to make it. it'd be so awesome if i could.

If I lived in DC I would be there. Hopefully Nujabes' frequent collaborator Shing02 will do a tribute show in L.A. or the Bay Area as well. Shing02 lives in Japan and in Oakland so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to do a show out west.
