Has J Dilla's death changed your outlook on diet?

Taken from AllHipHop.com

"What happened was that the doctor told me that I'd ruptured my kidney from being too busy and being stressed out and not eating right," J-Dilla told Urb. "He told me that if I'd waited another day, I might not have made it.

"Sometimes that fixation can be a good thing and sometimes it can be bad. There'd be days when I wouldn't eat at all because I'd be in the basement working all day," said Jay Dee. "This is definitely my second chance, my wakeup call. I still love the music, but I wouldn't put it first in my life. It's family first - and then everything else."

When I read that, it scared the shyt outta me. Because that is me, litteraly! On weekends and some days throughout the week, I wake up in the morning and go right to the MPC and wont eat until maybe that night. Its like when Im zoning, I dont get hungry. Ever since Dilla's passing, Im trying to make a consious effort to force my self to eat. I've been having lower abdomen pains for the past few months, but it could be all in my mind. Im going to the doc to get it checked out though.


I have mad love for what I do, but I need to stay alive if I want to continue.

Have any of you taken your living and eating habits into consideration? Especially since Dilla's passing?

On some real sh*t, see a doctor quickly! That is not good. Try snacking on fruit and healthy sh*t while you work.

But to answer your ?? no, it hasn't affected me, I do my best to live a healthy lifestyle.
 
nah, I haven't really changed my habits since Dilla's death.

I've always tried to lead a healthy life. Lots of poultry, not too much red meat, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and lots of water and juices.


I notice myself not eating alot of times cuz I'm in the lab, and by the time I come out, I only have time to grab some fast food, or nothing at all. I've made a conscious effort to stop that. I always eat before I go in the lab, and take like some pretzels or something to snack on while i'm there.


Seeing Timbo in Fade 2 Black scared me. Literally. I always knew that producing was a sit down job that encouraged unhealthy eating, and I've tried to develop good habits NOW to avoid that. But seeing Timbo's big tub-o-lard ass in that huge sweat suit scared me completely strait.
 
I wake up, make my own orange juice get some bread some water, have a good breakfast.

After that I start living unhealthy :( - No really this past year I've been working on living healthier I just gotta get like 20 monkeys of my back in the process.
 
To be honest with you.. its like give or take with me.

I've gone through my bodybuilding phase, where I would work out everyday right after work, eating healthy and all that. But, by the time that was all done, I'd have no urge to sit down in the lab. Honestly, all Id want to do is call my girl, get some cut-up and go to sleep. LOL

Then, when I dont eat right or work out, its usually because Im in the lab. And usually my music is at its best during this time.
 
I eat good anyways. I don't buy junk food. THere's no point. I'm fukked up enough as it is without putting poison in my body.
(If I"m gonna do that it's at least got to give me some kind of a buzz!)

I exercise fairly regularly when time permits.

ONly things I need to work on is my trouble sleeping at night and the mental/spiritual health.

The more healthy and balanced life we all lead, the better our work is gonna be. simple and plain
 
About two weaks ago I was rushed to the ER at 3 AM cause of Chronic Migranes and Dehydration cause of **** like this.

I don't know about the rest of you but I 'm told that I take this stuff to seriously. Its the fact that when i'm sleepin and what not other ppl are up and doing there thing, Improving, grindin.... that mess gets to me so I push myself to hard.(physically/mentally)


o'well that's just the lyfe we lead The day I checked out I wen't right back to sampling and tweaking. music means to much to me to stop for anything yo. I just have to take breaks, eat something and relax my mind now and then.
 
i'm not eating healthy at all. i'm making some the best music of my life tho. i'm trying to stay spiritually healthy as well. i'm doing better on that as of late and i have a couple of close friends like allenboy who i find myself feeling spiritually accountable to. as far as physically acountable.. i have no one because i usually find the catalysts i need to live and eat healthy in relationships and i dont really have myself focused on an exclusive relationship at the time. i dont think imma make it through the summer as a bachelor tho so i might get my situps game tight.

this really isnt because of dilla tho.

he affected me more musically than lifestyle wise.
 
ive always had stomache problems since i was young ive had bad eating habits...n last septemeber i had surgery because it turned out dat i had an ulcer...got it from bad eatin habits n too much stress...kontak u should really get ur stomache checked out becuase dat is gonna be a huge problem for u in da long run....but to answer ur questions it hasnt changed my eating habits now but it has motivated me to keep eating healthy now since dilla passed....
 
I don't take as good as care of myself as I should... things gotta change. Stress really is a killer!
 
I dont eat vegatables at all apart from green peppers and potatoes(they dont count). but i eat a lot of pasta, breads, cereal, meats etc. However i am sittin at my PC about 16 hours a day without fail when im not workin and eatin alot of chocolate etc so maybe im gonna be in trouble soon. Plus i had a suspected stomache ulser a few years back so this thread has made me think rather than Dillas Death.

The really bad thing is i aint gonna change as my will power about everything apart from puttin in effort musically is **** and id stop eating junk food for like 2 days and then id be back on it again.

Timbo is now the new schwarzeneger tho so theres hope for us all.

I've had fun with medical ails.

-Brain aneurysm at the age of six. 60% fatality chance, 20% chance of living with major brain damage, and 20% chance of living without major effects. Which reminds me I need to catch a CAT scan before I turn 21 to check for signs of another.

-I found out I was lactose intolerant, no biggie. I can eat dairy but it has to be around 1/6 dairy to 1/5 other items together. I ate a bunch of ice cream when I was 16 and **** blood for two weeks. Had to get a finger up the ass. Almost got a camera following it.

-Got ****ed up and recieved a concussion in a ****ty small Alaskan city. Also a few years before I got my eyesocket cracked up.

-I'm legally blind. Which means without the aid of lenses (hard contacts for me) I can't see enough to function. And also major astigmatism and they think I might have macular degeneration (blind by 75 or so, no biggie).

-I've been having major acid reflux for around six months and get the privilege of recieving an endoscopy in a week or two. YEAH FUN.

I'm not too worried about not eating right, haha.
 
People...you have GOT to take care of yourselves. Seriously. You gotta be alive to make this music. If you're dead, you can't make beetz.


If you can't cook nothing but hot dogs and microwave meals, then learn how to cook. It's not hard. All it takes is some imagination.

Live on chicken and fish. Don't eat the red meat all that much. Have a green vegetable with dinner. Give up the carbonated drinks, and drink PLENTY of water. Cranberry and Grapefruit juice work great too. On top of keeping the urinary tract so fresh and so clean, it boosts your immune system. I drink about a bottle of cranberry juice per week, and I'm NEVER sick.

Give up the fast food. That stuff will KILL you. Every once in a while is cool. But not every meal.

Again...learn to cook. It's cheaper, healthier, and CHICKS LOVE IT!!!!
