In a 2012 XXL interview, Questlove, a close friend and collaborator of Dilla’s, said “Don’t Cry” was a message to his mother.
Possible message from Dilla:
After he has passed, don’t mourn his death. Celebrate his contributions to Detroit, hip-hop, music, and the world. This album especially – Jay Dee’s final masterpiece (he was probably aware it was so as he was making it).
Rest in peace James Dewitt Yancey.
Samples “I Can’t Stand (To See You Cry)” by The Escorts.
