Some of Dilla’s most famous works were made in his state of ill-health. Donuts, widely considered to be Dilla’s signature work, as legend has it, was made on his death bed.

This is also a play on “ill” to describe the music and also relating to Jay Dee’s illness, and possibly a nod to Dilla’s brother’s stage name, Illa J.

Hadiya Pendleton and Trayvon Martin were two children whose deaths became widely publicized legal cases in Chicago and Florida respectively.

Most people know the story of Trayvon Martin; however, the story of Hadiya Pendleton regards a teenage girl who was accidentally shot and killed during a drive-by shooting in Kenwood on the South Side. Her death brought the issue of Illinois’s gun laws to the attention of politicians including Barack Obama, who felt for his home city and for Hadiya herself, who had performed with her school group at his inauguration just one week before her death.

This could be a woman (and maybe The Streets) that has not yet been exposed to the truth and is not aware of what’s really going on around her. So MYH sees that she’s oblivious and spoils her to keep her happy.

This could also be heard as:

  • “She doesn’t seed; therefore, I soil”

The woman he’s with doesn’t give him much, so he works (and probably messes with other women) elsewhere.

  • “She doesn’t seed; therefore, I spawn”

He can’t spread his work using her so he has to make his army grow in other ways, effectively “spawning” more soldiers.
