why do they make this guy a god?
he was ok but not even top 10 imo i didn't like too many songs produced by him
no disrespect since he's dead tho i'm just sayin
I've tried to understand it myself. I think I got a grip on it. For the record he's in my top 5 producers ever. It's one of those things where even though everyone can have an opinion...they sort of can't.
I feel both ways. I think Dilla is every bit as good as people say he is, but there's no doubt that he was over-hyped by hipsters after he died.
The reason why I have to say he's arguably the GOAT producer, no matter what people think about him, is that he literally is like everyone's favorite producer's favorite producer.
When your idol Pete Rock ends up telling you that you surpassed him, you're amazing. Kanye, Premier, RZA, Pete Rock, Questlove, Madlib, 9th Wonder, Nottz, Khrysis, Common, Badu, Q-Tip, Busta..the list goes on and on of producers and rappers that have pretty much gone on and on about him being the best ever.
This was before he died too. A lot of people became prisoners of the moment after he died, but before he died, he was arguably the most respected producer in the game.
I mean he was doing joints Janet Jackson, Biggie, Common, and everyone in between.
It's like if someone says Illmatic isn't good. Sure, people can have that opinion, but 99% of everyone is going to take it as a troll opinion.
