The bolded is all that matters and you have stated that opinion over and over.....so clearly you are in here to troll or to provoke people who are fans of his work...move on

RIP to Dilla and this is a great honor and speaks volumes to how much his work is respected by not just the rap, but the music world


i would move on if crybabys like you would keep your mouth shut and stop gettin butthurt about it and realize people can have opinions that don't agree with yours

Dilla ghosted a lot of shyt Q got credit for.

Very obvious tho...

From "The Show" OST....

The producer credit is listed as Q-Tip...but that sounds like a Dilla beat IMO. But then again Q's production style was pretty similar to Dilla's at this time so I wouldn't be surprised if their styles rubbed off on one another.

Tribe fell off when they worked with him imo

Mm was theyre last great album

I honestly think that was just a progression of their sound IMHO.

Tribe was always on that next level tip anyways...Dilla just helped the take it to that level.

The Ummah as Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, and Jay Dee/J Dilla is probably one of the more potent production outfit's in hip-hop.

Even though it was pretty much Dilla behind it all really.

One of the undisputed GOAT Producers period.

People don't even understand that dude was a pioneer when he came out cause he was the first the bridge the gap between the digitaland analog era in production. Before you even had people like Timbaland and Swizz Beats using synths and keyboards with drum machines in the late 90s and moving away from sampling, Dilla did it in the mid 90s and set the tone for the rest of the decade and the production style within hip-hop. He had an understanding about music in general I feel that a lot of people did not. While many were sampling very well known records, he was always about either tweaking familiar samples to the point of they were unrecognizable or taking obscure records and adding his touch to it. I was a fan of his when no one even cared about Dilla as a household name like that...as someone who listened to Slum Village through college radio shows in the late 90s...his synth sub bassy type of style kind of just hit me. You either like his stuff or you don't. It's not worth fighting over...it's all about recognizing that man's impact on the game.
Damn I have to spread rep to 30 before I can rep you again, dope post.

The irony is the haters always say he is overrated because they don't know his work yet he is exalted in rap. By definition a non star with a critical acclaim can't be overatted because he is still largely unknown. His music was larger than him and his influence sparked many styles. Wether you know his music or not he has affected hip hop more than you're aware just respect that fact and stop trying to play counter clowns for the sake it. Nas at Harvard, Dilla at the Smithsonian... Wins for the culture fukk your irrelevant opinions :pacspit:

Yep plus tribe/Tip and Ali were shackled by the increasing sample laws, that's one of the main reasons they added Dilla because of the way he could sample/ get around poltics by disguising and chopping.

Dilla was ill but I cant put him top 5..He never produced a whole classic album like Rza or Havoc or Dre or Premier

Fantastic Vol. 2 is classic. Just cause it wasn't on the level of The Chronic or 36 Chambers doesn't make it less classic. And he produced that whole album.

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.

He was a great producer but god he's overrated. It's kinda funny he has Moog and never released electronic music from what I know.

He and Madlib both have electronic albums they did that never came out. There were periods where Dilla put a lot of electronic shyt into his beats, but I mean a straight up house/electronic album.

Low key too a lot of Dilla's later work is heavily inspired by Madlib. If you go listen to Jaylib, the joints that sound like later Dilla-era beats are Madlib's beats. I thought a lot of Donuts was heavy on Madlib style.

those off-beat drums :blessed:

the synths and basslines :blessed:

those extra crisp kicks and snares :blessed:

the chops :banderas:



if dilla aint in your top 5 u lost


Yep. 9th Wonder said it real good. he was like "if you hear a clap for a snare drum, that's all because of Dilla."
