Not a really a big fan but he's a top 3 sampler. Some of the stuff he did is amazin'

After checking these links I think the alchemist takes what dilla did to the next level

thank you. he's one of those people that white people gravitate to because they feel not enough Black people are hip and they are starved to be in on something that everybody else aint.
Like Tech 9. I respect his hustle, but thats about it.
and i only knew him as JD. i never heard the dilla name until he died.
Not tryna derail the thread, but tech made better more relatable music when this kc producer don Juan was making his beats, prior to strange music, after the white dude Travis helped him start the label he started working with this other white producer named seven. ? changed.
About dilla I do like some of his tracks, he's a producers producer if that makes sense a lot of nuances and soulful melodies over boom bap mostly. Not the first one who comes to mind when I think of dope producers, but can't take anything away from him, he was dope. rip -

?uestlove was in Ummah? I don't wanna question your knowledge, brother... but I think you're thinking about Soulquarians, they did most of LWFC. Ummah was just Dilla, Tip and Ali Shaheed. -

Soulquarians and The Ummah were interchangeable really and were all under the same musical umbrella and ?uestlove was actually credited with production duties on LWFC.
D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Karriem Riggins all friends and colleagues of Dilla and were part of that collective.. . -

So what I'm getting is dilla was goat neo soul/backpack producer. Respect. The Badu didn't cha know puts him in that Quincy jones class pause.

The thing that confused me by hearing dilla fans was him being a producer and them referring to his work he did by himself , which basically instrumentals . I understand bc I can listen to a lot of alc instrumentals
