No doubt @DillaTUDE, @Umi.
The truth about Dilla is that you cant bring up names like 'Alchemist, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Madlib, DJ Premier, 9th Wonder, Kev Brown' etc. without bringing up Dilla as the best, whilst you can bring up Dilla and not remember half this list. No disrespect. especially as Im a fan of the first 5 of them.

Exactly. Dilla's involvement in the overall sound and direction of projects such as D'Angelo's Voodoo, The Root's Thing's Fall Apart and Common's Like Water For Chocolate, distinguish him from the rest of those producers who are great in their own right.
Every great producer from Pharrell to Kanye West will admit to you that they were literally "stans" of the man's music.
Dilla's work is up there with a Fela Kuti's, his shyt is made for it to hit your soul.

I was literally listening to some Voodoo Outtakes yesterday and a Dilla beat played and I paused the track and just said 'DILLA is actually the GOAT'
I heard this beat TIME ago and just realised it was an outtake...Lord Jesus. Some of those Dilla beattapes must be heaven on earth...the whole Soulquarian era is one of the greatest (slept on arguably?)
D'Angelo, Dilla, Questlove, Pino, Q-Tip, James Poyser, Ali Shaheed, Raphael all in the studio together
and this Questlove video...

dope thread, i'm a big dilla fan but i usually cringe at the internet stroking the fukk out of him.
i prefer a lot of dudes beats to his most days but as far as really producing (soulquarians era, etc) he was next fukking level.
i never try to downplay how much a genius he was with sampling and drum programming, just sometimes not the style of beats i wanna hear.

What made Dilla great to me wasn't really his sample-chopping but more the filtering he did with it and especially the basslines he made himself.
But Pete Rock is the best of all time i would say.

Yeah, his basslines and filtering were godly. Just listen to this stuff:
But I think a lot of these guys are slighting Dilla's ability to chop up samples, especially when citing a guy like Madlib ahead of him in that regard, when all Lib pretty much does is loop samples.

What amazes me about Dilla and quite few other producers isn't even the skill of their chops but their ability to hear what they need to hear in order to make sick loops.
I'm a sloppy drum and bassline junkie so Dilla is my GOAT for not only his own material but his creative influence on some of my favourite albums. However,'I wouldn't be mad if anyone has another producer as their GOAT. There's legitiamately about 10 guys that could have that spot.
