Arguably his best verse. Bodied Common on this too

Numbers look crooked like King Kong shook it-

Dilla could flow sometimes

Dilla had a nasty larger than life mic persona. I love this shyt and his verse on raise it up too.

That song is soooo dope. Dilla's flow is cool as fukk but the song structure is what makes it ill. No real hook. Just mini bridges that change every time. shyt brings out the rap nerd in me.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Dilla has a top 5 most underrated flow ever, and is the most underrated producer rapper of all time.

Even Common admitted that Dilla bodied him on this joint

I always when people talk about Dilla like he was an average rapper. Thelonius and other tracks like Shake It Down show that he was elite and finding the vibe in the track. Only guy I put above him at being able to effortlessly vibe is Q-Tip.

Man Dilla got down on this joint. Fact is, he was always my favorite in SV, even after Elzhi came in who's doper as a lyricist.


Dope beats, smooth flow, entertaining lyrics.


Wish he was still around.

That flip a lot of these hippie ass ride Dillas ghostly nuts ass nikkas wigs. When songs from the Diary leaked YEARS AGO, a lot of these idiots didn't believe it was dilla. Dilla was spitting that raw Detriot sound. Meanwhile these idiots were hurting their brains cells trying to rhyme about quasars and astronomical projects of the star system Centuri. Slum village was never about what they say but how they said it. They from home of Motown and Dilla incorporated melodies into hooks and his rhymes.

Listen I know it's easy to be like get off Dillas nuts cuz of all these Johnny come lately ass nikkas but if you listen to SV Fantastic vol 1 and 2 and Welcome to Detriot, it's hard press to say that he is not ill. Dilla was sick with it. Beats. Rhymes to a degree. I learned from him and the beatnuts, it's not just the lyrics. It's how you say it to make entertaining. Most conscious rappers be rappity rapping long boring verses which are deep on substance but they lack style. Dilla and SV had style in spades
