the arrangement/sequencing affects the sounds just like eq/compression is

music is all context

part of the reason dillas beats crack was his use of space

i'm saying no one is gonna replicate dillas arranging/context choices

how many people sample dilla drums (looking at you kanye)...

do they ever HIT like they do in dillas?? NO. the SOUNDS are the exact same as his. sampled from his records, but the context in which they used changed and so they sound different.
