i ain't up on every single jazz song he ever released or didn't release, but i know madlib's catalog. madlib didn't turn off the quantize until after he noticed dilla did. madlib ain't put claps on his snares until dilla had made it his signature. madlib didn't fuck with the synthy sound until the YNQ shit came out and this is how many years after raise it up and the don't nobody care about us...

madlib is definitely an ill muhfucka, but he ain't so ill that he's shitting on his main influence. your admission that wtd is waaaaaay doper than wlib is proof that he ain't surpassed the GOAT.
