What Hendrix accomplished with the guitar is not even remotely comparable to what Dilla did with an mpc. How many Dilla clones are there out there today?

Many.

How many Hendrix clones?

None.

He can't be imitated.

Dilla presented a style that almost anyone with good practice can copy. You guys just don't get it and are reaching way too hard. Not everyone has to reflective of someone from another era. Why is this so important for you? Hendrix was also international and Dilla was underground. Why do you persist in this idiotic comparison? Furthermore, Hendrix was a real songwriter.. Dilla was a beat maker. How many other points do you need to hear about to realize that you're dead wrong? I love Dilla too but this is insulting to both artists.

Exactly why this is even a stupider shockier comparison. Dilla recorded, meaning.. he has unlimited takes to get it right. Hendrix performed it live and did it in a way that people still get wet dreams about.
