EASILY one of the GOAT Hip-Hop producers to me; the sound he had in that era may sound dated to the crate-digger crew looking for "dusty" fusion- and prog-loops but if you are old enough to remember how fucking RAD (LOL!) Run DMC and Whodini etc. sounded in the context of the time, you know. And I for one still think the best shit holds up just as well as any later, more "sophisticated" or (insert buzzword) Hip-Hop...
