I do think it's weird that Dilla is seen as the father of the whole beat scene, when to my ears I feel like Madlib is the true catalyst for all that.

But both of them seemed to adopt things from each other. Madlib adopted more Dilla like percussion with off kilter claps, instead of the boom bap drums you hear in the Lootpack stuff. And I think Dilla was inspired by Madlib to go further left field and embrace the weird.
