As a lead championeer of the work of Shadow I would never deny his influence on Dilla and all of hip-hop. That said technique wise what Endtroducing brought to the table was mostly new in the condensation of forms. It will forever stand the test of time though, but the impact of it wasn't as immediate as with Dilla. Though again I will say a lot of Dilla's impact was consequential.
