>To have Jimi-style influence, people have to at least know you.

I know it's probably not what you meant but 'style' in the above sentence means more than you put on it. I'm not talking style I'm talking technique influence. Musical talent, not type of stardom. I could care less about the stardom level of either artist.


>It's easy to get swept away by the pro-Dilla Lesson forget that most people have never heard of him, and people that have don't all ride for him like people do here.

Again I'm not using popularity to validate my claim. And popularity is the worst argument against a comparison of musical impact. Only thing worse is to bunch me in with the pro-Dilla Lesson. Never been one of em. And again they don't shape my claim. I'm talking strictly on musical merits and how the musical influence dispersed. Care to counter that?

>This is a unique environment, not indicative of the Hip Hop community as a whole.

This is a weak attempt to divert the discussion away from the topic at hand. There are ways to shut me down. Only one of them has been utilized so far.

>You say you hear Dilla's influence in late night TV? *shrugs* People see the virgin mary in tortillas.

Holla at ya message board leader about the virgin mary in tortillas. Don't get mad if he doesn't reply though, he's busy throwing Dillaisms all over late night tv.
