Only if you qualify it the way I have. If you do the abridged version of course it sounds ridiculous.

No I'm talking about artists. Not fans. But artists that are actively putting his musical influence into their work. See the clip from the jimi doc above and take the quote I pulled from it. Rock didn't radically change it's direction after Hendrix. It stood in shock and awe bearing witness to greatness. What could they do after that? "Get on stage and just strummed." Other than a handful of fringe artists that has been the trajectory of rock since. You don't hear Hendrix coming out of a grip of guitar players the way you do Dilla coming out of a grip of MPC players.

This takes nothing away from what Hendrix did. It doesn't diminish it in one bit. It just says that the influence of Dilla is more direct.

>Man just STOP already!

Nope.

The passion you put into that. :)

>I

>yourself that you weren't even that big of a fan.

Why disingenuous, because I'm honest and objective. Does the fact that I'm not a fan and can respect the work of an artist indicate I'm not being honest?

>Why you now
>decided to try and make a case for him just reeks of ULTERIOR
>MOTIVES that are not at all altruisitic.

Ultereior motives that are not all altruistic? Like what, I'm trying to get Dilla to executive produce my next project? WTF? What do I gain by doing this other than getting more OKP's to think I'm batshit crazy until they come down to my level of insanity and realize I may not be so crazy after all. That takes time though.

I do have ulterior motives though. I want to see if people can speak on musical influence objectively. So far, not so good results.

>If an argument could

On behalf of Dilla? What does that mean. As for arguments being made. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one foolish enough to make such a claim, let alone actually face the ridicule to defend it.

>Just STOP already because you are embarassing yourself at this

The folk on here I give a fuck about know better than to dismiss me out of pocket.

>Shock posting doesn't suit you at all.

*This* is not shock posting.
