is Dilla. i think thats a compliment to both Dilla and Hendrix.

dilla would be equivalent to a hendrix. donuts is a testament to that.

the willingness to experiment and master his tool/weapon/method of expression.

jimi's was the guitar. dilla's was the sampler. i mean we've got a grip of folks that have come along and played the guitar, and there are people who could be argued to be better technically

albert king, b.b. king...that stuff can be argued. primo, pete rock, dre....

but as far as their bodies of work and the sonic backdrops they've provided...

you can't contest that.

do you make music? are you passionate about making music, or creating or some sport or something that you don't just do, but live?

these dudes were spiritually in tune with their music and it's not something you hear.

you feel them.
