"What Old School artists influenced Dilla the most?"
I am up late, randomly listenin to all of these old tracks from Herbie, Quincy, and Roy Ayers....and for some reason, I realized that a lot of his songs have a strong Roy Ayers type of vibe...from the style of vocals and samples he'd use, to the instrumentation.
Are there any Soul/Jazz/Funk musicians that he has mentioned as an influence? Who would you feel had an influence on him, and do you have any song links that show it?

besides that, the Fat Boys are the group he said made him want to make beats-'Big Mouth' in particular

i heard him flip the ohio players a couple times, zapp definitely inspired him with those drum machine soul claps. quest would know the answer to this one.
