[@alexanderharris8310]

It's good but listen to the snare on Onyx - Slam and you might think twice.

[@tokuscastle4320]

He was a wizard with those snares. One thing I love about Dilla is the more you listen to him the more you appreciate him. His genius is very subtle.

[@dikbeats2720]

I think u mean its the best clap effect on a snare sound.

[@jamesbermingham1194]

i hope since then you've listened to quasimoto - the unseen (title track), and now realize how bad u look...

[@themosthighs-a-v]

I gota friend who samples off of the Mpc 2000 and he records all his drums in an it’s just the mpc it self that gives snares that pop it’s a very warm and bass heavy machine. Dilla definitely perfected it tho but I’ve seen and heard how he got this sound.

[@SuperArt7]

He took 2 seconds of Ahmad Jamals the awakening ( 56-58 sec in) and make this banger ..smh so fucking good

I think it was 95-96. Jay starts leaking his follow up trio shit after Pharcyde, TCQ collabos... even Illadelph was buzzin. He gave copy to Ahmir (Questlove)... my roomie Bun (Capitol A) dubbed. I heard, fainted, woke up, cried, fainted again, woke up, moked an entire el of Nigerian Sativa to the head staring at the gears of the tape turning... I thought about the dichotomy of Life; how we are so miniscule, insignificant, temporarily incarnate yet we are so remarkable, powerful, unique. My Anja 3rd eye popped out my skull, w my pineal gland who did a little poppin and locking, seamlessly into robot, dropped into a backspin and finished a layback profilin' before hopping back into my skull.

@@dikbeats2720 Portishead HAD the funk! They had a DJ in the band!! Their music was like what a James Bond film score would sound like if Hip Hop producers composed it. RZA sampled them, Rah Digga shouted them out. You need to check out the song "Cowboys" by Portishead and tell me it doesn't sound a little like Raekwon's "Glaciers of Ice."
