“J Dilla, as the Music Snobs said, has had an influence on how we perceive timing in music. In terms of his influence (admittedly, I don’t have hip hop music knowledge, really) I feel that many people miss what Dilla’s influence should have been in that people
stopped training with metronomes. Dilla always had music that had a different concept of feel or rhythm or groove… but!
Somebody (some instrument, some sample, some entity or somebody) has to be playing ‘in time’. People try to be Dilla before they can play in time with a metronome.
I am only now learning to be able to play with a metronome. So I can’t call anybody out. But the capacity to lock in a groove is essential, and I wonder if people try to sound like Dilla doing altered time before they know how to play a quarter note. Or a half note. Or a dotted eighth.
I say all of that to say— he was influential, maybe the most influential— giving people a new concept of rhythm that I do hear in other genres. But sort of like people try to become Jordan before they have fundamentals down, I wonder if modern musicians (myself included… before I started playing with a metronome) have tried to skip steps because they followed a genius before they learned simple (not to say easy) things.”
