As my man DJ Clark Kent recently pointed out to me, there is no such
thing as soul or hip-hop or rock. “It’s all just music,” he said.
Indeed, if there was one thing our man J Dilla knew about, it was
music. This is why he had no problem flipping tracks for hip-hop
clientele as well as soul children Janet Jackson, D’Angelo and Erykah
Badu. Recently, I interviewed singer/producer Bilal, whose forthcoming
A Love Surreal is already being lauded as one best soul discs of the
year. He and Dilla first collaborated on the track “Reminisce,” from
Bilal’s debut 1st Born Second (Interscope, 2001). Twelve years later,
his man from the D is still on his mind.

Great stuff.

I'm still a lil' behind when it comes to Dilla, it wasn't until recently that I found out my fave records from the late 90s/early 00's were done by him.

I read somewhere that he influenced D's Voodoo, and even worked in it(not sure which track).
