Dillas Beats Re-define hip-hop

"I've been told from many sources that this album and the love movement were produced nearly 98% percent by Dilla. With another 2% of it overseen and executive produced by Tip and Ali. It Makes perfect sense because it sounds nothing like the first 3 albums. And if you know your production at all, this sounds like 100% Dilla, and if you can't hear him, I judge your knowledge of rap production. The drums are unmistakable, and the background ambience and detail is exactly the sounds that he utilized to re-define hip hop in the late 90's and early 00's. Listen to this, then to Commons LWFC, His tracks with the roots, and his other stones throw productions. Unmistakeable if you ask me, and the sooner you figure this out, the sooner you realize how much of a genius Tip was for discovering this cat and giving him the full creative power to do what he does best, and how much of a time capsule this album really is. BTW, did I mention the rhymes are incredible?"
