as we prepare to celebrate Dilla's birthday tomorrow, Spoonfed talked to a few of our favourite artists to see what Dilla meant to them and how his work has affected theirs. "I've been the biggest Slum V/J-Dilla fan ever since around that 'Stakes is High' kind of time...with me being an aspiring producer and stuff I've always taken notes and studied what he's done." DJ Babu
"For me Dilla is quite simply the best that ever did it. The way he chopped samples and crafted tracks is second to none. I am constantly in awe of his beats and never tire of listening to them. Many have tried to imitate his style but there will only ever be one James "J-Dilla" Yancey." - DJ Spindoctor
