I don't know that Dilla was the father of neo-soul as much as he was highly influential in that time when he was doing what he was doing at his best... Dilla's influence transcended genre and it transcended region.

Black Thought

It was incredible to have J Dilla in your dining room making beats - it was one of the greatest experiences I've had.

Common

Dilla could flip a boring record and make you feel like you were flying.

Flying Lotus

I guess I only work with versatile rappers, chameleons like Guilty Simpson, J Dilla, and Doom.

Madlib

All I ever wanted was to make scrilla Have a recording session with J Dilla.

Rick Ross

I grew up on Dilla, Timbaland, Pharrell, all these drums that are super pocketed, so all those influences come out on a song like 'Ungrateful Eyes,' with all the crazy drum swing.

Jon Bellion

I love Dilla, and who knows where this beat thing would be without him.

Flying Lotus

A lot of the album 'The Definition' was made from two things: Pixar movies and J. Dilla.

Jon Bellion

With Prisoner of Conscience, the focus was - I've worked with Madlib, High Tech, Kanye West, J Dilla. I feel like I've worked with some of the greatest of all time. That's been overlooked. That's been overshadowed by the weight of the lyrics.

Talib Kweli

J Dilla is the top producer of all time, in my book, alongside Timbaland and Pharrell. Then DJ Mustard.

Ty Dolla Sign

Dilla was a John Coltrane-type dude. He was always on a higher level. He inspired my music to become looser and more soulful.

Madlib

My main inspirations come from early '90s Trance, the French electro movement round '06, then a bunch of artists like Flying Lotus, J Dilla, Moby, The Prodigy. So I'd say it's some kind of experimental electronica with a strong hip hop influence. It's chilled, but people can still get super crazy and dance to it.

Flume

I was raised on 'TRL' and listened to every genre that sounded good to me, from Sum 41 to Jay Z to Band of Horses to J. Dilla to Deathcab for Cutie to Pharrell.

Jon Bellion

It's tough when you're an artist because you get to go around the world and make a lot of friends, but guess what? One day, all these people that you love are going to die, from DJ Mehdi to DJ Dusk to J Dilla to Austin Peralta to DJ Rashad.

Flying Lotus

Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul - nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.

Big Sean

You're gonna get your traditional Busta Rhymes and Pharrell collabo. My man Focus from the Aftermath crew; Dr. Dre; the late, great J Dilla got work on the album. It's gonna be great - look forward to the new bang-out.

Busta Rhymes
