  1. Ranked No. 7 in Neo-Soul

    J Dilla programming drums that are audibly, deliberately out of time and grooving harder for it. The production technique underneath half of this list, laid bare on one track.

  2. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    J Dilla programming drums audibly out of time and grooving harder for it. The single most imitated piece of programming of the last thirty years.

  3. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Soulquarians Room

    Dilla's drums audibly and deliberately out of time: the single most imitated piece of programming of the last thirty years, released before anyone had a name for what it was doing.
