See your ear is sharp. I definitely agree with you. The first ones were better. Yes I know all these guys. The first YouTube link (already taken down) and the Souncloud were from 2 seperate guys, you can say we're best buddies. The last post was from another friend I hangout with.
That's why it's even worse. Such talent and then you'd expect his brother to be good as well but then he fucks it up. Obviously learned nothing. That track is wack as fuck, need tha instrumental lol
Check out how insane Waajeed flipped Elzhi. Then go and listen to Chino XL - Can Be (produced by Apollo Brown). Very simple sampling. That's my problem with him a lot of times.

I do respect him for doing it actually, he's one of the few with the 90s boom bap sound
Check the thread for all the links. If you need any more work from Dilla I think I have almost everything that has been leaked but I'll try and upload it.
