Not to jack the thread, but I couldn't let this slide..
I'm in Detroit, and know many people that actually knew Jay-Dee well. I've heard a lot of things over the years that most people never knew, and I can honestly tell you that this is the first that I've ever heard about this. I'll assume it's not true.
The only thing Q-Tip did was get beats for a REALLY cheap price (a Lexus Truck that Dilla had pre 1997 which is why the first Slum Village record (vol:1) does not have his name on it. Baatin created SV, and Dilla went by the name John Doe to hide his identity from Q-Tip's contract which stated he couldn't produce for anyone else. The album was under a label called "Sudden Impact."
There are a few people that Dilla learned from. Amp Fiddler Taught Dilla how to operate the MPC3000, Beej (from what I hear) introduced Dilla to chopping breakbeats etc. Q-Tip did nothing but hear a style and like it. If Q-Tip taught Dilla anything, then why doesn't Q-Tip still have solid production like the previous ATCQ albums. The last Love movement album sucked (at the time.. I think it's dope now tho) because this was Dilla's last contractual album under Tip, so he gave him some throwaways. Kinda explains the poor album sales also.
P.S It's ok not to be a Dilla fan, but please respect his grind. He developed a new style that MANY people love worldwide, represented Hip-Hop while hiding his illness for years and still remained humble till his death. Music was his first love. How many producers do you know that made an album in the hospital bead? I don't like gangsta rap, but I still have respect for 50Cent for his business savvy. He sold millions of cd's..I can barely sell 10 at the club!
What makes you think Dilla is overrated? I'm interested in understanding your response; really.

That's all i want to say.BTW Dilla used also the sp1200 (saw it in a Source issue circa 1999)..if those kids read this they'll gonna make the sp1200 vanish from eBay and what not,i'm pretty sure.

Too many kids are already buying all the SP1200s off eBay and end up not using them because they can't load they're downloaded PeterockDrums.zip drums straight into it. and they don't have patience. Thinking it will all come to them without any labour. Spoiled brats. Should take a banana to their stupid a$$.
I wanted the 3000 before I knew what Jay Dee was using. I thought his stuff seemed so next-level that I thought he used more "advanced" gear.
He used a lot of equipment, and a lot of it was live stuff. On Welcome To Detroit he states some of the equipment he has used, both 1200 triton and stuff. He played things like bass-guitar on some D'Angelo and Badu stuff, and he shure played both drums and a lot of other stuff on many different things too.
I think one of the largest hypes is the latest 303-hype over at the X0X-forums. They all say that he made Donuts at his bed in the hospital. Some of the joints on that album are definitely 303 with some poor portable, but I think he made some of that stuff outside his bed too, and those beats are showing up on different beat-tapes and mix-tapes and it seems like he flirted with that style for a while and not only at the hospital.
But I'm also getting tired of all the fake Dilla-Hype (people loving him who has not heard much of his work) even if I love Dilla's work and still bang his stuff all the time (not his latest work too much tho').
