The late J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J sat down with AnecDope to talk about a bunch of topics, including his older brother and his latest self-produced solo album No Traffic. Toward the end of the 42-minute convo, Marco Mello asks Illa if he ever thinks what type of beats Dilla would be making today.
Illa suggests that his brother would “be making some crazy trap beats,” before acknowledging the late producer tried to listen to all types of rap music despite his reputation as a backpack producer. Adding, “Even when I was younger, he would ask me what I was listening to.”
He then says, “If [J Dilla] were still here, music would’ve took a different turn,” before giving his opinion on rapper and producer Ye. “I don’t think Kanye is as big as he is if my brother stayed alive. I’m sorry, Kanye needs seven producers. If you look at the credits, there’s like 20 producers on one track,” Illa said of the Chicago artist.
