Kutiman

Wow, I think this guy would give J Dilla a run for his money. I'm comparing this guy a lot to him not because of the way they sound (because when you listen to Kutiman, he doesn't resemble Dilla at all), but more of the way they chop and flip samples. Kutiman basically cuts up YouTube clips and turns them into his own compositions, much like Dilla cut up old soul records or what have you to create a bangin' new track.

See, Dilla didn't JUST sample, like use an old clip and speed it up or slow it down or something. He would tweak it SO MUCH that it would just say something completely different than what it used to, or he would give the samples their own TEMPOS, or whatever; he could do things you would've even think of.

That's kinda what Kutiman's doing here. Though I doubt his skill is still nowhere near Dilla's (that's me being partial though), I can tell he's a pretty talented dude, and you would be a fool if you didn't think the same. On his website, Thru You, you can preview the tracks he has come up with so far, and they're pretty dang cool. Whether you're a Dilla fan like me, or not, or you just like music, you MUST check this stuff out. Click Kutiman's picture below to go to his site where he displays his work!
