I like this, it doesnt make me think Dilla though, which is a good thing IMO, better to sound like yourself than somebody else.
Not the usual sort of thing Id listen too, but I find it very interesting, I like the way you have done the bass, nice and simple but it works well. Nice work.

Dope stuff. I feel like some little scratches here and there would spice it up to the top. Good job, G!

I think it does sound like a Dilla-esque beat. The kick, the bass and in particularly the snare are very much his sound - although I've said before I really despise "type beats" for so many reasons.
It doesn't have that groove. Just a groove, nothing to do with Dilla. It's a nod back and forth but without the shoulders moving. I think it might be the timing. Have you given the drums a little swing?
The bass seems a little flimsy for me. The actual sound of it is dope and very much like Dilla. However it's like it's dropping in intermittently with no real intent or purpose. I think it's the 3 - 4 tiny stab parts. For the most part you knew where Dilla's bassline was because he would often use it like a lead or certainly give it the same prominence. This is one of the reasons I hate type-beats - I end up drawing comparisons!
Again the actual drum sounds are dope but for me they just need a little movement to them. A little swing. Could be that you need to move the samples instead just to give it that groove. Have you got compression on the drums? I'd like just a little bit more high end on the snare, maybe just a little reverb would give it that swing or hi hat or 2 nestled in between.
Still love the beat though and think you should work and re-work until this is perfect.
Nice one
