Daily Dopeness: E=MC2.

Dilla x Common = Legendary. Today's Dopeness comes from Dilla's posthumous album, The Shining, in which Dilla throws down one of his hardest beats ever for Common to rip apart. The dopest thing about this song, is that it's somewhat out of both of these dude's perceived character. Dilla was mostly known (to the masses) for his smoother, neo-soul beats (even though he always had slaps to rattle that trunk), and Common is mostly known for his smoother, neo-soul raps (even though he's always been a killer on the mic, ask Westside Connection). They both step out of the box for this one, creating a track that is a throwback to both of their inner beasts. It's amazing. And that sample? How the hell did he find that? Dilla is a fool for this one.
