Here is a great video about J Dilla and his usage of the MPC. It covers what groove is and shows how to program various timings on the MPC.

Seconding the video's recommendation for the book "Dilla Time", which is also apparently going to be a documentary soon. Highly, highly recommended for anyone into electronic music production, hip hop, neo soul, Dilla, contemporary jazz, swung beats, wonky time, fucking around with rhythm, etc.
