5.0 out of 5 stars RIP J Dilla, 2 Mar 2006

By A Customer

A truly excellent album. I too was a little dubious about the fact that each track must avaerage about 1 minute in length but that doesn't take away from the quality of the tunes. It is almost typical of an artist of this calibre that he will become more widely known and respected only now he has past away, at the young age of 32 and with so much more to give. If I'm not mistaken there are some other projects he has worked on coming out later this year. Check the Stones Throw website for more details.

If you like hip hop, soul and beats then you can't go wrong. J Dilla, for those of you that don't know, has produced for a lot of the more discerning rappers on the scene. For example Common, Q-Tip (both in and out of A Tribe Called Quest), Kanye West, De La Soul, and was a founding member of Slum Village. This is the work of a producer at the top of his game and the album plays like Dilla's just showing off. Pretty much every track on here, if lengthened and rapped over, could be a stand out tune on any other artist's album. There is something infectious about this CD. The brevity of each track makes you want to pay attention and see where Dilla's going to take you next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius, 26 Jan 2006

By A Customer

At first I was put off by the running time (about 37 minutes): I thought it was too short. But it's all about quality, not quantity. This album is damn-right quality. Pure 100% INSTRUMENTAL HIP-HOP. These tracks were meant to be instrumental as well. They're not loose clippings found on the studio floor, or tracks with the lyrics removed. It's all original.
For real hip-hop headz! You know what to do!

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece from Hip-Hop's unsung genius., 13 Aug 2006

By	Dj Linx (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews

There are rare moments in music's history when an artist or group will produce an album which, not only stands the test of time, but revolutionizes how we think about music, how its produced and how much further back the boundaries of acceptability have peen pushed.
Like the Beatles' Sgt Peppers Lonley Hearts Club, or Marvin Gaye's What's Goin On, Donuts by J Dilla is one such album guaranteed to have people talking in years to come (as it is now) about where they were when they first heard it, and how ground breaking they found it at the time.
The thing with Donuts is that you have to forget about the conventional. Jay Dee is not about the conventional. Donuts (and I might be wrong, but I doubt it!) may well be a prophetic glimpse into the future of a stagnated genre dominated by big corporate interests, which is perpetuating the current uncreative superfluous mediocrity masquerading as Hip-Hop.
As for the meat of the album itself, crate-diggers and beat-junkies will revel in the tantalizing sample-fest Dilla serves up.
Donuts is a statement. A commentary on post WW2 black American music; an analysis of the various genres and a psychopathic reinterpretation of them.
All in all, Donuts is one of the most creative montages of sonic art this side of the millenium, and arguably of the 20 years prior to it.
