the beauty of these albums for me is that they have emotion.

they have highs and lows.

they have different feelings throughout.

Donuts is dope because it just keeps hitting you with new dope shit, then slows it down, then drops a bomb, then a vocal sample, then let's a loop play, then it cuts it up again, flips to another tune and so forth. (can't wait to go back and read that freestyle description.)

just "some beats" to me is boring as fuck. as someone that writes, if "just a beat" comes on and it's not one I like enough to write to, I don't want to listen to that shit.

these instrumental albums like Flying Lotus, that actually have a pacing and a concept are dope as hell to me because they're just more creative.
