2487874, Not my favorite Dilla/Jay Dee release by any means, BUT....

It still sounds dope and it's cohesive as hell. Just a great listen. I agree with whoever said it was a sad album though....I associate that LP with his death and I never really spun it too much once I copped (doubles of) the retail version.

And I'll say this:

I've heard some sloppy fucking bites of "Donuts-style" beats, and it's obvious that some people just don't get it. I hate that, and I think that whole sound is played out because of the imitators. I know that *I* have no desire to hear a soul chop in 2011, but damn he came through and crushed the buildings back in 06. I knew that Kanye's College Dropout-era soul beats were some bullshit, and thankfully Dilla delivered the real deal with Donuts. I might give that a spin tomorrow.
