2488442, Dilla got me through one of the toughest times Posted by jetblack, Tue Jan-11-11 09:59 PM
in my life. Real talk. Getting dumped at Christmas time during a snow storm in Santa Fe... feeling depressed and I popped in that bootleg Donuts. I was alright because I was bumping Donuts moving on with my life. Only one can win indeed. Bought it @ Best Buy when it dropped officially.
There isn't a word that can encapsulate how I feel about this album. 'Classic' seems too pedestrian. The emotion and passion he put in this album is extraordinary. I hope I give something to the world as awesome and heartfelt as Donuts.
If you don't own this album you need to, it's one of the most awesome recordings ever IMHO. I know y'all know what up...just in case we got a new lurker or two reading this. Go get it.
Dilla is my Sinatra.
