What does Egon making beats (even though he has, as well as released an album) have to do with the fact that Stones Throw bought this beat tape from Dilla to sell in the mass market, as well as get extra bread by selling the beats? I'd think Egon would be close to Wolf as far as telling how 'Donuts' came about, don't you? He's the GM for the label. If your argument is in regards to it not being a conventional beat tape where it's full of just loops for sale, Dilla has built some of his other beat tapes in the same fashion.

If 'Donuts' came out in October 2005 like it was supposed to, it wouldn't have been revered as what all these people that listened to it after he died thought it was. You remember when Stones Throw released the tagged promo in 2005, right? How did it feel to you then, when you didn't think that Dilla was going to die so soon after its release?
