huh?

i've heard (some of, maybe most?) his other beattapes (and if i had to choose, i'd have a hard time between donuts and dilla beats 3 aka motown) and i don't think anything, even motown, is put together in the fashion that 'donuts' is...'donuts' is much more calculated

i didn't hear donuts at all until it released to retail

but i had motown for a good while and, like i said, though not as much an album (at all), the beats themselves compete w/ donuts and give it a run for it's money
