![]() Looping and chopping phrases, beats, and snippets from Kool & the Gang, the Beastie Boys, Raymond Scott, the Temptations and Mobb Deep among many many others, Dilla uses the conventional hip-hop palette to paint a work of unorthodox greatness. Donuts is about as far away from sonic wallpaper as you can get. ![]() It doesn't sound like old breaks records, 45 King loops, or the flipside of a No Limit 12-inch. Donuts sounds nothing like DJ Shadow, RJD2, Special Herbs, the Chronic 2001 instrumentals or anything made by Daedalus, Prefuse 73, Sixtoo, or Jel. Consider all the connotations you form, all the experiences you may or may not have had listening to such things. Roll it around your brain and chew on it. Ere's a phrase I want you to think about for a minute: instrumental hip-hop album.
