    but how can this "album" even compare to fantastic vol 2?
    it doesn't have slum village on it, that's how

    dilla brought whole new sound back in the late 90's.
    the whole neo-soul movement was very dilla-inspired

    I know I know. I luv that guy (no ayo). But the phrase just struck me as funny. After all, most Americans have never heard of Dilla. And yes, I realize that that means little in terms of "importance." I've just been up in the London/BBE mix a lot and it seems that a lot of times characters like Dilla and Madlib followed with a fervor usually restricted to important religious leaders.

    they are breaths of fresh air in such a manufactured plastic time.

    i really dont understand how anyone can say this album is any good.. maybe you guys are just fans from the slum village days...but how can this "album" even compare to fantastic vol 2?

    Some of you dudes...I swear!!!



    Thick Skull Posse is on the prowl.

    Will the commercial release differ from the promo in any way? Will the finished product be a beat tape? Its cool as it is, but this will sound kinda played out by its release date in a few weeks.

    thats your own fault.

  • BaptBapt 2,503 Posts

    LOL

    hatter alert!

    I'm not hating it, but in this modern world of instant gratification, I find myself already looking for my next thrill. Alas, I guess it is my own fault...

    plaese to explain these.

    Its quite simple, young B*n. It appears that the depths of Jdilla's "skillz", as they so succinctly refer to them in "the streets", have changed the life of the young man in the photo. Ah, the follies of youth!

    respectfully yours,

    I have the retail version now & I'd like to retract any inflammatory Dilla comments I may or may not have made about this album.



    Please to elaborate. Inquiring heads want to know the real Dilla.

    So, what's the difference between the promo and retail version?

  • SwayzeSwayze 14,705 Posts
    i've been absorbing the promo for about a month. and i'll be copping the retail vinyl as soon as it comes out. i can understand peoples concerns and comments,

    but i have to say that this is some of the ill.est shit i've heard in a minute. it will take about ten years for most people to comprehend this LP. there are a lot of new ideas on here. as soon as mad people start biting you guys will realize just how important this album is. there's nothing quite like it. acid/psych/hip-hop/soul done by a real pro.

    haters, you will appreciate when the time is right for you.

    That's what Detroit's always been doing. The combination of those elements is the foundation for Detroit techno and its spawns, that includes "Donuts."

    Ok so I've had the retail version for a week now, and I don't hear any difference except for the removal of the occasional promo speak. It's still dope in it's own right. I'm beginning to appreciate it for what it is. Don't think I'll be hearing it that much though. I'm looking forward to that other shit.

    never thought about it that way... but hell yeah. this is 21st century motown.

    I got a copy of it last week, and I think it's a good, if at times frustrating, listen. Some of it is extraordinarily good, but all the folks who've been saying it sounds like a beat tape have got a point. I'd like to hear him stretch out with a few of those ideas or, better yet, get an emcee on some of them. On the whole, though, I like it.
