"widely regarded as the most important man in hip???hop along with Pete Rock and DJ Premier"
man sometimes I think the Brits are a little, how should I put this delicately, "disconnected from ye olde streetes"?
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.
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?
H2>DOES THIS REALLY SEEM LIKE AN "ALBUM" TO YOU?!/H2>
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.
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...
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!
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."
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.
So, what's the difference between the promo and retail version?
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.

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.

plaese to explain these.

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

THIS IS WHAT DETROIT SHOULD BE DOING.
