<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>Donuts was some mad boring shit. Geek down was the only thing that remotely banged and peeps used that sample before anyway. long stem shits on j dilla's entire ouvre </blockquote> Nerds like you amaze me. Listening to albums to seek out the "banger" and discarding the rest because it's obviously way over your head. I'd say Donuts is my choice here. Not because its musically superior to End. in any respect, but Donuts truly broke away from conventional ways of making a beat album. The way it swayed from adhering to any classic way of quantizing before hand blew me away. End. remained coherent too a "formula" of producing sample based music even though it was groundbreaking, it still stayed within a certain box. On Donuts it seems like Dilla was like "fuck that, imma make this sample fit this tempo I want it too. </blockquote> Your trying to apply two types of approaches of making an album to one another. And what ive seen of Soulstrut is an alarmingly high number of Dilla-Nerds. </blockquote> But my question is, would Shadow of tried this approach back then because it was a style he already heard? He couldn't off because the style wasn't born yet. Nothing like Donuts even closely existed back then. I think because of the whole sample ethics thing that was going on. I think most felt they couldn't use whole vocal portions and bridges in they're beats because of the trendy industry sample clearance laws. So what kind of approach did DJ Shadow take?
