(9.5)
Dilla says go. Not surprisingly, this is my most played album. It's my happy album, the one that will put you in a good mood no matter what. One of the greatest producers of all time for sure. The last record before his death in 2006, it's said he finished it in his hospital bed with a mixer and turntable. This is the album that turned me on to blunted neo-soul hip hop beats.
Everything about this album is perfect. The samples Jay Dee uses are full of soul with guitar lines and percussion from all of your favorite black soul and funk artists of the 60's. He proceeds to use those samples and creates a completely new sound with them, that is what this album is really about. It'll blow your mind how good the sound is yet it's still so incoherent. He blunts the bass till it's pounding though to the back of your head, Echos the handclaps and manipulated the drums better than the best dub producers.
I'm not ganna go on to describe the sound because it wont do it justice. It's just an album that needs to be heard by everyone, friend of foe of hip hop.
Sounds Like
The best beats you've ever heard.
