[MP3] HipHopisRead.com pres. J. Dilla/Jay Dee – Donuts: The Samples
Since I just got back from the Dilla Suite For Ma Dukes screening, it seemed apropos to post this from the homie, Ivan at HipHopisRead.com:
“Just over five years ago, James Dewitt Yancey, a.k.a. Jay Dee, a.k.a. J Dilla, celebrated his 32nd birthday by releasing his magnum opus, Donuts. Sadly, his life was cut short just three days later due to complications from TTP and Lupus. There’s no telling how the hip hop landscape would be different if Dilla were still around. What we’re left with instead is a Tupac-like surplus of stashed away, sometimes incomplete works – many of which Dilla labored over in his last months of life.
Much like the various records that Dilla picked up with his heat-seeking fingertips, the music on Donuts is so wide-ranging, so diverse, I can’t help but call the album his magnum opus. Donuts is an incredible record, filled with beautiful soundscapes (“Time: The Donut of the Heart”; “Stop”; “One Eleven”; “Gobstopper”; “Dilla Says Go”; “Bye”), neck-snapping grooves (“The New”; “Two Can Win”; “Walkinonit”), innovative, electro madness (“Lightworks”; “Da Factory”), hardcore soul (“Mash”; “Geek Down”; “Last Donut of the Night”) and everything in between – lest I list off the entire tracklisting! It was a pleasure to compile Dilla’s eclectic sample sources, and though I say this every time I release a sample set, this time I really mean it: TURN IT UP!!”
I ain’t gonna lie, I was late to the Dilla party and that’s speaking as someone who actually worked on some of his earliest production projects

[Mixtape] DJ Synapse pres. Outstanding: Charlie Wilson & The Gap Band’s Hip Hop Legacy
Nice! Some of you young ‘uns might only know the name Charlie Wilson as the government name for Uncle Charlie, a frequent recent collaborator of Kanye West on his recently acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album and G.O.O.D. Friday series of free tracks at the end of last year. But before that, this veteran performer had a long legacy of great funk/R&B music with the Gap Band that has been well-appreciated and sampled by the hip hop creative community as this DJ Synapse mixtape ably demonstrates.
