I was listening to Dilla's Donuts today and thought I might share something off that, but to be honest I feel that it's much better enjoyed in a full sitting rather than in bits and pieces. So instead here's a classic number off The Roots' 2006 album Game Theory.
Released six months after J Dilla's untimely death, the crew decided to use the closing track of the album to pay tribute to the legendary producer. Over one of Jay Dee's most beautiful 'Donuts', Black Thought raps his ass off in a way that I'm sure Dilla would have been proud of.
After the beat breaks down the song closes with a stream of people paying their own tributes as the song fades out.
An amazing song off a superb album.
