The Myth and Meaning of J Dilla’s “Donuts” | Breakdown & Recreation
Tap in to my free Patreon-only livestream on Saturday, February 10th at 5pm PST. I’ll be playing all Dilla stuff 🔥 Sign up for free to get the link here: http://www.patreon.com/diggingthegreats
This DJ livestream is free, but a paid membership gets you things like the extended “full” edit of this video (over 6 mins longer) or downloads like the Ableton files I used in this video.

Today we’re talking about Dilla’s final release during his lifetime, his supposed “magnum opus”, diving into the REAL story behind Donuts, the myth surrounding it, recreating several beats that showcase a variety of sampling styles, and attempting to find the meaning of it all.
Rest in Peace J Dilla
