"At the top of his game," says longtime friend and | | collaborator, Karriem Riggins. After years of building while modestly | | deferring to others of both greater and lesser notoriety, Dilla | | finally completed the first solo endeavor on his own label, entirely | | on his own terms. The significance of such an autonomous success | | often gets overlooked, and partly accounts for why Ruff Draft is one | | of the lesser-referenced entries in Dilla's oeuvre. "It's a | | mysterious little project," says his mother, Maureen Yancey. "But out | | of his entire career, that was the happiest time." | | | | Prior to recording the EP, Dilla found himself at a crossroads. | | Estranged from his label, MCA, and separated from the mother of his | | youngest daughter, frustration abounded both personally and | | professionally. Dilla spent parts of 2002 and 2003 working on an | | album for MCA that featured his rapping over contributions from other | | producers with whom he had connected and whose music he respected. At | | the time, he was known primarily for his beats, yet reviled for his | | MCing by most anyone not from his hometown of Detroit. The project | | was to be an intentional freak of the industry. | | | | The project would go on to spur his collaborative album with Madlib, | | Jaylib, and would first showcase the template that he would take to | | his greatest heights with 2006's Donuts. The Stones Throw reissue of | | Ruff Draft from 2008 featured remixes of the songs from the album, | | done without Dilla's involvement. | | | | This version of the album takes Dilla's recently discovered mixes of | | the album and restores his vision for the project. "Straight from the | | mothafuckin' cassette," as he phrased the sound he was going for on | | the EP's intro. It is buttressed by unreleased tracks and is | | presented in two versions: LP one is the EP as it was originally | | released; LP 2 is the alternate version that Dilla had for the | | project. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
