"YES..... yesssss.... The dirty churning angst on this recording is so very raw, yet understated... powerful beyond explanation.... This is not the "Dance to the Music" Sly... This is the ruminatin' dark and burnin' out Sly... a hard rude awakening coming over the war-torn survivors of the Sixties..." [+] Reply

"I remember when Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds toured this album. Theyopened with Into My Arms and Cave had a terrible time with the first line "I don' t believe in an interventionist god" it took him 4 or 5 gos to get through it and ages to complete the song. Had seen him live a number of times but..." [+] Reply

"On the 7th of February 2006, after around 4 months of label disputes J Dilla's 'Donuts' was finally released. 3 days later he was dead.

"The only thing that holds this back from being a 100, because this album might otherwise be perfect, are "Barry Bonds" and "Drunk and Hot Girls." Just misusing Mos Def like that? Come on, Kanye.
