“The songs on J Dilla's signature production opus, released the week of his death, are miniature lessons in how to take sample-based music and use it to build elaborate suites from the nagging little pieces of songs that stick with you long after you've last listened to them. While Donuts is best experienced as a self-contained album, Stones Throw has gone to the unusual step of reissuing it as a box set of 7" singles, complete with bonus material.”
