I was backpacking in Los Padres national Forest with a group from my University. I ended up hiking pretty far ahead of the rest of the group on my own. I was on a little bit of mushrooms and my headphones had lost their silicone tips and were unable to fit in my ears. And so I wasn't able to play anything off my music player and the only music I had was what was temporarily cached music in Spotify. One of the songs that was still available for me to play was Two Can Win by J Dilla off his final album. I was listening to it from my smartphone speakers which sounded like shit. But it didn't matter. Walking along that Creek with the sun of my face hearing that sample, that single note held and repeated. It was incredible. I remember thinking about Dilla and his final days and how beautiful his music is and it made me cry a little bit. I love this song.

A few Donuts samples, original LPs

Just thought I'd share this group I found at home. Got a few others (ESG, Isley), but when Donuts hit I remember trying to 'find them all' like it was Pokémon 😄

Donuts Jelly Edition

I have this but can’t find anything out about how much it’s worth. Nothing on eBay or anything. Seems like it’s pretty rare. Hate to sell it but just lost my job and need extra cash.
