  • Summary: The second posthumous release from the acclaimed hip-hop producer, this double-disc set is actually a greatly-expanded resissue of his hard-to-find 2003 EP of the same name.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 13 out of 16
  2. Negative: 0 out of 16
  1. One of hip-hop's few essential EPs.
  2. Situated between his production for Common’s Electric Circus and Champion Sound with Madlib, the record scripts Dilla’s now triumphant escape from the majors and represents the more mercurial facet of his vision.

    This is raw, inventive stuff. [May 2007, p.88]
  4. 60
    Though Dilla's rapping is never more than competent, Ruff Draft is still a platform for the versatility of his eccentric genius. [Apr 2007, p.88]
