    While still lush in its own grimy way, Ruff Draft represents the harsher, more experimental end of Dilla’s palette.

    Ruff Draft is live, and you need to play it loud enough to wake the dead. [#24, p.98]

    Ultimately, Ruff Draft is a curiosity—an offshoot rather than example of Dilla's genius.
