《Ruff Draft》在音樂上的轉植與走向受到相當多的討論，九零年代 Dilla 已經是 hip hop 工業裡家喻戶曉天才製作人之一，無數美妙的傑作中如 A Tribe Called Quest, Common, Pharcyde, De La Soul..都有他參與的清單，當然還有自己所屬的 Slum Village。2003 年，Dilla 搬移了原來的底特律居所，在陽光明媚的南加州完成了這張作品。在那裡他認識了洛杉磯當地同屬天才型製作人的 Madlib ，兩人從此一拍即合，合組 Jaylib 這支高度指標性 hip hop 製作團體。

《Ruff Draft》中呈現出不具任何商業性格的低傳真風味，時常被拿來與饒舌歌手 Common 的爭議性作品《Electric Circus》相提並論，實驗形式強，具相當的意象成分。(有趣的是，兩張作品都有 Dilla 參與其中)《Ruff Draft》最初於 03 年由 Dilla 的個人廠牌 Mummy Records 發行。在他過世之後，2007年 Stones Throw 決定將這張作品重新混音發行，2CD 亦收錄本輯部分 instrumental 曲目。

While Dilla awaited the fate of a solo album set to be released by MCA -- which, due to corporate upheaval, wound up being thrown into indefinite unreleased limbo -- he knocked out Ruff Draft, a ten-track EP released in 2003 on he and Frank-N-Dank's short-lived Mummy label. Distributed only in Germany, the 12" was aimed at Dilla's "real niggas only." Unsurprisingly, physical copies reached the hands of his keenest followers and few others. It wasn't necessarily scarce; it was pretty much unknown, a low-key import release from a stealth producer. Over three years since its initial issue, and a little over a year since Dilla's passing, Stones Throw steps in with an expanded reissue, adding four tracks to the original sequence with a second disc containing the instrumentals. When compared to Welcome 2 Detroit, it's measurably more scattered, with stray ideas adding up to a less than cohesive whole that nonetheless engages entirely. Here, he makes moves further away from his past in the Ummah and, apart from a couple brief interludes and sampled interjections, it's all his show, with his vocals on each cut -- including "Nothing Like This," where he sings with an effective flatness. If you've never cared for Dilla as an MC, it's unlikely that you will be won over by these rhymes, since they entail his usual circuit of smacking down haters, getting money, and getting laid. Those who come for the productions and nothing else have plenty to lap up. Even the relatively straightforward beats ("Reckless Driving," "Make'em NV") take a few listens to fully appreciate, with subtle layers hovering and swirling in the background. The two key, previously unreleased tracks are "Wild" and "Take Notice." On the former, drums and handclaps stumble over one another as Dilla is accompanied by an ambitious, young English kid doing a spirited cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize." On the latter, the slow-motion sci-fi theme from the original release's "Interlude" is extended and bolstered by a hot assist from Guilty Simpson. Nothing is likely to duke it out with Dilla's most known tracks, but the release is necessary for anyone with the slightest degree of interest.
