There's cool and very cool, then there's ice, then there's liquid nitrogen and finally there's J.Dilla.

You know how Daft Punk manipulate and combine samples in such a way that it sounds like an entirely new, original composition, rather than just a bunch of snippets of a song put together?

Workinonit is about as far as you could get from that. Just sounds like random bits of the (awesome) 10cc tune taped together. May as well listen to the original, then you get to hear the funny lyrics and the sections missing from this, like the "well we've never done a days work in our lives, and our records sell in zillions".

@M. R. so ridiculous, only reason is because it appeared in Dave Chappelle's netflix special and that won a Grammy. Big label that owns the song wouldn't care until there's a paycheck to be made.

3 years later, I heard Dilla's Donuts. Unfortunately, when I heard about the lawsuit, I'm really pissed. They really waited for someone to use this and get a lawsuit for this. The estate needs to fight this greedy lawsuit.
