It's rare to find a pure concept album at any given point in the history of recorded music. As far as hip-hop goes, the only other stand-out example that comes to mind is Prince Paul’s A Prince Among Thieves -- an epic, cameo-filled hip-hopera. For Donwill's ambitiously conceptual solo project, the Tanya Morgan MC chose to mirror the storyline of Stephen Frears’ High Fidelity, a film that Don has claimed holds many parallels to his own personal life. In order to provide the album with its narrative skeleton, the tracks are peppered with dialogue lifted straight from the film, delivered by Don himself (as Don Cusack). It isn’t long before you begin to get the impression that these allusions to the film would have worked better as a collection of good ol’ fashioned samples rather than mediocre reenactments. That being said, there most likely were clearance (and financial) issues that probably made this move unfeasible. To make things worse, the skits aren’t broken up into separate tracks, but are instead tacked on to the end of songs, making listening to the album in its entirety more than once that much more frustrating.
