Frank-N-Dank – 48 Hours (Deluxe Edition) (2013) (2CD Set)

Official release of this 2003 album that was produced by the late J. Dilla and shelved for a decade. Some records are steeped in mythology. Frank N Dank's 48 Hours is just such a recording. Why so few samples from Dilla? Was that MCA's decision as they didn't t believe they could get clearances? Why did MCA shelve the recording for so long? Where's the "original version"? There are nearly more questions about this album than cuts on the album. But according to Frank, "contrary to popular belief there was never an original version of 48 Hours. We started recording songs to sample driven beats of Dilla's and we got 80% of the album done and Dilla decided to change the beats to all the songs." That's right, it wasn't MCA's legal department, it was Dilla's creative vision that stripped out the samples. 48 Hours is now at last ready for the respect and proper release it has deserved all along, with the complete album as well as a second disc of Dilla's instrumentals included. As Frank reminds us, "This is the exact version of 48 Hours that we (Frank N Dank & Dilla) turned in to MCA and the way Dilla intended it to be!"
