Great job by J Dilla. It was obvious Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis recreated one of his demo beats. Im sure the contract stated, they were allowed to do this in exchange for a large sum of money. Thats life. Peace.
I have been looking for this song since its released date, I remember having it on a CD and went through all the ones I had but could not find and today I heard it on the radio!
I love this song... my dog just passed away last night, and this was the first song I listened to :( although she was getting really old :( but I still love this song
@MyJunior1975 just because he never worked with Prince, Chaka, Mariah or Mary J does not make him a packback producer....he certainly never worked with the like of the Spice Girls, Usher, Jordan Knight or Gwen Stefani....which really says it all! Dilla did what he did because it was what he loved! Hip Hop was his life and he stayed true to it, which is in itself, considering the state of the music industry, caused by similar acts, there not artist, noted above, is a testament in itself!
@scottmangz Whether you like it or not, Dilla is, was and will always be referred to as a backpack producer. That's how he is seen by many and will continue to be seen that way- at least by those who are my age and really listen to music. As I said to TheSinghFIRE earlier, look up his discography and tell me that I'm lying. Feel free to stan for a dead man all you wish, but the fact remains that he is, indeed, a backpack producer.
@MyJunior1975 Busta Ryhmes, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, The Roots, D'Angelo, Brand New Heavies, Erykah Badu, GURU, Jazzy Jeff, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Daft Punk, Ghost Face, Raekwon, MF Doom...hardly say any of the above are 'backpack rappers', would you? Dilla was and still is one of the most influential hip hop produces to have every lived and a producer he was.
@scottmangz One: Daft Punk are not backpack rappers- much less rappers, period!!!
Two: Erykah Badu and Brand New Heavies are not hip hop, they are in the category of R&B/neo-soul.
Three: He was NOT influential in his life, much less his death. I was around listening to his music in that era and I can tell you that no one was really checking for him like that outside of backpackers- that is a fact!!!
From 1997-2006, he had numerous chances to produce evidence and has not done so. His mother Maureen Yancey is the executor of his estate, and even she has come forth with everything but that one single piece of information. Again, I state, Jam & Lewis never let anyone outside of their camp work on a song in their studio in Minnesota- where "Got Til It's Gone" was recorded and mixed. Do you really expect anyone to believe Dilla was at Flyte Tyme Studios when this song was made?
yo yo yall this is real music right here yall lol...as a 90's kid i luv the feeling lol...man yall i really need for yall to check out this group named "Good Vocation"...they are dope...idk where these guys came from...real talk...check it out yall
check out the Good Vocation - far away, its a marsha ambrosius remake but not the same subject matter...its DOOOPE them dudes flipped it so cold...check out all of there music word up and check all the other music...they remind me of atcq
I swear this has to be one of my favorite videos. All my people and their beauty. The moments captured, who ever directed this video did one hell of a job. I have to find that Albino's guys glasses, those are dope. Much love to all my people & anybody reading this. Be proud of who you are because The Evolution is near! Peace
@paulandj so who is that white boy you are talking about that's supposed to go through a hip hop phase? or do you mean the white girl shown in the beginning which the song was inspired by?
@UltraKid808 True, and I think this is one that is hard to better, even though Q-Tip features, Dilla has no creative input into this version of this great song. Probably my favourite Janet track by a whisper, pump her boo, pump her :-))
@nerd213 Uh Uh, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and whilst Dilla is the greatest hip hop producer ever to have lived in my opinion, he did not have any input on this version of the track. Peace.
@TheJeff2k I'm not even going to lower myself to disrespecting you, trying to mimic my use of language, so for future reference if you feel the need to 'share' knowledge, then try to remember there is a respectful way to do it, and until today, though I know all of the artists associated with that collective and pretty much most of the songs that have been influenced by that collective, I was not aware that they were a collective.
@TheJeff2k Additionally, whilst you may know every player in the premier league, it doesn't make you a professional footballer, and whilst I know very few players in the premiership i more than capable of playing in that division.
this video is such a wonderful depiction of how BEAUTIFUL BLACK people are, like James Brown once said...SAY IT LOUD, I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD, it's just sad we don't see videos like this nowadays
my first time i saw this video i think i was younger than 10 so i didn't know the meaning of the video. Now i see the apartheid references in it. Love this song and video.
Love this Flick and Joni Mitchell. and Yes Joni Mitchell Never Lied.. I am of this generation of Joni, when she first started, went to wood stock myself, Upstetting my Parents greatly.. The histrionics are amazing of her life( Joni's). Thank you for post, Blessings to all who read. R.I.P. Michael Jackson<3 U 4 ever and a day
In reference to this Janet Jackson video, I have to wonder about two things:
One: Why are Dilla fans- at least the ones under 30- insist that he had something to do with this song, when even Q-Tip himself clearly stated on numerous occasions in the past ten years that he was not involved in any way?
Also, is it just me or a lot of Dilla fans didn't give two shits about him when he was alive, and now since his death, they will attach his name to anything- even without reading the credits first?
One: If he really produced the song, why didn't he sue Jam & Lewis for production credits?
Two: Isn't it odd that Rockwilder, Kanye West and Jermaine Dupri got co-production credits on Janet Jackson albums, probably because they were there?
Three: This song, like every other Janet song was recorded and mixed in Minnesota- home of Flyte Tyme Sudios, while most of Dilla's stuff is in Studio A in Michigan.
Four: Dilla never really did R&B, outside of Soulquarian stuff.
@MyJunior1975 why didn't Pete Rock sue Puffy for Juicy? Jay Dee was a 'lab rat', he was a throwback of the old days, if things didn't go his way he would just get on with it. he wasn't like you, music came before money. 1996-1999 Dilla was part of the Ummah in that time, so it it was obviously he relocated for the timebeing. The soulquarian catalogue is reasonably big, he did songs like this- most notably the stuff he did with Erykah, D'Angelo and Bilal. I'd rather take Dilla's word than yours.
@TheSinghFIRE Did you take his word when he was alive...and did you listen to him when he was alive? Probably not. I don't recall any Dilla fans saying a word about what he did or didn't do until AFTER he died. So anyone who's a Dilla fan after 2006 has an opinion that holds no weight in my eyes.
Secondly, Pete Rock turned in the original version of "Juicy" and all Puffy and the Trackmasters did was recreate the song from scratch- in the same way A Tribe Called Quest did another Pete Rock beat
@TheSinghFIRE Also, another thing. Here's another clue to tell you that he had nothing to do with the song. Being that the song was recorded and mixed at Jam & Lewis' Flyte Tyme Studios, when have you ever known Jimmy & Terry to let someone outside of their production or artist collective work in their studio to produce a song? At best, Dilla is a backpack beatmaker, not a hitmaking producer. His discography proves this.
@MyJunior1975 thats pretty disregarding calling him a backpack beatmaker, dude was a producer. he played alot of instruments. im not gonna lie, i heard of Dilla back in the time of Finding Forever came out, i was like 13. but i remember hearing dilla joints without me knowing about. do you believe everything you read, dilla said himself in the interview, the whole session was him and ali shaheed muhammed. q-tip joined abit later. whatever you say, imma believe that jay dee did this.
@TheSinghFIRE It's not disregarding at all, it's a fact if you look at his discography, that says it all. 97% of the beats he made were primarily for backpack rappers. I've been up on him since 1995, and I can count on one hand how many famous people he did tracks for. I saw the interview where he claimed production duties. Anyone can claim something, but if he hasn't produced one document or paperwork showing that he was actually there during the creative process, why should I believe him?
Never been a big fan of Janet, but I checked this song out because of Tribe...and uhhh, damn. This really is just a damn good song in general. Everything about it...awesome stuff.
@herbescarce Or post colonial, the 60's 70's saw a wave of revolutions across the continent of Africa. Just as it was happening in the Americas in the 50s, 60s.
One of my very favourite videos... masterful. Stunning visuals. I spotted Alec Wek on there... shot in Africa, right? In case someone can answer... when is m coming back? Stupid question, I know... but I thought I'd just throw it out there.
@mjjfan993 Jay Dee is James Dubris. She was or is in a relationship with him. And he is the producer for So So Def Records. Just think Bow Wow or lil Bow Wow.
Sweet summer days are almost over.. Still i'll wait for you through the winter.. Patiently,patiently.. While my love grows stronger.. My promise to you i'll never break.. It is not a sacrifice for me to keep.. Though at times i do get lonel...y.. I want to give myself to you only.. Time alone gives me space to try and get to know me.. There'll be no guessing of the consumating of our love made in heavenRead More

i was 12 when this came out.
Used to only bump Michael Jackson´s music and off course I checked out Janet
But I heard this.. dug the scratches so bad my love for hiphop was born... REAL TALK

One of my very favourite videos... masterful. Stunning visuals. I spotted Alec Wek on there... shot in Africa, right? In case someone can answer... when is m coming back? Stupid question, I know... but I thought I'd just throw it out there.

I love this video, no mixed women and men (defining blackness as exotic but not pure blk)...pure blk beauty is beautiful. peace

@mjjfan993 Jay Dee is James Dubris. She was or is in a relationship with him. And he is the producer for So So Def Records. Just think Bow Wow or lil Bow Wow.

This is Ms. Jackson's best song, ever!
The video is creative. I love the fact that Joni Mitchell is on it too.

Sweet summer days are almost over.. Still i'll wait for you through the winter.. Patiently,patiently.. While my love grows stronger.. My promise to you i'll never break.. It is not a sacrifice for me to keep.. Though at times i do get lonel...y.. I want to give myself to you only.. Time alone gives me space to try and get to know me.. There'll be no guessing of the consumating of our love made in heavenRead More
