Proof - Searchin'... [prod. J Dilla]

This is a Proof solo track recorded while he was a member of the group 5 Elementz, along with fellow Detroit MCs Thyme and Mudd. It was first released on the group's "Yester Years" EP (1996) and later appeared on their first and only album, "The Album Time Forgot" (1998).

Legendary producer J Dilla (known as Jay Dee at the time) produced the bulk of the album's tracks. On this classic song, he flips the same sample (Roy Ayers' "Searching") that Pete Rock used on the Pete Rock & CL Smooth song "Searching" (1995).

@47474747z not really, Lil wayne was gaining popularity even with all of them alive (except for Eazy-E) Popularity has little to do with skill of course

@IKIOLNO He's dead my friend. :/ he's not coming back. Besides, as long as the Wu, Redman, Immortal Technique, Mos Def, Outkast, The Roots and De La Soul, plus all the underground cats like Prince Ea and Lowkey, Diabolic etc. etc. are rocking, Hip Hop is very much alive. As talented as he was, Tupac certianly isn't coming back.
