It definitely took me on a tri...Loved this episode! It definitely took me on a trip down memory lane. Big ups to everyone involved in the podcast.<br /><br />On a personal note, I was in HS when I first heard of Jay Dee via Runnin' and even back then I was all about checking the producer credits. Before stumbling upon his music, I was all about Primo, Pete Rock, Buckwild, RZA, etc. (I'm from L.A. but I listened to a lot of East Coast/underground West Coast Hip Hop). Having the privilege of following Jay Dee's output and evolution in real time was a once in a lifetime experience for me as a music listener. I was like a Pokemon trainer trying to get my hands on anything he was associated with!<br /><br />Before I start writing a term paper on all the WTF moments I experienced listening to him, just wanted to drop a few of my personal fave joints that I'm sure you're very well aware of, but I didn't hear them mentioned in the podcast (there truly is so much to pick from). Some of my favorite remixes of his:<br /><br />Bahamadia - One Fourteen<br />Spacek - Eve<br />Four-Tet - Serious as Your Life (if you heard the original version of this, all I can say is that I hope they paid Jay well!)<br />Mood - Secrets of the Sand<br />Toshi Kubota - Nothing But Your Love<br />Slum Village - Hold Tight (with the Change sample)<br />Frank N Dank - Give it Up Pt. 2<br />Brother Jack McDuff - Oblighetto<br /><br />Also, as far as joints that I did not like at first - Frank N Dank's 48 Hours, within the context of them being J Dilla synth beats, is nuts! And I totally feel you about how you weren't into Welcome 2 Detroit initially. I honestly felt the same way when I heard Make Em NV off Ruff Draft, but once it hit me, that joint stayed on repeat! Aight I'mma chill, but again, great stuff! I'll have to tap in to your other shows as well.
