Back in 2021, @Erykah Badu appeared on Sonos Radio Hour and reflected on her time working with J Dilla while making her 2000 album 'Mama’s Gun.' She shared that during a visit to his basement studio in Detroit, he walked her through sampling on an MPC 2000.⁠ ⁠ “He has this massive record collection, and he told me to go and flip through the records, and I pulled out this one record by Tarika Blue. I didn’t know who that was or anything. I just pulled out the record, put it on the turntable, put it on the first song, and the first song was called ‘Dreamflower'...I told him, ‘Dilla, this is the part I wanna sample,’ and he goes, ‘OK, well, sample it.'⁠ ⁠ "He showed me how to do that. How to quantize—he’s not a real quantizer, you know? He plays all the drums live, generally, but he showed me how to loop these parts.” ⁠ ⁠ That Tarika Blue track, “Dreamflower,” ultimately became the backbone of “Didn’t Cha Know,” which later earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song in 2001.⁠ ⁠ _⁠ 📹 via Red Bull Music Academy⁠/YT⁠ ⁠#pigeonsandplanes #erykahbadu #jdilla #rnb #musicproduction
