Jay Dee & The Notorious B.I.G.?

Hear it straight from Frank (Frank N’ Dank) and J Dilla as they tell tales of meeting Q-Tip for the first time, fist fights over S950 vs ASR-10 capabilities, and a rare studio session with Notorious B.I.G. It hurts to see Dilla in a wheelchair, nonetheless this is still a very important piece of footage. Big shout to my man Mr Floyd for the hookup!

Original Demo Version


Born Again Version

If I’m not mistaken, this is from the Frank N Dank’s European Vacation DVD, which I *still* need to find. I knew this whole story but I didn’t know Dilla was actually in the studio while B.I.G. recorded it. Dope.

p.s. The Nottz beat for Born Again was no fucking slouch EITHER.

Nottz might be my favourite producer whenever he comes to mind. The bounce in his beats just make everything fun.

i cant lie…the nottz version wins, but this is cool to see that they linked up before. i had the jay dee version from when around the time dilla passed and someone put it online. i never knew it was official though

This did come as a surprise when I first saw this. The beat is dope. Just to think this was a diss track for Pac`. The “Do For Love ” beat he did for 2Pac was crazy also. Rest In Power Dilla.

thats pretty cool.
the Dilla Version has a classic sound = DOPE
the Nottz Version is just straight head nod = DOPE

good stuff.

By the way guys, he didn’t say “not that Dilla kid” in the original. You’re not hearing it correctly. He says “not that THINNER kid, bandana, tattoos….” obviously talking about 2Pac. They obviously edited out in the Born Again version because it didn’t make any sense to leave it in anymore. Why cause more static after both of them are dead?
