Never heard of her. That was kinda cool.

Between '97 and 2003, our home base became Electric Lady Studios, primarily to record D'Angelo's Voodoo. But it really provided us a great reason to have extended slumber parties. It's where we ended up recording Common's Like Water for Chocolate and Electric Circus, Erykah's Mama's Gun, the Roots' Things Fall Apart and Phrenology, parts of Slum Village's Fantastic Vol. 2. Basically, there's 90 seconds in D'Angelo's minute, so if he's going to be at the studio at three, he's going to be there at seven. Which means that, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., me, Dilla, and James Poyser would work on Common stuff, and then we'd start fucking around with D'Angelo from eight until four in the morning. That was an ongoing system for six years. At one point, it just became such a factory that we would create five to seven tracks a day, and then people would just kind of auction on them. So Common was the initial owner of the music to D'Angelo's "Chicken Grease" and D'Angelo had "Geto Heaven, Pt. 2", and they just traded them. That was the golden era.

The Badu track reminds me a lot of older Etro Anime stuff. There drums were programmed, but I have gotten some great ideas from listening to their albums.





Would have loved to seen Jojo live with these guys...

Very cool stuff- I love that record, and it's always interesting to hear someone that's both hip and that you admire talk about something like a record that you love.

Does anyone know what his cymbal stack is? He uses two cymbals stacked together and a tamb on top. Just curious what the stack actually is. Maybe two 20" Crash of Doom cymbals?

My band plays Hard Times from John Legend - love his snare sound/work on that tune.

Plus I get to break out my 12" pork pie lil squealer
