Quote from Jimmy Jam:

"Q-Tip was a part of that record. J Dilla had done a remix of a Brand New Heavy song that had a feel to it I just loved. I thought if I could come up with something with that feel with Janet, and then put a Joni Mitchell sample over it, that would be a magic combination, taking things from different eras and weaving it together."

WTF? I remember an audio interview with Dilla where he referred to "some funny stuff" going on with that record, and the general consensus has always seemed to be that Dilla and/or Tip did the beat, and Jam & Lewis took credit for it, then threw Dilla a bone by letting him do a remix.

So which is it? paging Quest . . . . .
