3026994, Imani from The Pharcyde talks about first hearing Dilla's music (Tweet)

Apparently, all of the beats by Dilla that were on the first tape that the group heard made it on Labcabin - including Runnin and Bullshit.

The video is only two minutes long and it's worth checking out.

3027002, They cut like 4 different versions of “Devil Music” over Jay Dee beats.

Gonna have to assume those were all off the same tape as well.

Also, since we’re on the topic of said beat tape...Mad Skillz loves to tell the story about how he passed on the “Runnin” beat.

Aren’t we all HELLA THANKFUL that he did?? This dude ruined the two Jay Dee tracks he actually did pick.

This video is great, BTW.
3027004, wait, what?

'It's Goin' Down' and 'The Jam'? what's wrong with those? of course they aren't up there with The Pharcyde joints, but I like 'em!
3027020, Haha Mad Skillz is just not my cup of tea.

Sold all his records earlier this year EXCEPT a promo 12” that has the full instrumental for “The Jam.” Same record also has an instrumental for “It’s Going Down,” but it’s more of a “TV track” with Skillz’ horrible ad-libs.
