J Dilla’s Magic Trick – Recreating Erykah’s “Didn’t Cha Know”
Dilla said “Pick a record to sample, any record” and the result was Erykah Badu’s “Didn’t Cha Know” from 2000’s Mama’s Gun. Let’s recreate this song and talk about the story behind it.
(Also, at the end I said “The Common song Open Your Eyes” but obviously you know what I meant. Dilla sampled “Open Your Eyes” FOR the Common song “The Light”)
