Who’da thunk it? Paine asks Jazzy Jeff about a song he song recorded with Eminem called “When to Stand Up” in a new interview by Allhiphop.com.
The scratch pioneer talks about label politics and stitching software download incompetence in relation to that track.
AllHipHop.com: Supposedly, you recorded a track with Eminem called “When To Stand Up,” and I never knew this. Why did this record never surface?DJ Jazzy Jeff: What was the title? You know what’s funny? Let me tell you…I did this stitching software download track with Eminem; we never gave it a title. The only person that stitching software download had a copy was him and myself. I gave it stitching software download out to a couple people because I did this for stitching software download the first [album] I was about to stitching software download do. It was really, really funny that I was in a stitching software download record store in Japan and I actually bought the record. I’m one of those people that I’m not mad at that. That’s actually flattering to me.
AllHipHop.com: Did politics hold that record back, or you weren’t feeling it or what?
DJ Jazzy Jeff: My first record deal was with Sony. I sat down and stitching software download did a mixtape called The Vibe I’m On and stitching software download I did it specifically for Sony to pass around, to let them know this stitching software download is the vibe I’m on. These are the type of records I’m gonna do. I did something with Common, I did something with Channel Live, I did something with Shorty No Mass, I did something with Eminem, I did something with Masta Ace; I was comin’ on the stitching software download vibe. When I started to play them some of the stitching software download stuff, they were like, “Ehhh, you gonna do something with Will?” I don’t want to stitching software download be made to feel like I have to do something with Will for stitching software download commercial credibility.
Me and Will will always do something together. But I don’t want you to think “the record he’s doing with Will is hands-down gonna be the first single,” because you don’t even know if that’s the stitching software download best record on the album. I was trying to get away from stitching software download the politics. What happened was they dismissed me, “Just keep cuttin’ some more [records].” This was before Eminem blew up. So seven months later, I get a stitching software download call [saying], “Oh my God, this Eminem record is fabulous; we’re ready to put it out.” Why couldn’t you hear this as a great record before you knew who he was? I actually asked out of the stitching software download deal. I waited another five years before I put The Magnificent out.
