Can you bring us back to the creation of “Selfish” with Kanye West and J Dilla?

T3: [laughs] J was actually there. J, tell us your perspective.

Young RJ: The real story? Because you got the PC version of the story. Alright, so we walk in the studio. Kanye’s sitting there, John Legend’s sitting there. Matter of fact, he had a burgundy polo sweater. Cashmere. We walk in there, he says “this the joint.” Ain’t no options. This the only beat we playing.

T3: He played one beat.

Young RJ: “This the beat, that’s it for y’all.” Everybody looking around like “okay, we can work with this.”

Kanye said one beat!

Young RJ: That’s it!
