mfuqua23 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 He said still cuz he don't know. JJFP have alwayz been buddies. Just not in contact wit each other as much. Jeff worked wit Em on this track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I think Eminem only made the reference 2 JJ+FP becuz Jazzy Jeff produced the track and as a way 2 say it waz in their late-80's hay-day when he got interested in Hip-Hop. JJ+FP have the kinda problems that every group has from time 2 time, like creative differences and having different opinions on where the group should go but they never had a real fall out. Eminem dosen't know what he's talking about. I asked Keith Pelzer who waz working at A Touch of Jazz at the time what Jeff thought about lines like that and he said Jeff dosen't pay attention 2 that stuff at all. Besides, he didn't hear the lyrics until the vocals were layed down. I'm sure u've heard "Potnas"...i think that pretty much sums everything up.

mfuqua23 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 JJFP is one of the greatest duos of hip hop. Along wit Eric B & Rakim. Outkast. They're like Batman and Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he truly meant it because when he won his last Grammy, he thanked a bunch of people who inspired him to rap. He did not name JJFP as one of his influences.

fan 4ever Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Personlly, i think he's just sucking up to Jazzy, because Jazzy gave him the chace to be on a song with a legend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj+fp2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 actually, a few years ago when em received an award (i can't remember which one) he thanked to alot of people and he mentioned jazzy jeff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted September 15, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 jeff did that track with eminem b4 he blew up..b4 any1 knew who he was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Jazzy Jeff also put him on "The Vibe I'm On" which came out nearly a year b4 Eminem dropped "My Name Is..." I don't see his line a way of give JJ+FP props at all. They get tossed in that group of people like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice when it comes 2 Hip-Hop/Rap acts of the late 80's that got tons of mainstream success. Eminem dissed most of those guys (not JJ+FP tho'). The lyrics strictly seem like a way 2 mention JJ+FP and 2 take it back 2 when he started rappin.' That's just me tho.'
