"I want to thank you, Miss Celie, fo evrything you done for me. I 'members that day in the store with Miss Millie - I's feelin' real down. I's feelin' mighty low. And when I seed you - I knowd they is a God. I knowd they is a God." -Sofia
Gonna be quick with this one, cause its late as hell and I've found a new addiction in Guitar Hero 3....
Around September of '06, me and Pooh had a few joints in the stash for Getback and we were happy with 'em....but nothing really had that 'umph' we were lookin for. We went through countless beat CD's from producers both big and small-time, but the heavens didn't open up until we took a trip to Daytwah, Home of the Greats (Dilla, Black Milk, Waajeed, Zo!, and unbeknownst to many.....Denaun Porter).
Me and Pooh flew out to Denaun's studio, played him the few songs we had for the record, and asked him if he had something that would fit. The 'ExtraHard' instrumental was the first beat he played.
Hot. Damn.
At that point all my worries about our album went away. I know'd there was a God somewhere and we had found the producer to take the project over the top. The chemistry between us and Denaun proved to be really incredible and it led to more work ('System' on the UK version, 'Second Chances' feat. Bilal and Darien Brockington, and me doin the hook for 'Paper Chaser,' the Playaz Circle joint he produced). I simply cannot heap enough praise upon this man. Beatwise, he can do it all from clean r&b shit, to freaky synth shit, to Donuts-style Dilla shit, to Fantastic Vol. 2-era Dilla shit, to dirty, drunken soul shit. Plus, his singing voice is incredible. If he ever decided to go hard on his 'singing producer' steez, Jazze Pha might find himself jobless.
Me and Pooh felt so reinvigorated after our Detroit visit that we went and laid this one immediately. We just wanted to make some feel good shit that you could ride to.
For the fithy leb'mth time.....the sample in this song is NOT saying 'where are my bitches'.....but we thought it would be funny to do a version with me, Pooh, and Khrysis singing it at the end. There's also a few extra harmonies in this version that I decided to leave off the final copy.
And sadly, no video for this one.....Denaun is busy Detoxing with the Good Doctor.
Trynna beat this last boss, Tigallo
