I think about him in that moment where, you know, the story of j d was essentially plucked out of obscurity. He was just a beet maker in detroit, until one of george clinton's band members, amp fiddler, introduced james to cutip,. who is the lead producer and vocalist for tribe call quest. People have even heard of em. It's hard, especiallybecause it's family myth, and i felt some kind of way about poking at myths.
