Tupac + Jazz = Kendrick? While producing “For Free?”, Terrace Martin asked himself: “What jazz would Pac like?” I love how he thinks about music. Sometimes the inspiration is just as fascinating as the song. Watch his interview with GoWithElmo for more. #TerraceMartin #KendrickLamar #Tupac #MusicHistory #ToPimpAButterfly

One of Missy Elliott’s biggest hits almost never happened. Timbaland thought they were finished with the album. But Missy knew something was missing. One last moment in the studio led to “Get Ur Freak On” — and the rest is music history. Sometimes the biggest hits happen when you refuse to call it a day. #MissyElliott #Timbaland #GetUrFreakOn #MusicHistory #HipHop

For years, people assumed Bryce Wilson was the male voice on Groove Theory’s 1995 hit “Tell Me.” But that voice actually belongs to Trey Lorenz, who famously performed “I’ll Be There” with Mariah Carey. Trey originally recorded the song for his own project. When Groove Theory revisited it, they kept some of his original vocals. And Trey says he went away on tour, only to return and discover the song was climbing the charts. Did you know that was Trey singing? #GrooveTheory #TreyLorenz #90sRnB #MusicHistory #AmelLarrieux
