On this fateful day in 1988, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince unleashed hip-hop's first double album, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper. In honor of the iconic LP turning 30, this week's #TBT features Fuse's 2013 sit-down with DJ Jazzy Jeff himself, who discussed the album's recording process and how dope it was to see fans still appreciating the project years later.
"We recorded the album in London, and I had a broken leg, and I had a cast from my hip to my ankle," he recalls. "A lot of the songs were made in the hotel room, and we just took them to the studio and, basically, recorded them and mixed them...I don't think you ever think, when you're doing something like this, that it's going to be 25 years old—and people are going to recognize it."
