02/28: DJ Felli Fel Talks About "Get Buck in Here"
From the
AllHipHop.com interview of DJ Felli Fel whose single, "Get Buck in Here", features Diddy:
AllHipHop.com: So let's start with this "Get Buck." You have a lot of different artist looks on that song. What was your thought pattern in putting that together?
DJ Felli Fel: I did the record and I was with Akon in Vegas at the studio. We were both out there for All-Star weekend. Basically, he wanted to get into the studio and I was working on some stuff, and he heard that track. He loved that record, and he wanted to jump on it. It just came together from there. Once that hook was done, I could get a good gage of who [I wanted] on the record. I picked Diddy because the record was kind of like a club kind of record and Diddy can do that. The first thing I had to do was pick artist that didn't have projects that were currently out. Just from the beat and Akon's hook, I knew this record had the potential to be a big record, on the radio and in the club, but not if there were artists on it that could prevent it from getting played. Diddy's project was over, I knew he would sound good on the record, and it was just a matter of him liking it. "Diddy loved it, he jumped on it. The next person I thought of was Ludacris, because I felt the record needed some depth and Luda's got such a strong presence and not just from a lyrical standpoint, but he's a character. I thought he would do that track justice, which he did. The record was pretty much done, but it wasn't slowed down at the end. I didn't do that to the record until the very end when Akon, Diddy and Luda were already on the song. I wanted to do something different. I felt the record was cool but, it needs something else. I got that idea from being a DJ. It was a house record in the late 80s that slowed down from like 125 beats per minute to maybe 60 beats per minute. I always wanted to do that to a record. It had never been done to a Hip-Hop record and the first person I thought of was Lil Jon. It kind of gave you that feel that it was time to get Crunk. I was actually recording around the corner at a studio in Hollywood that's like five minutes from where Jon stays at. He was like "Come over man." I did and we partied for a minute and he knocked his part out, and it was a wrap. I go with Vibe and feel, and all those people felt right.
