Finally, the GOOD version, of the Reunion Fanvid I
wanted to make. Reunion was recorded in 2004 for
the Detroit Deli (A Taste of Detroit) album. It
features Dilla on the first verse, T3 and Elzhi
rap about former member of Slum Village : Baatin.
"A lot of people think that's a Dilla track, but
it was produced by Black Milk, Dilla is just
rapping on it. Basically what happened was me and
[producer] Young RJ went over Dilla's house,
playing joints for him off the album 'cause we
wanted to work with him on it. We played a couple
joints and he picked to rap on that one.
Originally it was supposed to be me, him, Baatin
and Elzhi, but Baatin at the time wasn't feeling
doing anything Slum Village.
Me and Elzhi already had our verses, then Dilla
put his "rep mo' D than 12 Eminems" verse down,
then Elzhi said, "You know what, I'ma keep it
real. I'ma tell people what really happened with
Baatin cause they lookin at us like, 'T3 kicked
Baatin out.'" I didn't kick him out, he left the
group. Elzhi wanted to tell the truth and he did
it. That's when he put his "unlawful demons" verse
down. He called Baatin up maybe like a week after
he did it and was still asking him to get on the
song, but Baatin never did.
It was supposed to be four of us but Baatin was
going through his whole struggle. I'm kind of mad
that we never got to make a reunion LP, 'cause me
and Dilla always talked about doing it. It's kind
of upsetting that we didn't get to close the Slum
Village chapter like that. Now it's at a point
like, where do we go from here?" - T3

______________________________________
Slum Village is a hip hop group from Conant
Gardens, Detroit, Michigan.
The group was formed by three members: rappers
Baatin and T3, plus rapper and producer Jay Dee.
Jay Dee left in 2002 to pursue a solo career with
MCA Records and was replaced by Elzhi, after which
Baatin also left due to health complications. The
group has played a vital role in the careers of
several Detroit-based Hip-hop artists, such as
Frank-N-Dank, Platinum Pied Pipers, Dwele, and
Black Milk.
Jay Dee era: Baatin, T3, and Jay Dee grew up
together in the Conant Gardens neighborhood of
Detroit and attended Pershing High School. The
group steadfastly became popular in Detroit's
underground hip hop scene. Jay Dee also became a
member of the production team known as The Ummah,
who produced hits for a number of R&B and hip hop
musicians. Slum Village's first album, 1996's
Fantastic, Vol. 1, was not officially released
until 2005 but highly sought after in underground
circles. In 1998, the group opened for another hip
hop trio, A Tribe Called Quest, on their farewell
tour.
Originally signed to the now defunct A&M record
label, the group were forced to postpone the
release of their official debut album due to label
politics, but in June 2000 they released
Fantastic, Vol. 2 on GoodVibe Recordings. Also
that year they released an album called Best Kept
Secret, under the alias J-88, which featured
remixes and leftover material from Fantastic, Vol.
1.
Elzhi era: For the 2002 release of Trinity (Past,
Present and Future) on Barak/Capitol Records,
Baatin brought in Elzhi to join the group as Jay
Dee left to focus on his solo career. The album
was a moderate success and contained the single
"Tainted", produced by Karriem Riggins and
featuring Dwele. Also in 2002, Dirty District, a
compilation of songs by Detroit rappers largely
produced by T3 and "RJ" Rice, was released.
The group then became a duo consisting of T3 and
Elzhi, when Baatin became sick touring in France
shortly before the release of their 2004 album,
Detroit Deli (A Taste of Detroit) and departed to
seek treatment . The album included the hit
single, "Selfish", produced by Kanye West and
featuring John Legend. The song samples a part of
the intro to the hit song "Call Me" by Aretha
Franklin. After parting ways with Capitol Records
in 2005, they released Prequel to a Classic, a
mixtape of mostly previously unreleased material,
followed by a self-titled release in October of
the same year.
In his Slum Village years, Elzhi has released two
mixtapes—Witness My Growth and Europass—and
one album, The Preface, which was released on Fat
Beats Records in August 2008.
Former member Jay Dee died on February 10, 2006
after being diagnosed with TTP and Lupus. Future
projects by Slum Village include an album made
with unused J Dilla beats and an album produced
mostly by Black Milk.

About:Fantastic, Vol. 2:
Fantastic, Vol. 2 (also referred to as Fantastic
Volume II) is the second album from Detroit's Slum
Village, released in 2000. During the time of its
release the group was still composed of its
earliest members T3, Baatin and Jay Dee. The album
was initially completed in 1998 for A&M Records
shortly before the label became obsolete, leaving
Slum Village in limbo for over a year. During this
period, however, the group's producer Jay Dee
greatly increased his profile through work with
artists such as Common, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu
and A Tribe Called Quest. At the same time
tremendous acclaim from notables such as ?uestlove
of The Roots and Q-Tip built up anticipation for
the long-delayed LP.
Slum Village eventually found an outlet with
Goodvibe Recordings & Barak Records, and released
Fantastic, Vol. 2 in summer 2000. Although sales
were slow (due to heavy bootlegging[citation
needed]) the group nevertheless had a huge impact
on the underground circuit and were proclaimed
torchbearers for the departing A Tribe Called
Quest. In particular Jay Dee's much lauded
production work, full of subtle grooves and soul
claps, was a blueprint for the direction that neo
soul would take in the coming years. The album was
re-released minus the original version of
"Fall-N-Love", which was replaced by the remix due
to sample clearance issues, as well as their
collaboration with Common, "Thelonius".
