“‘How High,’ Red and Meth wasn’t happy about,” Erick Preaching of the epic EPMD exposed in a special meeting with HipHopDX on February 27.
Preaching defined that he was speaking about the remix, which examples the Silver Convention’s 1975 jam “Fly, Robin, Fly.” That variation was made use of in the tune’s video clip.
“I made the original version, which is the hard version. But then when I made it popular with the ‘Fly, Robin, Fly,’ they was pissed. Because they come to the video shoot, and they’re expecting to hear something else, and they hear this so-called ‘commercial pop record.’”
He proceeded: “Russell [Simmons] and Lyor [Cohen] was there, and they made sure that it get done. […] And it went platinum.”
