Featuring samples from the Joni Mitchell recording "Big Yellow Taxi," Courtesy of Warner Bros. Records Inc., by Arrangement with Warner Special Products, Inc.

Note: Despite common rumor, there's no credible evidence that James Yancey aka Jay Dee aka J-Dilla produced the original version. See Dan Charnas's 2023 soft cover reprint of his book "Dilla Time" for the reporting on this very issue. It was a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis production that very obviously borrowed from Jay Dee's production style of that era but there's no proof Yancey actually worked on the beat at any stage.
