“Common didn’t tell me, Dilla told him not to tell. And I didn’t know until the end how sick he was. I knew he had lupus but didn’t know how bad. So he was like that until the end, making beats and smoking blunts. … It was a very surreal moment when we heard Dilla had died. … We express ourselves through music and that day we recorded this song "Telephone”. … It was based on a story Dilla’s mother told me. Dilla would hallucinate often – he would be talking to someone when nobody was there. His mom would ask who he was talking to and he’d say: ‘Ol’ Dirty b*stard.’ ‘So what was he saying?’ ‘He was telling me what bus to get on when I cross over. He said: ‘Don’t get on the red bus, get on the white bus. The red bus looks fun, but that’s not the one’.‘ So Dilla’s mother told me that and when we were in the studio the night we heard about his passing, we paid homage to him, resting in beats, by writing that song “Telephone”.“
