Lauryn Hill - Lost Ones Remix (J Dilla / Jazzy Jeff Remix)
For reasons that we don't need to discuss, I was searching through youtube for a certain song by DJ Jazzy Jeff (As We Go, if you must know, featuring some of the best sample scratches you'll ever hear, even if they're overwhelmed by Will Smith's signature cornball lyrics) when I came across the above remix of Lauryn Hill's Lost Ones. The remix, built around the J Dilla-produced beat from Q-Tip and the Brand New Heavies' Sometimes, is off of Jazzy Jeff's mixtape The Vibe I'm On, which was due to come out way back in '98 but never got an official release.
While we're at it, here's one more Jazzy Jeff-related remix which seemed rather appropriate for today, considering the 100 degree temperature outside:

Who would have guessed that, ten years later, both Lauryn Hill and Will Smith would have both gone crazy? (With "crazy" being somewhat more literal a diagnosis for Lauryn than for Will...)
