I've been on a weird music kick lately. Kinda bored with everything and can't find anything in my itunes. That's when I know I need to buy more music. So since I just got some cash from a quick freelance job. I went and bought some the oddest shit you might ever find in my collection and stepped outside my boundaries. Folks hell hath frozen over I guess. I usually play it safe but I felt adventurous (it helped that this song had the Phontiggalo co-sign) but regardless. I bought some Brand New Heavies, Sy Smith, Citizen Cope (which I've forever slept on because Henry blasted the records all day back in the days, and I had to have my own music) and Muse. I also purchased Tabi Bonney's new album "DOPE" but that's forever in my itunes so that ain't anything new. I also bootlegged Ego Trippin and Happy People/U saved me while I was bored. Thought some of the people that know me might be proud. The rest of ya'll can suck a dick though cuz I know you don't give a shit what I'm about.
Back with a whole lotta sample of the day goodness. Someone put together a sample mixtape for Doggystyle. So I'll post that link up for you, and I'll use one for a SOTD.
02. Slave’s “Watching You” & George McRae’s “I Get Lifted” (Gin & Juice)
03. Funkadelic’s “Flashlight” (Tha Shiznit)
04. Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh’s “La Di Da Di,” Kyu Sakamoto’s “Sukiyaki” & Rose Royce’s “Ohh Boy” (Lodi Dodi)
05. James Brown’s “Funky President” (Murder Was The Case)
06. Ohio Players’ “Funky Worm” (Serial Killa)
07. The Counts’ “Pack of Lies,” Parliament’s “Give up the Funk” & “P-Funk,” Funkadelic’s “(Not Just) Knee Deep,” George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog” & Tom Brown’s “Funkin’ 4 Jamaica” (Who Am I [What’s My Name])?
08. Lyn Collins’ “Think (About It)” ( Ain’t No Fun [If the Homies Can’t Have None])
09. Richard Field’s “If It Ain’t One Thing, It’s Another” (Doggy Dogg World)
10. Bernard Wright’s “Haboglabotribin” & Curtis Mayfield’s “Eddie You Should Know Better” (Gz and Hustlas)
11. Isaac Hayes’ “The Look Of Love” (Gz Up, Hoes Down)
P.S. Some fun Sample trivia for you. I might have been mistaken when I said that Audio Two's Top Billin had the most samples ever in Hip-Hop. Technically, as far as the beat and the whole thing, it could be. However, in this mixtape, Lyn Collin's "Think (About it)" is the original source of that "WOO! YEAH!" James Brown Sample that pops up in EVERY GOD DAMN SONG. (The Lyn Collins song was written and produced by Mr. Brown) Just for fun, I went and found a list. Check it out HERE.
