Whew! When I took a listen to Lil’ Wayne’s latest album and got to the Swizz Beatz’s produced “Dr. Carter”, I was like damn, I know this sample’s been flipped before. It’s been flipped many times actually. Thomas came back and started emailing me all this other tracks that have sampled David Axelrod’s “Holy Thursday” and I was like ‘holy shit’. Anyway, there were so many great flips, that I had to pick three others to go against Dr. Carter and Swizzy.
Honestly, Swizz did nothing to the track. He basically just laid Weezy’s vocals over a loop. The other examples were flipped pretty tight. Beatnuts and Black Sheep? I torn between those to. But tell us what you think… or maybe on of the other tracks listed below…
“Holy Thursday” was also sampled in:
- Apache – “Tonto”
- Artifacts – “C’mon wit Da Git Down”
- InI – “Think Twice” (produced by Pete Rock)
- Mix Master Mike – “Black Level Clearance”
- Quasimoto – “Return of the Loop Digga”
- Red Hot Lover Tone – “Bust tha Maneuva”
- UNKLE – “Rabbit in your Headlights”
