Immobilarity: Original Samples

Immobilarity (I Move More Officially by Implementing Loyalty and Respect in the Youth) is Raekwon’s sophomore album that had mad hype, but was a HUGE disappointment to many.  I remember in College my roommate and I skipped class to head to the Blockbuster music store to cop this joint.  By the time we got back to the room….faces were TIGHT.

Putting this set together I listened to the album again…not really THAT bad…follow me.  The lyrics are there..peep “Live From New York,” “Yae Yo,” “Casablanca,” and “Sneakers,” etc.  However, the BAD tracks were TERRIBLE.  Just see “Raw,” “All That I Got Is You Pt. II,” “Fuck Them,” and “Pop Shit.”

The major problem with this album is the absence of RZA’s board work (or the Wu-Elements) and his partner in rhyme Ghostface Killah.  Not sure what was going on with Rae and RZA/Ghost, but the void is felt.  The tracks on Imm… dont’ give Rae’s lyrics the proper canvas to shine.  The beats seem hollow to me.  The hard hitting drums, percussion, numerous layers found on OB4CL are replaced by simple loops and weak drums.  Ghost is replaced by the god awful American Cream Team sans Lord Superb?

So…we have the sample set.  Big difference from the OB4CL samples just off of what was used.  We are probably missing some as most of the samples contained in the set were in the linear notes.

We are missing Jimmy’s Stewart’s “Castle of Spain.”  I couldn’t find a Youtube clip of the song to rip nor could I find the mp3 to buy.  So if anyone has it…hit the comments.  Also, tyring to ID all of the vocal samples in “Sneakers” as well.  I have three.
