Thanks Speakerhead

The sample sounds like he used the first few seconds of the song. The breaks had it listed (even though someone didn’t agree) and http://djpremiertrackology.8kilo.com/ had the same one listed.

The sample link you put up sounds like it as well. For those who downloaded….thoughts.

Thanks for the info.

Thomas:
I don’t think the Brian Bennett Collage “Love For Sale” sample that you list for Christina Aguilera’s “Thank You (Dedication to the Fans)” is correct. I don’t think DJ Premier utilized a sample on that song’s production, I believe he used the E-Mu Mo’Phatt sound module to make it.

Check this out (http://djpremierblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/dj-premier-and-his-planet-phatt-sound.html) as well as additional link (http://www.zshare.net/audio/639339077c71c320/) to see what I’m talking about.

The 2nd link (mp3) plays the the Mo’Phatt’s stock library sounds that DJ Premier used to make various songs like: “Thank You (Dedication to the Fans)” (Christina Aguilera), the Intro for “PLAYTAWIN” (Gang Starr), and “Back 2 Back” (Guru). I actually re-created the “PLAYTAWIN” intro using the E-Mu Proteus 2000 as it has some of the same stock library sounds as the Mo’Phatt and Planet Phatt.

Just something interesting that I read a while back on the Premier Blog and thought I’d toss in since you’re talking about the Christina Aguilera song, which is my favorite off that album for Premier’s production alone. It’s crazy how he made a beat that ill just using a stock sound off the Mo’Phatt (great piece of equipment). Nice post btw! #PremierWednsdays Peace ✌

I ‘m buggin’ off the Sh*t right here. I heard rumors about this collabo but never thought to listen to the album(s). The bad part is my sister in law has the cd. I’ve looked @ it in her cd book 1000s of times

………..”Ain’t No Other Man”?!?! For real? That’s nutz!
