Attention Deficit: Original Samples

Olubowale Akintimehin Folarin aka Wale dropped his solid debut album Attention Deficit this past Tuesday (11/10). The feedback on the internet has been mostly positive from what I’ve seen with some disappointed fans here and there. This post isn’t about the review of the album (read review), but the samples.

The set is more than likely incomplete as all of these samples come from the linear notes and we know complete sample listing are rarely indicated in linear notes.  The sample plays good together from the classic Kool and the Gang jam “Summer Madness” to often used Spinners track from The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh soundtrack.

As always if we missed something hit the comments with the missing information.  Everything after the cut.
