Barry White: Early Years [Sample of the Day]

by Kevin September 15, 2010 Sample of The Day

Listening to Rashid Hadee’s Dedication on repeat today… joint is still fresh. Got me in the mood to dig again. Hadee actually challenged me to find all the samples for this album a couple of years ago. I never came through. But I think this’ll be something I’ll work on… classic soul samples.

GZA: Killa Hills 10304

by Thomas January 24, 2010 Music Videos

I remember when this album first came out my friend and I listened to this song continuous to figure out what song the dude was singing (at the beginning and middle of the song). We knew it was a New Edition song, but couldn’t ID which one. After a day or so, my friend identified [...]

The Clipse were suppose to drop Exclusive Audio Footage on Elektra Records in 1999, however it was shelved by the record company for some reason. They did manage to release the single and video for “The Funeral” produced by The Neptunes, which seemed like a good introduction to the world IMO. They were eventually dropped [...]

DJ Premier: Recognize

by Thomas November 18, 2009 DJ Premier Wednesdays

Fifteen weeks strong of DJ Premier Wednesday. I’m going to keep it short as this week’s sample comes from The Lox sophomore album, We Are the Streets. Premier is a genius as the chop is masterful and Jadakiss sounds great over his production. Hit the cut for info and link. Props to SC.
