i read your post about jay’s team-ups and definitely jay-z fits so good in timbo’s style. just blaze has a fenomenal style too that brings up that jay’s lyrical power we know so very well… but timbo takes number one.
and if we think in a trio i might say timbo, jay and missy make an explosive team work: timbo doin his shit, jay spitin is fire and missy givin that nasty woman flava! know waht i mean?! =)
Good work with this site man!

jayyeezy… yeah, I may revisit these in the future and do a Kanye sample collection. I did this post went I was just doing snippets, but now that they has been an interest in whole collections I will probably get around to this.

Duck Brown… actually there are 2 songs sampled on “We Major”… “Action” by Orange Krush & “Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)” by Stevie Wonder

Dope post, good work Kevin. I got a good one for you cause even my crate diggin friends are stumped on this one. Where did Kanye get those sounds for “We Major” on Late Regisration? Maybe thats just not a sample

Fundamental… my sources tell me the sample used for that was “Daddy’s All Gone” by the Average White Band. I never heard the Freeway/Twista song though.

Props on these posts, man. Yo, can you find the sample to that Freeway & Twista song “Show Go On”? I’ve always thought the melody was a familiar video game sample, but could never put my finger on it…Gauntlet? Anyway, I don’t even think that song was ever released in full version.

Thanks!

Agha — I don’t know what the main part of the song samples, but the beat switch at the end is sampled from The Time’s “Get It Up” off their 1981 debut album.

No prob man… DAMN, those are some tough questions, but I took a minute to think about em. My all time top 3 fav producers? That one’s tough, cuz my tastes are constantly changing. I think my number one, you’d be surprised based on this site… Timbaland. More ol’ school Timbaland, than the Timbo you hear on radio today. The only reason why I haven’t done a spotlight on him yet is cuz he’s got so much music! Plus I haven’t really been into the pop stuff he’s been doing lately. Anyway, I’m gonna cop out and say Kanye and Just Blaze for the other two.

Holding it down right now? That’s hard to say, as a lot of cats are doing there thing. Commercially, I think The Hitmen did a wonderful thing with their joints off American Gangster and the Big Doe Rehab. But, I’m gonna have to say the producer’s in the Justuce League camp (9th Wonder, Nicolay, Khrysis, Illmind) and really holding it down in the underground. 9th & Nicolay both have solo albums coming out in Jan/Feb and both should be HOT.

To answer your last question… Jay-Z & Just Blaze. I think Just brings out a better side of Jay than Kanye does. They work well together, but I’m gonna have to throw one in there that you didn’t mention… Jay-Z & Timbaland. Tim def brings out the creative side in Jay and if Tim decides to come back to hip hop, I think that’s what his first project should be.

Thanks for responding, I asked a few other places but only you seemed to have replied, I appreciate that, keep up the excellent work.

Ill site, once again thanks for taking the time to help me out.

P.S. You seem to really know your stuff when it comes to compiling these producer production-credits, who are your top 3 fave of all time and who do you think is holding it down right now? Also, would you rather hear a Jay-Z album comprised of Just-Blaze bangers or Kanye beats?

Playa — naw man. To tell you the truth, I’m not even familiar with that track. I did a quick look around and the only thing I found was that the track is produced by Cool & Dre. I’ll keep a look out though!
