The Listening: Original Samples

The Listening: Original Samples

How ’bout some more 9th Wonder today? Thomas and I have been working on this set for a little while and although this set is missing a couple of tracks, I decided to go ahead and put it up. If anyone wants to help, the missing tracks are annotated below. I was also unable to find a sample credit for “The Get-Up”. But why delay this set any further?

*Thanks to the readers, this set is complete!

Released on February 25, 2003, The Listening is the debut album for North Carolina group Little Brother. Listening to the production on this album and then to the samples, you can truly appreciate 9th Wonder’s talent. In my opinion, no one chops an old soul record quite the way 9th Wonder does. Why this album never received any mainstream play, is beyond me. The Listening will forever be a classic in my book.

    Michael Franks-I Really Hope It’s you was sampled for “All For You” not “For You”.

    Thanks Soundtracker!

    Damn, you’re right Trusense…. I had that in my Minstrel Show set. I don’t know how that fell through.

    oh yeah maybe im just talking crazy

    but i was listening the g-unit crew albums

    and maybe just maybe a sample set of those would be nice

    but thats just me.

    if im tlaking crazy please slap me

    Yeah, I gotta keep diggin’ the complete that Getback set. Sources are hard to come by for that one. And no em, you’re not being crazy. G-Unit’s album has some great samples. I started working on it months ago and have like 3 or 4 more songs to make it complete. So we’ll release that one soon.

    Hi Kevin,

    Is it possible you can also upload it on Zshare?

    I can’t download on megaupload on my current computer.

  15. Posted April 22, 2008 at 6:36 pm | Permalink

    Sorry, zshare has a 100mb file limit, which is why I use Megaupload (500mb limit). This collection is over 100mb.

    atmosphere samples?

    Posted April 25, 2008 at 7:03 am | Permalink

    Okay, Kevin.

    I have been able to download it now.

    I was wondering when your uploading these samples, can you use two different download links? Like megaupload and Rapidshare.

    Peace and good work.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yo, ya’ll did it with this one. I have been looking for the sample for this album for a minute, Especially Whatever you say.

  20. Posted May 29, 2008 at 10:12 pm | Permalink

    yeah, this set is tight. Once Getback is compiled, my life will be complete. Glad you like!

    “Nighttime Maneuvers” has vocal sample from: Blackstar ft. Black Thought - Respiration (Flying High Remix).

    I’ll get the track and up it later…unless Kev has it.
