New Discovery

I love finding music that appeals to me, especially from watching the boondocks (see television section)

So during one of the episodes, The granddad A.K.A. Robert Freeman, reminisces about his ''friend'' Moe, cheating on his girlfriend years ago, and the song playing in the back round was 'fancy clown' by Madvillain

Madvillan is basically MF doom and Madlib, a great producer from california (known for making Jaylib with J Dilla, and producing for people like Talib kweli and the Beat Konducta albums)

MF doom is good MC and a good producer in his own right. (check out the album Operation Doomsday to see what i mean)

The sample used is from a song called That aint the way you make love by ZZ hill, who was a blues/soul singer who sadly died at 48.

First One

So this is the first sample, with the song to match.

This sample, Tom Scott's "today", is basically a cover of the song "today", by Jefferson Airplane.

Watch as the sample comes in at 0:57 and 1:38 to 1:42. Can you guess which song sampled it?




T.R.O.Y - Pete Rock and CL Smooth, you should be able to hear when they sampled it :)
