Method Man & Redman - Cereal Killer

I feel the need for some real hip hop. Method Man and Redman from 1999. Full on from the first second heard force filth.

I Hate I Walked Away / We Made It

Bad sampling just steals a riff and makes a fast buck off someone else's talent. Good sampling takes something, cuts it up, stretches it, reinterprets it and makes something new. Something that does justice to both the new track and the old. I was listening to tunes from Syl Johnson's Back For A Taste Of Your Love album (available at Dust2Dust) and the opening bars of the track I Hate I Walked Away just seemed so familiar. I couldn't work out why I knew them until after the 8th bar when, instead of Syl's words, I wanted to sing along "We Made It". I quickly found the tune I wanted, listened, and yes, there was the sample. But not just taken unadulterated. No. Pitched up, just the strings looped a little early to add a jump and then at the bridge a loop of that 8th bar. Nice work by Carlos “Six July” Broady. Compare and contrast, enjoy the sample game and appreciate what I can't believe is the first Hip Hop tune on this blog.
