Anyone heard Sole's 'Teepee On A Highway Blues' from 'Selling Live Water'? On this track, he raps atop a mellow, soundtrackey, classical-ish piano piece. Anyone know what it is? I have this feeling that I've heard it before, but I can't place it and it is driving me.... You know the feeling. Help me, please!

I have totally no idea, but every "mellow, soundtracky, classical pianoish, I think I've heard it somewhere" sample I've heard recently, turns out to be from the American Beauty soundtrack ...

i have a hard time believing hip hop groups are sampling the american beauty soundtrack.

as my friend matt always says, "i could be wrong, but i highly doubt it"

ok phil, thanks, i'll check it out on slsk, even though it seems rather slim ...

well its not american beauty, and its not a normal piano either,
could be a rhodes electric piano but sounds more xylophony to me.
er, anyway i dont know what it is either, sounds like it comes from
a very crackly 70s soundtrack lp...s'good though

Also on the Sole album, on one of the tracks there's a sample near the end where some rapper says, "something something something / I'm picking up the pieces." I've been going nuts wondering who it is. Is it Son Doobie? That's the best I can do.
