Taking Sides: Ragga Reyes - "El Papichulo" vs Lorna "Papichulo"

Message Bookmarked

Ragga Reyes has the real actual Deee-Lite sample so has the cool-sample grin factor but it's shorter and Lorna's one has crasser noises and sounds dirtier, also the bassline goes quite intriguing places in trying not to be Deee-Lite. WHICH TO PICK? I think Lorna.

wait, Lorna's version hasn't got the actual Deee-Lite sample?!? b-but i thought it did! there's quite a few versions of Lorna's "Papichulo" floating around - my fave is the one that lasts about four and a half minutes, the last minute or so is a rewind, probably done by some DJ - basically it's got this terrific raunchy part where she raps very fast with the bear beat and bass pulse. I haven't found that bit on other versions, so...

in comparison, the Ragga Reyes version sounds slack and puny (admittedly, i've heard it only once or twice)

Well the version I downloaded is 3 minutes, no mention of mixing, and it sounds like the Deee-Lite bit is being replayed slightly different - on the Ragga Reyes it's unmistakably them.
