wikithingie says dre's original mix of "my name is" used "i got the", but siffre wouldn't let him keep it because of "lyrics he perceived to be homophobic" .. now i could be wrong but while eminem's lyrics in that song are wildly offensive, isn't that the one song where eminem DOESN'T say "fag"?

2. "my name is" - eminem

beatnuts/jigga/eminem/epmd notwithstanding -

2) gary bartz - celestial blues

xpost you bastard

tracer plz tell me youre familiar w/ the other like dozen songs that sample 'i got the'??? streets is watching, beatnuts forever, countdown, etc etc etc

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

ahem trace answered that question on that other thread surely

― j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:37 (nineteen years ago)

well those are all OLDER blount so i do know some of them to hear em, but sure, point taken

could we make a comp just of songs that sample "i got the" without it getting repetitive? it might need another big edifice to support/oppose it.. i made a comp once that was just "take me to the river" and "my boy lollipop" and even that needed a little more breathing room.. i think i put on grace jones' version of "la vie en rose" and something else

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

what other thread?

3) foxy brown - hot spot

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

4) mike jones - 'my name is' freestyle

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

5. noosha fox - "s-s-single bed"

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

its funny cuz im pretty sure pre-dre the siffre piano break was untouched & everybody samping it ever took snippets or that bass hook from the first 2 minutes or so, its like this ultracatchy loop was just sitting there & no cratedigger would be so gauche as to use it

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

i know tiger ranks - party wit me rocks the em loop but thats a remix or some shit post-99 right??

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

yeah that's from 2000 or 01 i think.

― j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, way too obvious! i love how that break appears in the song, it's like sombody's mixing into it - it's a different key, feels like a difference tempo, the first vamp fades down..

xpost no idea!! who's tiger ranks a dancehall dude?

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

6. tiger ranks - "party wit me"

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

yeah its on 500% dynamite

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

i always loved how it shows up halfway in the song too, i figured the point of this thread initially was to list soul/r&b joints that sound like singing over rap beats mary j/bad boy remix style

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

i said epmd earlier but its actually a def squad song-

6) def squad - countdown

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

hhahaha @ "singing over rap beats" ... you mean er people singing the actual songs that people sampled from??

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

but yes, exactly - to me the ultimate of that would be "you gets no love" by faith evans, and this is the dream mix so! on it goes!

7. faith evans - "you gets no love"

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

there's a new jagged edge album coming out

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:04 (nineteen years ago)

soul/r&b joints that sound like singing over rap beats

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:05 (nineteen years ago)

unless you were rockin the siffre back in 79 & when em dropped you were like 'oh shit! my boy labi!'

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

i've meant to start a thread on this but there's this progression you hear on alot of early early 70s stuff - i know it's in 'thank you for talkin to me africa' and i know it pops up in a funkadelic track and i think it pops up on jack johnson to, shit was damn near everywhere - and that little buried hook (cf. that jackson five sounding hook in 'more more more' that len sampled for another halfway hook) always sounded like a sleeker slimmer model it evolved into.

― j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

yeah yeah.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

i just thought that was funny

blount are you talking about the piano riff in steal my sunshine?

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

thats andrea true connection

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

because you know i will use any excuse to put that song in any mix anywhere.

xpost yeah, i read a story about the making of that record, and the story is better than the record actually

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

― -+-+-+++- (ooo), Saturday, 6 May 2006 22:41 (nineteen years ago)

haha i don't think i know any of those!!

i just realized that my first gut reaction to the piano breakdown in "i got the" is the beatnuts. if anything condenses and defines the whole beatnuts sound it's that breakdown.
