i'm utterly shocked i have never heard that intro/breakdown sampled on, like, a talib kweli song. or maybe i just am unaware of its having been sampled.

what are some songs you're shocked have never been sampled?

http://www.usershare.net/72mguncydsv9/41 Track 41.mp3

the youtube comments imply that Madlib has sampled it, but i haven't heard his.

>http://www.usershare.net/72mguncydsv9/41 Track 41.mp3

Not bad. Just needs a switch up. That's what I was waiting for when I listening to it; another part to come in. Can get a bit monotonous. Unless your using it for a short interlude at the end of song.

thanks. i agree that it's monotonous...it's unfinished from about 4 years ago. never went back to it.

i'll check it in a sec...

specifically the break from :58 to 1:19 in this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwILIXIC3EU


My favorite version of this standard!

but the percussion & bass only part seems a more likely sample

and was disappointed with the result. i think it sounded too "live" for my tastes back then. i also wasn't good at filtering samples to get the right feeling yet. that "i'll never go back to georgia" bass line is crazy and if i was to revisit it, i would just replay it.

Had the bassline open....I think it was still the O'farril orchestra too but it's been a long time:

A lot of the 80's stuff I sample.

The 80's are so untapped it's unreal.

>The 80's are so untapped it's unreal.

which is why I loved Freeway/Jake One's THE BEAT MADE ME DO IT and Madlib's REMIXES 2: SATURDAY MORNING EDITION.

they really got me up on my game.
I'm still trying to figure out W-T-F the base of "The Beat Made Me Do It" and "Old To The New" are. Most of the rest I have figured out.

Such a lovely beat.

Also Come Into My Garden is my favourite MR album. Every song on there is brilliant.

good looks on the link mayne

i haven't listened to the Minnie joint in so long, lol.

these guys were kind of a poor man's The Band, but they've got some good jams.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BlKN4lleAk

The bit where the claps come (2:13) in would make a nice countryfied loop, but the real monster break starts just after 4:20 and contains a bunch of loopables... even after the band comes back in there's some great stuff - that recurring guitar riff that first shows up from 4:55 - 5:07? Could be gold for someone.

And turning me onto some good music!

A few part of this song can be sampled. Specifically 0:40 - 0:52.

Maybe because it's a hard to find album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlH3HdZO6Fc

imho the drums are perfect, and while there are no open breaks there are some sections I could hear as making a great beat... :37 - :41, for example.

that joint is in ALL the bins. i avoided it for so many years due to that cover alone. LOL. it's got some HEAT on it, but i don't need fam coming after me, lol...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bGFz7nBj78

I looped up that breakdown on my 303 a loooooooong time ago, but I ultimately just deleted it because it was TOO MUCH of a jack move. Some beautiful music should just be left alone, especially on a record as common as that Smokey LP.

I'll be damned if that isn't some of the best soul instrumentation I've ever heard though.

Surely 9th Wonder gave this one a shot at one point, right?

i've never seen that record cover before in my LIFE, fam. lol.

nice song though! u should link up your loop...

That's crazy though, it's a great album. Speaking of Tamla/Motown shit that never turns up, do you have a copy of that Eddie Kendricks - My People..Hold On? I had no idea that it was so hard to find in the field. Grabbed mine for $5 a few years ago but I've only seen one copy since then ($30).

Oh and disco dj better have been lying when he said that the Don Blackman LP is "everywhere" in Chicago. SMH I'll send him $50 hand-delivered by a goddess on a unicorn if he can ship me an OG copy*

* that goes for anyone else on these boards as well

>That's crazy though, it's a great album.

i'm generally not a fan of Smoke, but i own a gang of his albums. *shrugs*

yeah, that's relatively easy to find. i'm pretty sure i got it for a dollar.

lol. i see that one every now and then.

>* that goes for anyone else on these boards as well

that smokey shits been sampled. its on some scratch break record i have. the name escapes me right now tho. i wanna say doo doo breaks? i remember because theres a coiler on the cover.

when i was digging it would need to have a key change in order to catch my ear. because its just one note, i'd be more likely to just grab a crisp stab and play different notes to make a melody out of it. by then it could be from anywhere and would lose the character of the sample source. probably end up sounding like a generic primo beat.

2:19 is ripe.

again, no open breaks, and again, lots of loopable segments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKDiCI0Jj3A

But those drums are awesome, and the intro section where he's singing over just the drums - if someone could get the vocals off them, it's be fire.

This track is of course from the same (outstanding) album as Get Thy Bearings, somewhat famously sampled by the Biz.

granted, a lot of it could have been sampled and I'd never knot it, but:

Trudi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RUf0CLTRVs

Barabajagal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvl9fE_4qxA

Season of the Witch, of course

and if you can find the live version of the Fat Angel... (inbox me if you can't)

on "101 Things To Do While I'm With Your Girl":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFLjC-Zb_tg

the amazing thing about this one is that the incredible drums make the section from :08 - :30 sound very much like a hip hop production, even though it's from 1968.

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

I wouldn't surprised if he sampled it for an unreleased beat.

Also I think Kno might of done something with that song.

esp. the Fairport stuff ca. 1970

his biggest open break is probably the intro to the title track from Angel Delight... UMB seems to be blocking postings of the studio version, but there's a live version (imho, not as good as the studio break) up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9cnk9Er3EI

but he's got great drums all over the Full House album as well.

My fave so far. Nice and clean.

I'm pretty sure the vocals (Huh! Hah!) have been sampled at some point, maybe even on the Kodo remix joint that Laswell helmed in the late 1990s. And the vocals (at the end esp.) present a lot of possibilities, as do most of the rest of the patterns they use throughout this piece.

But for me the piece that would sound awesome layered in somewhere, maybe a more electronica or ambient type of piece, is the jegog (bamboo gamelan) interlude, 2:09 - 2:37.

Yes...when me and my boys used to pretend that we'd be dope rappers (good thing I'm old enough to where anybody couldn't make a song when I was in high school), I had a whole (wack) song written to this called 'louging'. I had one of those long-winded 'Queens' hooks too. If only I could find that tablet from like 94. I coulda had ya'll rollin. Now, I'd have a song to this about a chick I like and I'd call it 'magic' and straight lift the hook. Good thing I don't have free time.

lonesome_d my hats off to you.
you've got good ears.

that pentangles opening drum is a beast on liquid crack.
rappers love rapping over that type of loop.

i would loop the drums for three bars and let the music leak into the fourth and then...
fock!

i miss making sample-based beats.

>that pentangles opening drum is a beast on liquid crack.

I've posted it in the Lesson several times. This live version is sharper than the studio version, but the studio's not shabby either... I think being 'the folk guy' on here prevents some of my posts of more general OKP interest from reaching a wider audience, but *shrug*

Interesting... you don't do it at all any more?

but I can't think of one rap song that's ever sampled it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BPjO0MKU6U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj2USnAvdUk&feature=watch_response_rev

*jots down sample sources to use*

i mean...Hip hop claims to be this nation of crate diggers and it just AMAZES me that in all of hip hop history...NO ONE has taken to the time to deconstruct this monster jam from some dude named Bob James. I hear he has a lot of albums...maybe I should inbox ?uest or something.

D

"...and pardon if it sounds a lil wheezy,
it's not Wayne mothafers, got asthma, it's not easy"

LOL! This is a joke, right?! Bob James is so frakkin cool. I love his work with Foreplay and some of his solo work.

His remake of Angela (the Taxi theme song for those not in the know) was so frakkin smooth.

If you don't know who he is seriously check him out.

I've never heard it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se7459-cCxE

and when I say 'old' I mean it... the recordings were made in 1942.

The track doesn't seem to be anywhere on Youtube or others, but you can get the gist from the album's Amazon page by checking the preview of Track 3:

http://www.amazon.com/Deep-River-Song-Appalachia-Songsters/dp/B00000I5K9

The whole track is only :58, but in that minute Theophilus Stokes pulls out an enormous range of astoundingly funky sounds and rhythms that I can only imagine would be a sample mine to the right ears.

I think when I posted it up stankpalmer (or maybe someone else) chopped it up, but opted out of using the most obvious 'beat' - the 'banging' part of the tune (the dude's using his banjo head as a drum somehow).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3vQiGWeRAs

Not quite suitable for a hip hop beat perhaps but still he gets a great drum sound out of it and maybe the shuffle could be used some other way.

drum break and bassline towards the end that sound like easy money

I've sat on this one for decades but just now came to terms with the fact that I'll probably never be famous and have a chance to use it myself so here it is. It may be expensive to get the license because of who the artist is but I could definitely see a huge hit coming out of this. It has a more commercial feel but is damn funky in my opinion. The opening break and also parts of the extended break starting at 3:18 (with the flute sound and later the ominous guitar sound) to 4:15 is a treasure trove of loops.

Possibly somebody has but I haven't heard it. This one of the funkiest albums I have ever heard. To my knowledge this is the only album they released.

Basically the whole first three minutes are a sample mine... but don't miss 5:34 to about 5:55 or so.

Never knew that until the other day.
