2970857, Great rap songs with prominent horns
Posted by justin_scott, Thu Aug-11-16 10:41 PM
i've always had a deep love for Pete's T.R.O.Y. of course, and Blackalicious' Make You Feel That Way. I've always loved horns, even started learning how to play the trumpet. What other great rap songs feature horns prominently?
2970859, Method Man - Release Yo Delf
Posted by DJR, Thu Aug-11-16 10:54 PM
Those horns sound so triumphunt.
2970866, definitely, though i think the drums kind of drown them out
Posted by justin_scott, Thu Aug-11-16 11:13 PM
still a great song with great horns
2970934, but the horns are the most crucial part of the beat
Posted by ToeJam, Fri Aug-12-16 05:20 PM
2970935, Theyre definitely great
Posted by justin_scott, Fri Aug-12-16 06:13 PM
And in no way does it ruin the experience of listening for the horns, but I feel like I hear the drums slightly more than the horns. Not that that is a bad thing. And definitely, the addition of the horns makes the song special.

Posted by Manuels Burrito, Fri Aug-12-16 03:37 PM
The horns on Swan Lake are crazy ill.

Anybody know which version of "People Make the World Go Round" it samples?

I asked Gab about it after a show and he said he didn't know, I'd have to ask Xcel. Some sites say it's the O'Donel Levy version or the Ramon Morris version. I'm thinking it's the version off of the Profile "Sands of Time" album (Bernard Purdie's band).
