92. "JUST LAST WEEK - PETE ROCK - IT'S ON YOU" In response to In response to 0 Fri Mar-10-17 01:39 PM by maro
some post on okp got me re-listening to the Main Ingredient (I listen a few times every year, actually). on the track "It's on you" pete samples a few lines from EPMD and loops it through-out. Specifically a few of Erick's lines from Strictly Business.
The 'Loop' as it appears on " It's On You" :
They smile in my face, behind my back they talk trash Mad and stuff, because they don't have cash When I roll I stroll, cool always pack a tool Just in case, a brother acts a fool
However. these lines are not all connected in the original EPMD song. Pete joined them to feel like they were always originally together.
I know Premo does this often as well. But what I love is that after 20 years of listening to this album, a new nuanced discovery gets uncovered.
