Samples vs. Originals…Round 2

By T.L. Brown · On August 13, 2013

IT’S ABOUT THAT TIME! Time for another round of Samples vs. Originals! You know the premise…it really needs no introduction. If you’re new to the game, I’m sure you’ll catch on quickly. In the last episode, we reviewed the works of the Notorious B.I.G. and Camp Lo. But now were gonna dig a little deeper.

This week we will BEGIN looking at a few hip-hop classics. [Caveat: Because there is simply not enough room in this entry to cover all that I have to say about this time-period in the history of hip-hop, I guarantee there will be future discussions on this subject. IN PARTICULAR, there will be posts dedicated solely to the legacy of J. Dilla and my favorite group of all time: A Tribe Called Quest–yes, I just did a shout-out!]

Let’s not waste any more time. Buckle up hip-hop heads! Heeeeeeeeeeere we go!

The Sample: Slick Rick’s “Children’s Story”

The Original: Bob James’ “Nautilus”

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0I0AjE4dKQ&w=320&h=240]

(Did you know “Nautilus” was recorded in 1974 and has been sampled at least 13 times?)

The Sample: A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebum”

The Original: Rotary Connection’s “Memory Band”

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEVXHGXWNfo&w=320&h=240]

(Trivia Question: Who was the songstress was a member of Rotary Connection?)

The Sample: Busta Rhymes’ “Whoo-Hah!!”

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7hJ4VzA0Yk&w=320&h=240]

The Original: Galt McDermot’s “Space”

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb-smm9mH-s&feature=related&w=320&h=240]

(I was recently “schooled” on this one. I still have lots to learn. Thanks KDub. )

The Sample: Run DMC’s “Peter Piper”

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo5-74dWGS0&feature=related&w=320&h=240]

The Original: Bob James’ “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” (yes another Bob James classic…do your homework y’all!)

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE0spjl4y2c&w=320&h=240]

 

Ok, I think this should hold you for a while…or at least until the next installment of Samples vs. Originals. I’ve had a lot of fun with these and hope you have too!

Until next time…
