Song: Slave
Year: 1993
Album: Enta Da Stage
Black Moon's album wasn't a classic because the samples were rare. One of the reasons I like it is because they took well known samples and did interesting things to them. Slave is a great track because the bass was filtered well and then drums from the same source were added. Simple works.
Artist: 3rd Bass
Song: Derelicts of Dialect
Year: 1991
Album: Derelicts of Dialect
The samples were well known to me a few years before Black Moon when 3rd Bass used them for Derelicts of Dialect. This was the first time I heard these samples.
Artist: The 9th Creation
Song: Rule Of Mind
Year: 1975
Album: Falling In Love (Re-released later as Bubble Gum)
The Black Moon track loops the bassline from the 0:05 mark for the whole track, occasionally allowing the high frequencies to be heard during the chorus and some other moments. The drums are those from the 0:00 mark. 3rd Bass made their track interesting by sampling more pieces. They also used the drums from the 0:00 mark but added more drums as well. Pete Nice rhymes over the same loop as Black Moon (0:05 mark) but the loop at 0:03 is occasionally used as well. The chorus takes a sample from the 0:15 mark and even keeps the singing "You rule my mind". It should be noted that there is another sample in Derelicts of Dialect that 3rd Bass sampled from a The 9th Creation song called "Bubble Gum" (it appears at 1:09 of the 3rd Bass song and Artifacts also used it for "Wrong Side Of Da Tracks").
Also sampled by Da Youngsta's for "No Mercy".
