213 - Lonely Girl (2004) sampled Bohannon - It's Time for Peace (1972)

Artist:  213
Song:  Lonely Girl
Year:  2004
Album:  The Hard Way

I'm posting this to pay respect to the recently fallen Nate Dogg.  He had the golden voice.  R.I.P.  In 1993 and 1994 when I was listening to Snoop Doggy Dogg "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)", this 213 album was what I wanted.  Better late than never, it's a must-have for G-Funk aficionados.

Artist:  Bohannon
Song:  It's Time for Peace
Year:  1972
Album:  Stop & Go

Ultramagnetic MC's Kool Keith said in "Checkin My Style" that "I don't NEED Bohannon".  I figured it to be a compliment and then discovered Hamilton Bohannon's catalog.  All the samples occur during the first 8 seconds.  The 213 intro pieces together the samples at the 0:02, 0:04 and 0:06 marks.  The rest of the song uses the first eight seconds for bars 1-3 and repeats the section from 0:06-0:08 for bar 4.  Of course, 213 added the essential G-Funk elements to the production.

Black Moon - Enta Da Stage (1993) sampled Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda (1970)

Artist:  Black Moon
Song:  Enta Da Stage
Year:  1993
Album:  Enta Da Stage

My friend JOS and I would drive home from the gym and play this song in the car way back in 1994.  We figured it was all Cannonball Adderley samples because the album listed the credit to him for a song called "Eye of the Cosmos".  My friend even heard the song on the local jazz station.  Years later when I bought Cannonball Adderley's Black Messiah LP, I was disappointed to learn the sample was just his talking.  Finally I discovered the jazz that birthed one of Black Moon's greatest songs.

Artist:  Alice Coltrane
Song:  Journey In Satchidananda
Year:  1970
Album:  Journey In Satchidananda

The tambura (tamboura?) provides an Eastern drone over the bass, a great combination.  The sample occurs at 0:08 or 0:15, I can't figure out which one because they sound so similar when filtered.  Black Moon sped it up and filtered it well.  I also want to mention that this Alice Coltrane album contains the sample used for the introduction of a good Toronto radio show called Stylistik Endeavors.
