Song: Up Against the Wall (Low Budget Mix)
Year: 1995
Album: Livin' Proof
I don't think anybody likes Group Home as much as I do. From this album to "East NY Theory" and "Express", they had a great early run. Many are critical of their lyrics but I enjoy the overall sonic experience. If anyone knows who was sampled for the chorus "Such a pity, but living in the city is like living in the times of Frank Nitti", please let me know in the comments.
Artist: Isaac Hayes
Song: Windows of the World
Year: 1973
Album: Live at the Sahara Tahoe
This record has a great cover because you can open the doors to reveal a picture of Isaac Hayes performing. This guy was an icon and it seemed crazy when he and Bernie Mac passed away in the same weekend. The sample occurs at 1:30.
I looked it up, the chorus lyrics "Such a pity, but living in the city is like living in the times of Frank Nitti" is from Brother Arthur - "The Year Of The 9".
