Song: Shout (Pete Rock Remix)
Year: 1996
Album: Not officially released
I don't know much about this song's history. What I do know is that I first heard it on a Chubby Chub mixtape from 1996 called "Get Dirty". I'm assuming it is an unreleased song that has been later unofficially released. Nice beat from Pete Rock.
Artist: Onyx
Song: Shout (Album Version)
Year: 1995
Album: All We Got Iz Us
I like when a song and its remix are sampled from the same source. The album version of Shout sounds similar to the remix.
Artist: Ras Kass
Song: Drama
Year: 1996
Album: Soul On Ice
A Coolio appearance on the blog! Ras Kass invites Coolio to rhyme on his classic album and I think that Coolio never sounded better. It goes without saying that Ras Kass is in my Top 10 Emcees of all time.
Artist: Hubert Laws
Song: Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again
Year: 1976
Album: Romeo & Juliet
A member of the Creed Taylor crew, Hubert Laws has been sampled a lot. The Pete Rock Remix of "Shout" uses the sample located at 5:37 and repeats it before letting the rest of the loop play. The album version of "Shout" uses the loop at 5:35, you can hear flute at the beginning, and I think they played the bassline, copying the notes from the sample at 1:47. Finally, the Ras Kass used the loop at 1:38.
The remix as well as original was produced by Fredro Starr and 8-Off Assassin (a.k.a. Agallah)
