Song: Driver's Seat
Year: 1997
Album: The War Report
C.N.N. Network, Channel 10. What! What! This is my favourite song from Capone -N- Noreaga, it triggered me to buy the album the next day. It has always seemed odd to me that Busta Rhymes jumps on the song at the end to bark. It would have been nice to have a verse from Busta. On a side note, I think that Akinyele makes a brief appearance in this song's video.
Artist: Willie Hutch
Song: Do The Thing That's Best For You
Year: 1974
Album: The Mark Of The Beast
I listened to this song many times and didn't make the connection to Capone -N- Noreaga. One day, I listened to the song and finally heard it. Funny how the brain works. This Willie Hutch album isn't as good as "Foxy Brown" or "The Mack", but it's the next best thing. The samples used by Capone -N- Noreaga break down like this: In the intro to the song, the sample is just a vocal and piano sample from the 0:20 mark played repeatedly. The main sample is a bass and vocal sample for 2 bars. The first bar (plus a little bit into the second bar) is at 0:19. The remainder of the second bar is made up of the sample at 0:21 played twice.
Nashiem Myrick and Carlos Broady had keen ears and chopped that Willie Hutch better than Benihana dicin' shrimp! LOL
