Song: Metal Thangz (Remix)
Year: 1997
Album: Tru Criminal Records EP
More Street Smartz! This blog is becoming a shrine to F.T. I still recite parts of these verses while walking down the street 14 years later. These are classic lyrics that still hold up today. F.T. kills it.
Artist: Rob-O
Song: World Premier
Year: 2006
Album: Rhyme Pro
I believe Rob-O created this song well before 2006, but I heard it first on this album. Rhyme Pro is a compilation of some of Rob-O's older material which I recognize from the late 1990's. Some good Pete Rock production appears elsewhere on this album.
Artist: Deniece Williams
Song: I Believe In Miracles
Year: 1982
Album: Niecy
There is quite a gap between the lyrics of Deniece Williams and those of F.T. The Street Smartz sample is a two-bar loop starting at 0:08. Occasionally, the two-bar loop at 0:17 can be heard. Rob-O used four-bar loops in his song. The verse loops start with two bars from 0:08, then one bar from 0:05 repeats twice. The chorus loop starts with two bars from 0:17 and is followed by a mix of two samples: the one bar from 0:05 and the one bar from 0:22 repeat twice.
