D-Nice - No, No, No (1991) sampled Shades Of Brown - Girl I'm Coming Home (1970)

Artist:  D-Nice
Song:  No, No, No
Year:  1991
Album:  To Tha Rescue

The TR-808, straight from the Bronx.  I love 1991 Hip Hop because of the Golden Era production quality and the lyrical consciousness, displayed here by D-Nice.  The sample revealed below is in the intro and chorus.

Artist:  Shades Of Brown
Song:  Girl I'm Coming Home
Year:  1970
Album:  S.O.B.

There is a well-known drum break on this album, a song called "The Soil I Tilled For You" (used most memorably by A Tribe Called Quest on "Excursions").  The sample from D-Nice is a 2-bar loop starting at 1:02.

I dedicate this Large Professor remix to my baby boy.

This track is not on the Mecca And The Soul Brother LP or the They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) 12-inch Single.  It originally came out on white-label vinyl and has since been rereleased on various Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth "Rare Tracks" or "Unreleased Joints".  It is also on the Deluxe Edition of the Mecca And The Soul Brother LP.

Artist:  Cal Tjader

Cal Tjader plays a nice vibraphone.  The Slick Rick sample is a 2-bar loop starting at 2:28.  The bassline is heard throughout the Slick Rick song.  In the chorus, the vibes come through but some of them were removed.  The Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth sample is a 2-bar loop from 0:10.
