Slick Rick - It's A Boy (Remix) (1991) sampled Cal Tjader - Lady Madonna (1969)

Artist:  Slick Rick
Song:  It's A Boy (Remix)
Year:  1991
Album:  It's A Boy 12-inch Single



I dedicate this Large Professor remix to my baby boy.




Artist:  Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth
Song:  They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) (Vibes Mix)
Year:  1992
Album:  Not Officially Released



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
Song:  Lady Madonna
Year:  1969
Album:  Cal Tjader Plugs In



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.
