Song: Ghetto Love
Year: 1992
Album: School Of Hard Knocks
This is an overlooked classic from the Hip Hop golden era. Definitely worth a listen.
Artist: Pete Rock
Song: Just A Word Or Two
Year: 2009
Album: Not Officially Released
I have no clue where this track comes from, but it's a great example of a Pete Rock solo joint with no guest appearances. Maybe it was limited release vinyl, but in 2009 it is possibly a digital-only release. It's not on any single or album that I know of.
Artist: Dr. Dre
Song: The Car Bomb
Year: 1999
Album: (The Chronic) 2001
Dr. Dre even puts great music in his skits, like another of his skits I posted.
Artist: Sun
Song: Time Is Passing
Year: 1977
Album: Sun-Power
Some of my earliest digging was Sun because the records were only a few dollars. The samples are much slower in the original song.
The Hard Knocks intro and chorus are the 2-bar loop that begins at 0:42. The verse sample is the 2-bar loop from 0:34.
Pete Rock's 1-beat loop at the beginning is from 0:57. The verse is the 2-bar loop from 0:34. The chorus introduces vocals that sing "Just to hear from you a word or two, just to drop a line to say you're mine" from 1:46. Also, during the chorus you can hear the 2-bar loop from 0:50 played twice and then the four-bar sample from 0:42.
Dr. Dre used the same samples as Hard Knocks, the 2-bar loop from 0:42 and then the 2-bar loop from 0:34.
