Redman - Can't Wait (1994) sampled Bob James - Caribbean Nights (1978)

Artist:  Redman
Song:  Can't Wait
Year:  1994
Album:  Dare Iz A Darkside



This album was so spectacular that this was the "commercial" song, an indication that the whole package was solid underground music not meant for the general population.  I remember reading an interview with Biggie Smalls back in this era and he said that he considered Redman to be his main competition.  Now that is a compliment.




Artist:  Bob James
Song:  Caribbean Nights
Year:  1978
Album:  Touchdown



Football and Caribbean, two of my favourite things.  Bob James had albums called One, Two, Three, BJ4, Heads (a nickel on the cover for Five) and then this album; a Touchdown is worth Six points.

The two-bar loop begins at 0:17.
