Song: Hip Hop Ride (Mellow Mix)
Year: 1994
Album: Hip Hop Ride / No Mercy 12-inch Single
I wonder if Da Youngsta's still use this group name as they approach middle age. I believe this is another Marley Marl hit.
Artist: Extra Pro
Song: That's A Shame
Year: 1998
Album: Master Piece
This is the little known third album from Extra Prolific on cassette. If you're a fan of Snupe, as I am, you will like this album. I always liked Snupe's balance of jazz and pimp sensibilities. This album leans more towards pimp and less towards jazz.
Artist: Ronnie Laws
Song: Grace
Year: 1978
Album: Flame
When I am grocery shopping, this is the type of music I like to hear. Some call it elevator Muzak but I think it is ripe for sampling.
Da Youngsta's used the two-bar loop from 0:01 for their intro and chorus, while employing the two-bar loop from 0:13 for the verses.
Extra Pro used the two-bar loop from 1:23 for the whole song. For the chorus, horns were added to the mix. The chorus uses 5 one-bar loops from 2:22 and then a three-bar sample from 2:25.
