Neek The Exotic - Comin' In Piles (Extended Version) (2013) sampled Dorothy Ashby - Drink (1970)

Artist:  Neek The Exotic
Song:  Comin' In Piles (Extended Version featuring B-1 and Mayhem Lauren)
Year:  2013
Album:  Hustle Don't Stop

This was one of my favourite albums from last year because it took me back to the 1992 Hip Hop sound.

Artist:  Ghostface Killah
Song:  Clips
Year:  2008
Album:  The Wallabee Champ

Ghostface Killah has a great ear for music, he always rhymes over the best breaks.

Artist:  Dorothy Ashby
Song:  Drink
Year:  1970
Album:  The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby

I liked this album so much, I went out and bought its inspiration, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.  He was a poet who liked to write about the pleasures of the grape.  He liked his wine.

 

Neek The Exotic used the one-bar loop from 0:02 and repeated it three times and then followed it with the one-bar sample from 0:05.  Ghostface Killah used the same two samples but also threw in the "Yesterday....." sample from 0:13.

Young Zee - Toxic Waste (1996) sampled Gil Scott-Heron And Brian Jackson - Delta Man (Where I'm Comin' From) (1977)

Artist:  Young Zee
Song:  Toxic Waste
Year:  1996
Album:  Musical Meltdown

Part of the appeal of this album is that it has a demo quality to it.  It was never officially released, so it came from a cassette.  This song starts the album off strong and features fellow Outsidaz member Loon One before Young Zee blesses the track with a style nobody has had before or since.  Respect to RGH for getting this to me when there wasn't a digital file, you had to have the cassette.

Artist:  Gil-Scott Heron and Brian Jackson
Song:  Delta Man (Where I'm Comin' From)
Year:  1977
Album:  Bridges

My distant relative supplied Young Zee with a two-bar loop starting at 0:30.
