Song: Another Funky Break (From My Pap's Crate)
Year: 1992
Album: Maestro Zone
I recently had the honour of meeting Maestro Fresh Wes and the guy is a class act. One of the most underrated lyricists, period. Before Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie and others, this guy was at the top of the game.
Artist: Da King & I
Song: This Is How We Do
Year: 1993
Album: Contemporary Jeep Music
Every song on this album could wind up on this blog.
Artist: 3rd Bass
Song: Green Eggs And Swine
Year: 1991
Album: Derelicts Of Dialect
The summer of 1991 was non-stop 3rd Bass in my neighbourhood.
Artist: The Cannonball Adderley Quintet
Song: Hummin'
Year: 1970
Album: Country Preacher - "Live" At Operation Breadbasket
I still like Jazz as my foundation for Hip Hop. Maestro Fresh Wes used the horns at 1:22 for his chorus. Da King & I used the same sample. 3rd Bass used the one-bar loop from 0:03 for their song and added the four bars of horns from 0:11.
