More Cadet goodness.

John Robinson used the sample at 0:00 for the intro.  The verse combines two bars starting at 0:29 with two bars starting at 0:23.  Sometimes the combination changes to the two bars starting at 0:29 with the two bars starting at 0:34.

All Natural used a similar loop to John Robinson, but most of the time you hear the four-bar loop at 2:15.

Finally, The UMC's used a one-bar loop from 1:22 but added samples from 1:15 and 1:20.

This beat blew my mind the first time I heard it.  9th Wonder knows how to get the most out of a sample.

Raekwon and Ghostface Killah on this sample?  That's all I need to know.

Artist:  Marlena Shaw
Song:  Where Can I Go

I should have figured this sample was on the Cadet label, always a great source of samples.

The A.L.L.I.E.S. used the four-bar loop starting at 0:00.  Freedom Writers used the same loop.

Raekwon put together different combinations of the 1 bar at 0:00 and the 1 bar at 0:03.  Also, the singing comes from 1:51 to 2:02.
