One of many gems from a great Ghostface album.

The Ghostface instrumental first appeared on J Dilla "Donuts", the instrumental album.

Artist:  The Three Degrees

The original song is great because it starts with a story before moving into song.

Ghostface and J Dilla both start with the sample from 1:43 to 2:00.  The loop during the song is made up of chopped pieces from 1:48, 0:05, 0:07, 0:10 and 0:11.

This song received a lot of radio play in Toronto back in 2004.

Artist:  J Dilla (featuring Pharoahe Monch)

February always marks J Dilla's passing, so this song was just on the radio.

Artist:  The Impressions
Song:  We Must Be In Love
Year:  1970
Album:  Check Out Your Mind!

The Tone Mason sample is the easy one.  It's the two-bar loop at 0:04.  The loop is extended by another two bars for the introduction.  The J Dilla song is harder to break down.  The chorus is the two-bar sample at 1:52.  The rest of the song uses chopped pieces.  The easiest one to hear is the one-bar sample at 1:50 which is heard during the verses.
