L. The Head Toucha - Too Complex (1997) sampled Don Blackman - Holding You, Loving You (1982)

Artist:  L. The Head Toucha (L. Da Head Toucha)
Song:  Too Complex
Year:  1997
Album:  Too Complex 12-inch Single (also later released on the Destined For Greatness LP)

All I ever knew about L. The Head Toucha was this song.  It was released on his album 6 years later.  Great loop.

Artist:  Slum Village
Song:  Go Ladies
Year:  2000
Album:  Fantastic, Vol. 2

Slum Village also utilized the sample but in a different way.  One thing I always liked about J Dilla was his ability to take a sample that was well-known and do something interesting to it. 5 Ela Remix was a good example of this and so is Go Ladies.  J Dilla was brilliant.

Artist:  Don Blackman
Song:  Holding You, Loving You
Year:  1982
Album:  Don Blackman

I wish there was much more 80's music like this.  L. The Head Toucha used the loop starting at 1:36 directly.  Slum Village used the same loop except all the low end was removed and the bass was played in a similar manner but with fewer notes.  Slum Village also used the sample starting at 0:00 for their intro.

Show and A.G. - Got Ya Back (1995) sampled Herbie Hancock - You'll Know When You Get There (1971)

Artist:  Show and A.G.
Song:  Got Ya Back
Year:  1995
Album:  Goodfellas

Hey, CPW, remember all the Show and AG we used to listen to?  Thanks for being the first to buy this album even though I think it got stolen.  What I remember most about this record is that I was really impressed with their growth after thinking Runaway Slave couldn't be improved upon.  The samples moved away from the uptempo jazzy sound that first made them popular and towards darker moods and heavy drums.  I also remember there was a murder accusation that affected the promotion of the LP.

Artist:  Slum Village
Song:  Fantastic
Year:  1996
Album:  Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1

Slum Village took a different snippet from the same Herbie Hancock song.  It's the same musical phrase but found elsewhere and played differently.  Classic material.  Toronto loves Detroit Hiphop.

Artist:  Herbie Hancock
Song:  You'll Know When You Get There
Year:  1971
Album:  Mwandishi

I'm a big Herbie Hancock fan.  I saw him live at Massey Hall and he put me in a trance.  I used to loop up pieces of this record just to be hypnotized by the ethereal qualities.  The Show and A.G. loop occurs at the 8:57 mark.  J Dilla combined 2 pieces of the song.  The first two notes of the Slum Village loop appears at the 0:57 mark and the rest is at 7:19.
