ISAAC HAYES LOOK OF LOVE

[tiaram38]

Ashanti Brought me here.!!! :D

[xute3]

This is sampled for Violadores del Verso - La ciudad nunca duerme.

[justblazed01]

This is sampled for Jay - Z's song Can I Live I think.

[Trolleymoose]

None of my friends liked this music. I don't understand. Oh well, their loss...my gain.

[pawsnout]

Wore this album (yes, album) out in high school, sitting in my basement playing it on my stereo. Whoa, the 70s.

[pawsnout]

In reply to quasimoto, it's been my experience that there are no bad versions of Look of Love, it's that good of a song.

[2Oaoj]

R.I.P. Moses... I still remember playing this album as a youngster...

[mercadojglb]

pusha t killed this shit

[quasimoto270]

god damn this brother is so smooth

[quasimoto270]

isaac hayes got that smooth velvety voice

[quasimoto270]

i can't decide whether i love isaac hayes or dusty springfield version

[quasimoto270]

what do you bring to the table

[dpavobubi]

Bring's a tear to my Eye's to think people us-to take songs from anther artist and Do The Song There Own Way!!!!!! NOW THAT IS PROPER REMIX...... All these new-age Cunt's that don't have imagination or SOLE to do it there own way they just make at house garage or tecko mix and public Fucken buys that "FUCKEN ROBOT'S".....

[TheKenards]

sooo did anyone notice that ashanti sold this beat for her song rain on me??

[musicjunkie5861]

@TheKenards You must be too young to have noticed: This beat is older than Ashanti!

[Yolireals1]

Issac got dis off

[chobalobe1]

Can I live?

[Delta0prative]

Great music to smoke to

[ROC4Life96]

Can I Live?!

[mosiyb]

i like that elkingtr! wish i had a caddy for this smooth gangsta shit! R.I.P. Isaac

[guerrillasoul]

It's kind of sad that there are more comments about "who sampled what, for which song", than there are about Mr. Hayes or his musical legacy. I guess that vague, or passing interest is better than no interest at all.

Peace

[AwillzProductions]

@guerrillasoul To hell with that! In my opinion, nothing beats the original. Especially in this case. Yes, I love the hip-hop that was made from this, but this is a masterpiece! Isaac was perhaps the smoothest in his era.

[sfknns]

wow this version doesn't even have the part that smif n wessun, LL, & the lost boyz sampled LoL!

[quasimoto270]

i'ma hit you up wit a pound g's up hoes down

[miguel6d2]

just a little flava

[butch824]

tape Splice at 1:49-1:51

[butch824]

SUch A great song .. no one beats isaac hayes

[jinzorob1]

So this nigga made the original song that was sampled for the classic Jay track Can I Live, and played Chef on South Park. That's what I call a true OG right there.

[miamimilk]

@jinzorob1 also a movie star and highly respected in the music industry. is and always will be a Legend.

[jinzorob1]

Can I LIve? classic jay shit

[achernandez415]

fuck jay z and biggie! cant nobody top some isaac hayes nigga

[2010cutta]

jayz killed this sample the best nxt is juicy j and project pat

[ahmad312]

@2010cutta Fuck Jay Z. Juicy J and Project Pat lol. Everyone is forgetting Snoop Dogg. Gz Up Hoes Down. He did this song the most justice. In fact, Snoop is the only one as big of a G as Isaac Hayes.

[sfknns]

@ahmad312 LoL thats your opinion jigga, smif n wessun, the lost boyz, & LL all did the beat more justice than snoop or anyone else. & Jay-s is bigger than snoop.

[vinitorey]

La ciudad nunca duerme!

[MCCINable]

yall forgettin about biggie warning! @classic

[olly123o]

[mochacougar]

Written by Burt, sung by Dusty, sung by Nina, sung by the Delfonics, sung by Isaac and others. Point is, it is a song worth repeating and hearing again, regardless of the artist. Just enjoy the damn song... ;-)

[martymcfly4118]

groovey

[missjreneed]

people stop all the fussing! all this talk about originals is ridiculous.... bc anybody who knows the history of music then should know the history of hip hop.....

THAT'S HOW HIP HOP STARTED! by spinning and sampling old and current records of that time, and rapping over them. DUHHHHHHHHHHHHH

IT'S ONLY TRADITION AT THIS POINT! so get off it!

originals get respect. samples done well get respect for paying homage. can't we all just get along. it's all beautiful music. DAMN!

[rennyjc]

@missjreneed Thank you. I had to thumbs up honey.

[ST8OFEMS2]

@missjreneed AMEN!!

[bigvinamac]

@missjreneed thank you. people complain too much on youtube. just shut up and enjoy the music.

[MakeABanana]

@missjreneed Precisely. A lot of sampled artists saw their sales and their popularity rise thanks to hip-hop.

[BayouBoy1622]

@missjreneed SAy u put up a good argment"or whatever but tha thing we call"i can`t spell so,but tha best from of being a like is to be a like fell me?

[theOldskoolPy]

@missjreneed wouldnt have said it any other way ma :)

[jgudlek]

@missjreneed You are completly right! Jay-Z just made classic of this sample! Nobody else can't do it better than Jay-Z on this sample! Ashanti done great job also! respect

[bigvinamac]

@missjreneed thank you for saying that. hip hop have always been sampled. hip hop deserves respect and it's here to stay.

[xxx6920032003]

WOW THE INSTRUMENTS IN THIS SONG AMAZING

[thedoggydayspa]

Amazing!

[LazyNDaCrazyDayz]

He played Chef on South Park.

[bumpynuks]

It was Burt Bacharach not Isaac Hayes who wrote this.

[miamimilk]

A LEGEND

[KILLBETTV]

FUCK WHO SAMPLE....ISAAC MADE IT ....PERIOD POINT BLANK...IF NEW PRODUCERS KNEW HOW TO MAKE MUSIK THEY WOULDNT HAVE TO SNATCH SAMPLES....THATS THAT LAZY SHIT...

[bumpynuks]

@KILLBETTV Technically, it was Burt Bacharach. The same man who wrote Walk on by. But Isaac turned it out.

[maybachdaddy]

@KILLBETTV well me.... i like when people sample because i wnna see what yesterdays music sounds like today....and the shits dope when they murder the beat like jay.....

[maybachdaddy]

@KILLBETTV well me.... i like when people sample because i wnna see what yesterdays music sounds like today....and the shits dope when they murder the beat like jay..... not completely laziness CREATIVITY.....

[mizzmoda]

yeah and it was used for Ashanti - Rain on me

[my4atms123]

Wow! This really, really, takes me back to the good old Oakwood College days spent in Peterson Hall! Holla @ your girl if you can relate to the love!

[LMMidwestKid]

Irv Gotti flipped this for Jay-Z on Can I Live.

[KogetsuZan]

G'z up hoe's down.

[CitySkin09]

You can't help but feel like a genuine mack when you fuck to this song...

[JCY006]

@CitySkin09 I agree, now all I need is a 62 Lincoln Continental

[CitySkin09]

@JCY006 -- a ragtop with suicide doors??

[JCY006]

@CitySkin09 Hardtop with the suicide doors, with 30% tinted windows.

[CitySkin09]

@JCY006 -- Niiiiiice...

[74brooklynboi]

@CitySkin09 No doubt but you gotta last more than 2 rounds at least. Heehee

[CitySkin09]

@74brooklynboi -- Yep, the original is a very long song...

[74brooklynboi]

@CitySkin09 I was replying when you mentioned feeling like a mack while fucking to this song and most of Issac's songs are long

[prymetymeantonius]

One of the greatest of all time........

[cackagill]

Westside Chicago 1973.

[blackonblackseven]

CAN I LIVE????? YEAH JAY Z RIPPED THIS SHIT

[01zack]

@blackonblackseven NOT Jay-z he was not the producer of the track! If I remember was K-Rob or Premo

[TheFreshPeddler]

@01zack - he didnt say jay produced the track. im pretty sure he knows jay z is not a producer. and no it was irv gotti who "produced" that track.

[Ashween070]

respect for this song

you gave me that feeling isaac !!!!

[trojanluck88]

Let's stick to the script here, if you can't go back to '73, its hard for you to fill the full monty of this song, so greatly composed, and arranged like only "Ike" could do it. This was my childhood, and these type songs will always move me in a very deep place! R.I.P. Sis 1963-2007........

[IGetAround29]

Classic. Words aren't even necessary to this. Let it take you to a deep thought.

[jdavis02136]

Black Moses Was cold blooded!!!! Rest in peace my brother.

[itsbeenofficial]

@alwerty1....i meant snoop used it the best out of all that sampled it.....of course the original is the HIT after the letter S

[weewee112211]

This has one of the best intros I have ever heard in my life. 

[dorianisthewriter]

@weewee112211

I'm with you. Used to drive my black Fleetwood in the 90's (the song having been resurrected with the "Dead Presidents" soundtrack) with this bumpin', head bobbin', in the D (Detroit).

[zibinetcom]

[itsbeenofficial]

[keodakilla]
