Sly & the Family Stone - Trip to your heart

[rubix71]

holy crap this guy ripped off LL

[orlanduce]

Sly & The family Stone is soooooooo under rated!!!!!!!

[kwkable11]

The person(s) who don't like this song need to be knocked out by mama!

[jaydowell9]

L.L. Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out, I never knew that this is where he got that sample from until now.

[orlanduce]

@jaydowell9 me too

[emceeslo]

This is one of the funkiest bass lines I've ever heard Larry Graham play!!!

[emceeslo]

AAHHH AAHHH AHHH AAHHH....

AAHHH AAHHH AHHH AAHHH....

[darrouken]

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK!

[boogiewear]

Nice

[nyn78]

I didn't know Sly until 7 years ago, but I didn't realize I already knew them from all the hiphop I listened to, like indeed LL Cool J and Public Enemy. Sly RULES!

[ListenToTheDanielle]

Song Of The Day.

[qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb]

THIS SHIT HOT .

TO EVERYBODY BITCHING ABOUT TODAYS MUSIC ON THE COMMENTS.

IF YOU WANT MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE THEN GO LISTEN TO IT. THE INTERNET HAS EVRYTHING ON IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIND IT. MAINSTREAM MEDIA ISN'T GOING TO GIVE IT TO YOU. SO STOP RANTING ABOUT HOW MUSIC IS CORNY AND MEANINGLESS NOW-A-DAYS. DEAL WITH IT.

PEOPLE STILL MAKE GOOD MUSIC WITH SUBSTANCE IN EVERY GENRE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT SUPPORTED BY THE MAINSTREAM. SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT.

PEACE

[NinetiesYouth]

@qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb nope, there is no timeless music being created anymore. even the underground stuff sucks.

[rocknrollporn]

@NinetiesYouth shut the fuck up. dope music can always be found. the only thing that makes music timeless is mass appeal. the only way to get mass appeal these days (in america anyways) is to sell your soul. your kinda right but more wrong then anything else.

[LeBigMoneyShow]

The bass is killing this shit.

[twentynothing]

crazy album cover

[edandcece]

THIS SONG IS THE BOMB...PSYCHEDELIA MEETS FUNK FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME...IT GETS NO BETTER THAN THIS !!!

[rwrite1]

life would be complete if i could find this on wax.number 1 on my list whenever i dig...

[Beatalian]

C'mon man

And with the local DBT news, LL Cool J with a triumphant comeback

(mumbling)

but tonight

[mattratt512]

mama said knock you out.

[allout1034]

wow....been a while since i heard this!!...goood post!!

[felixicon]

Don't call it a comeback...

[troysson81]

I'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!

[Movielunatic]

Very very good :)

[TarpaperShackSongs]

Very psychedelic!

[brotherbuttcrack]

yea man. I used to hate on sampling. But all those songs introduced me to even greater music

[Drewmachine]

absolute truth. =)

[bigdog0800]

truwe. sampling is just a way of showing what inspired you and what moves you. Its not like stealing the way many artists of the 50s early 60s were just raped and had there music pawned off to an audience that had no clue where the music originated

[unclegusyo]

even equaler music

[earthsaylove]

YES THEY DO!!!!

[Bizarronumber4]

Sly & the Family Stone were,alongside James Brown,the pioneers of funk. This is

a great song.

[JJDvorshak]

Awsome song,

my favourite of theirs.

More than 5 stars for this song!

[graysight]

this sounds like a primitive grunge , anyone who knwos nirvana and alice in chains would agree that this sounds a lot like some of them songs heard this ...

[DrewsBluez]

i have a little question, what genre would this song be defined as??

[karoloandria]

psychodelic soul

[bigdog0800]

this is phunk soul jazz and whatever else you could think of all in one. Sly was a master of many genres

[909kong]

This is ill...who writes a song based on diminished chords/scales (outside of Jazz, know-it-alls)???

[hollidayevery]

@909kong A musical geniuses like Sly Stone and George Clinton, to name two...So glad you noticed

[TRlPZ]

It's completely ridiculous to say sample(rs) have no imagination. Like bhuj89 said, they're bringing it to a younger audience that otherwise would probably never hear any of this music.

And besides, like 50% of rap beats are sampled

[kwkable11]

More like 85% of rap beats are sampled. Other genres are heavily sampling also, from jazz to rock to reggae.

[bhuj89]

i wouldnt call sampling disrespectful - in the opposite, they open the ears of the younger generation for the originals. It depends on the attitude which today's listeners have. If they ignore the roots of hip hop they suck - but if they wanna know about the culture, they cant avoid the beauty of music. That's hip hop history - knowledge

[sugarraymarchione]

y'all cock sucker !!!fuck the sample !!you dont respect the real music

[tomthefunky]

Agreed. Sampling is made by chumps for chumps. These fucks have no imagination. They think they can fool people. Thet's all there is to it.

[beatmakersuniversity]

No imagination you ever heard pete rock? and besides that Sample has kept sly stone happy and rich and he encourages people sample his stuff.

[bigdog0800]

samples covers remakes they all enhance and build upon what others have originated its all about freedom ofexpression and showing what inspires you. Things get remade or recycled too much nowadays but the act of sampling is not in it self a bad thing.

[phoenixdawn34]

I think Sly wants more people to sample his music, they have the best sound for a sample. Plus you get paid and people get to find out what the sample is from sometimes.

[bigdog0800]

Sly loves the love. He said he wants people to have him do it himself rather than them sample him. He said so in a recent interview. His song sing a simple song is the second most sampled of all tiem and overall they are 4th of all time.

[beatmakersuniversity]

They all want that it keeps them rich just like roy ayers wants people to sample his work.

[XMEWYMEWZ]

i dont know why some of you people think the younger generation know nothing about this kind of music. i grew up listening to sly and listening to al green and marvin gaye. so don't think all of the young generation don't know anything about funk and soul.

[mikeygeneral]

uh uh uh uh !

[Baparacha]

dont trip on the youngsters they know nothing

[MaSt3rStEeL]

all u guys r retarded except housebanks

look up the date on this and look at the date on momma said knock you out

all of thier albums were released before momma said knock you out was even thought of

[blackpuzo07]

i'm a breakbeat collector so i already knew all about this, i do feel sorry for those of you that don't know about sly stone or in general wheree a lot of breakbeats come from, i love soul music and i can remember a lot of songs without having to be reminded where it came from, those of you that don't really need to look and study where soul music and funk came from, it's more than just oversampled songs and bits and pices, IE funkadelic/parliment, etc. know your music before saying what you thi

[dubscarab]

Don't call it a comeback.

[blackpuzo07]

marley marl sampled it for LL

[housebanks22]

komjong,u gotta be joking right?please tell me that youre joking.lol.its the other way around dude...SLY is the one who originated this and LL sampled it from HIM.

[Rehkt]

LL didnt sample it, a backroom guy did and LL just laid down some shitty lyrics in a 20 min studio session, which the same backroom producer probably spent 2 weeks getting to sound like the version you know. But what happened too all the funky diggers that frequented the music scene of the late 60's and 70's that produced the music that is used in nearly all memorable recent dance and hip hop. Bring back funky diggin' afro niggers,LSD ,angel dust dig?

[kwkable11]

Afro niggers? Who the fuck are you, fucking peckerwood!

[universalradio]

So many people don't even know Sly exists, and when they do hear his music, they think he copied Prince and M.Jackson, and Stevie Wonder instead of THE OTHER WAY AROUND!! Unbelievable how they could be so ignorant of music history.

Check out CKUAFM - Ragtime to Rolling Stones.

[beatmakersuniversity]

Who the hell has never heard of sly and the family stone? they are one of the biggest acts ever.mot kids even know who they are

[universalradio]

A lot of kids have absolutely no idea. Mind you - I live in Calgary, I find radio stations in the US are better, and Sly is more appreciated - except he's never even mentioned on Alice Cooper's station - radio show. Even on this weekend, Woodstock weekend. Write to him on his website and protest.

[dash246biz]

Mama said knock you out! LL Cool J

[phoenixdawn34]

I was at the Sly & family stone concert last nite. Sly performed well for 15 minutes then left :(

[MackTheKnife12]

Damn! Sly Stone is a crazy genius

[yosser03]

LL is cool, Sly is cool, it's just a big treat for everyone. Bloah. how you like me now

[tislamic7]

wow. wasnt up on this song

[brkbtlvr]

one of the funkiest drummers around. black or white

[olskul2danumlnem]

FYI this track came out in 1967

[theInfamous3]

Dude, LL 'stole' it from this track..

[Vietpr3]

No man, stealing is taking the whole track, he just sampling on it.

[theInfamous3]

Lol yeah right, that's what I meant.. my bad.

[loveandhoney]

yeah just the catchy parts, how can you even call music your own when some one elses work makes the song

[SkateSka]

Hah what an idiot

[davechappelle22]

haha good one komjong

[dominoize]

komjong in a temporal retard

[KenPatera78]

Great post my dude!!!

[ilcchef2]

Opps...just looked it up '67.

[rebmem88]

67 sounds right

[ilcchef2]

Imagine that! Sly Stone was writting beats for LL Cool J back in 1965!!!

[rebmem88]

More like 1969.

[ilcchef2]

This song was on the first album, "A Whole New Thing" which preceeded the album "Life" which came out in 1966.

[10cretion]

véry good!

[joni2691]

When I hear this beat it reminds me of-"Momma's gonna knock you out!!!"-LL COOL J

[blakevickrey]

because it is

[MUN7001]

check out Into My Own thing by this band, its the starting of Fatboy's Slims Weapon of Choice, cray eh?, damn copycaters.

[matthewpork]

it's called sampling and the songs respective owner's always have to give permission.

[Mistuhbig]

Example of Sly's influence on hip-hop, about as much as James Brown.

[wreckords]

This sounds like something you would play on Halloween or during the scenes to a horror movie like Nightmare on elm street or something. Funky as hell nonetheless!!!

[AspenG]

Nice find! Mama said knock you out!

[Questbx1]

ijust dont remmemmber the original thanx hiller opening my eyes

[99rpm]

alright!

'trip to your heart' fits nicely on top of james brown's famous 'funky drummer' groove in this fat classic hiphop track!

(but what's up with the 80's bit at the end of the song, in this video?)

[incrediblecHiller]

I have no idea. I was to lazy to rip, so i downloaded some mp3 for the video...

[99rpm]

hehe, alright :P

[joni2691]

Song's madcool,thanx! Long-Live-Sly!

[grijsje]

@99rpm

Keep "Funky Drummer" as it is for it is classic, the long version especially. The groove in in "Funky Drummer" is different and depending on which version you have can be very jazzy.

[Jeu1974]

wonderful song!!!!

[zerotonine007]

thanx for the upload man ;)

[gregano4444]

Funky ... XD ...
