Joe Chambers - Mind Rain (N.Y. State Of Mind sample)

[Diocletian09]

It gives me so much inspiration that roughly 5 seconds from a Jazz record can turn into one of the best bass loops on a hip hop track of all time - because - there is so much jazz out there just imagine the awesome tracks waiting to be created!

[o0R3stless0o]

Rappers are monkey. Flippin' with the funky rhythm I be kickin'.

[ZohaibAhmad41]

@AsamaAssembly Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm I be kickin

Musician, inflictin composition

[TheNotoriousBOA]

It's when you hear the original that you appreciate the Premier's talent. You've got to me a music freak to pick out these hooks, which is why his productions are a cut above anything else and why Illmatic still sounds fresh today.

[AverageCabbage]

@TheNotoriousBOA I just noticed the same thing while going through the sample-songs of black moon and illmatic

You need a mad collection of vinylz and you oughta know every single piece on it.

[GraffitiSlammer]

Beatiful...

[ZackTaylor1992]

nice premier

rest in peace guru

[Fyahbwoy]

goosebumps!

[dvharris75]

The original played by Joe Chambers is just as chilling as the song made by Nas and Premo. Quite possibly the best sample of all time.

[dvharris75]

NY STATE OF MIND !!!

[DeftFlow]

Dope sample, classic song. I found out how to play this on the piano, sounds great

[HipHopAus]

One of the best samples of all time. Sounds like it could be flipped nicely too. First time i heard that beat, it blew my mind and lead to me getting into hip hop properly, never actually heard the original sample till now

[twothousandgt]

Damn, good ear...

[Brynny211]

i agree Damn good ear

[enzarto]

@Brynny211 this tells you that premiere is very talented, and we need music like this for good 90s hip hop.

[kolisionn]

god premo was genius to find that piano bit and build it into one of rap's dopest storytelling tracks!

[euanobm99]

isanely intelligent and imaginative sampling

dj premier is on it

[publica74]

1:10-1:11-Aaaaaaaaah that's sweet

[mrnickb]

...i never sleep, cos sleep is the cousin of death...

[flowing311]

Brilliant arrangement by a brilliant man, give Mr. Chambers his due.

[Coolyfett]

Thanks for the upload homie!!! Nas is my favorite...the sample without the drums sounds like a peanuts gang song!! Classic!

[Robanzee]

[uptown1317]

[PickYourVenom]

@Robanzee they use the same sample, just augmented a little.

[AbbottSupreme]

CLASSIC!!!...

[ratni96a412]

Crazy how a simple piano beat can be turned into one of the illest instrumentals of all time.

[Hoopflicker]

This is an amazing sample. Listen closely to hear it around 1:06 - so well done!

[c02615223]
