ONE LOVE

[Alino17]

Woonderful, some of the best sounding drum and bass sound ever.

No wonder it's been so 'stolen' for remixes... I love this rare cd; this humble 'hand piano' solo from such a master always touches me....

[Jaycool10]

Brother Beyond, your wax and selections are like the Black Hole....Infinite.

[BeyondBodyAndSoul]

@Jaycool10 I really appreciate that - thank you.

[GodsS0N1]

This is such a mystical sounding tune. Im gonna burn this on CD and play it in my car during a night drive.

[RedzTV]

genious sample on illmatic

[lee2nice]

classic!!!!

[KissTheRing914]

man so u say that shit is response 2 my comment? man w/e, giv Tip his props 4 the beat

[KissTheRing914]

yoo Q tip is a genious 4 this 1

[Eurobubble70]

no the heath brothers are geniuses, i like the one love beat but the sample is not even really chopped, that wasnt a big artistic feat by q-tip.

[Greeksoopaman]

I have two qualifications for beats. Its gotta be chopped or its gotta be dug. This was definitely dug. Props are due, give 'em.

[MassiveNyro]

i was just going to say the same thing as greeksoopaman after reading eurobubbles comment. anyone who uses a break for the first time can use it as it is, followers have to chop it.

i believe back in 94 this was an extremely rare record.

[Alino17]

@KissTheRing914

Stanley Cowell's Strata East productions and playing with the Heath Brothers are the ONLY manifestation of Geniality, here. Kiss'em.

[phlipn]

Nice post, Smilin Billy can also be heard on Jimmy Heath's Love and Understanding '73 Muse album.

O.K. Let me straighten y'all out:

Nas rapped on "One Love" off his landmark Illmatic Album...

The track was PRODUCED by Q-tip. Nas had nothing to do with picking this jam for the recording.

Thank you...that is all.
