[Stemor61]

I'm not a rap fan in the slightest but this is gold. How did rap turn from this to the contemporary garbage I keep hearing?

[musiclover01ization]

An awesome song. Kool keith is a legend.

[2Reed0]

I NEED this Cd!

[Baaith1]

THESE BEATS NEVER LEAVE ME...NEVER. THESE GROOVES ARE THE REALEST ANTIDOTE TO THE WACKNESS THAT PASSES FOR HIP HOP TODAY..

[heemyraw1]

[frg8526]

They also influenced 'The Bomb Squad" ( Public Enemy) as well as De La Soul.

[listenfeel]

dr.dre was influenced allot by ultra i mean come on mayne this is straight outta comptom´s father!

[atl2maryland]

yea.. the beat patterns you can hear alot in that early dr. dre stuff. I used to always tell myself that.

[djt2012]

@listenfeel true, the "you've got the feelin'" sample was first used in "Feelin it", then in Dre's Ain't nothin but a G thang.

[listenfeel]

@djt2012 yes man but also listen to "straight outta compton" by n.w.a then you''ll hear that dr.dre straight jacked this beat pattern!

[D201RECORDS]

@listenfeel Nuh, uh, man. Straight outta compton sampled the Funky drummer pattern, this drum pattern doesnt have that double kick at the begining of the loop!

[listenfeel]

@D201RECORDS ...uhm.. we are talking 88', 89' here around that time i think they couldn't just filter the vocals from the beat. what i mean to say is that dr.dre didn't 100% copied the beat by sampling it . no he was influenced by it !. when he made the straight outta compton beat in de studio. dont forget around that time there were not kind of beats in hiphop! ultra was the first with beats like that and paul c.

[D201RECORDS]

@listenfeel Right on, that's cool

[soln4suhreborn]

@listenfeel Talkin' about that drum loop up under Ced Gee's programmed beat? It's "Amen,Brother" by The Winstons and Ced Gee and Dr. Dre' BOTH looped the drums from it. The difference is Dre' used the drum sample without any drums on top of it but a bass kick and a hi-hat. The albums both came out the fall of 1988.

[beatmakersuniversity]

@soln4suhreborn - i know you said this 2 months ago but nah that's not Amen brother that is a original beat ced gee programmed that in the sp1200 .

[soln4suhreborn]

@beatmakersuniversity If you listen closely,the drum break under ced's beat right before the first "Watch Me Now" scratch IS "Amen Brother". You can hear it even better at the end of the song after TR Love finishes talking. Ced does a lot of change-ups over it but it's there from 4:32 until the end of the song.

[beatmakersuniversity]

@soln4suhreborn - The only reason i know what he used because we lived in the same building 1372 washington avenue.lol Ced 8e me 12 e and i remember asking what he used he said the main beat is the sp12 and the scratches you are right are Amen the guitar was Joe Quarterman and a bunch of different samples.

[soln4suhreborn]

@beatmakersuniversity Ced was thinking way ahead of his peers back then. 45 King,Marley Marl,Todd Terry and all those cats were dope but Ced Gee took bits and pieces from everything and MADE it all work together. Word has it that he was the first cat in the Bronx to get an SP. The only other cats I feel influenced producers as much as Ced would be Prince Paul and later DJ Premier. Gotta give Moe Love props too because he cut and blended a lot of samples in on his turntables.

[fivestarism]

@D201RECORDS he's right that is the drum pattern its sampled but its not the exact beat though.But Dre definitely was influenced by them

[fivestarism]

@listenfeel I agree with you.This is a beat jack all day.

[zunez0rz]

@listenfeel More like Brother lol, but I hear ya

[musiclover01ization]

@listenfeel It could be true.Still, both UMC and NWA are pioneers.

[affgaff]

best scratch part ever

[youngblood741]

Does anyone know what sample was used between 2:36 - 2:44 Intensify or something?? Any ideas? been looking for this for a while. Also the guitar bit through the main beat etc.
