[36klm2726]

RZA/razor

[KaishaLaSha83]

[mom5343]

HOLY SHIT!

[Canib0x]

o shit, RZA YOU FUCKING GENIUS!!!!

[pOBrain]

does anybody know where the drums where sampled from?

[solohoops07]

this beat is Cold as Ice Cream

[ONEoakRECORDS]

Top 5 Beat for me! Rza and Havoc 2 of the best, in my opinion. Yeah, I said Havoc. Please don't ever forget Shook Ones Pt. II!!

[reknowvator11]

@ckunk

The artist lists the songs they sampled in the liner notes with the cd. If he stole the dong, then he'd deserve to get caught

[Fabio718]

I always thought he sampled an ice cream truck haha! at least that's what I heard

[cKunke2]

artistic ability and relied completely on this song. Thats BS, and by bringing this up, you could get him in huge sh*t

[rileymayhem20]

@cKunke2 I think Rae and Co will be fine

[cKunke2]

You guys are such idiots for this. You really gotta learn 1 thing about your favorite producers before naming their samples on Youtube. That is, that it pisses the **** out of them more than anything. This is the kind of thing that gets artists broke and losses all the money they earned in their career of giving us great music. RZA didn't ONLY sample this record, he mashed together bunches of sounds for that beat, and made it his own. The corporate world disagrees and wants to say he has no

[centralparkfitness]

@cKunke2 your an idiot, if you sample without giving credit your stealing. period. I don't know if they credited the artist or not and the sample is absolutely brilliant but still, if you get caught cheating, don't get pissed at someone who ratted you out when you knew you were cheating.

[cKunke2]

@centralparkfitness

Dude STFU. No sh!t it's considered "stealing" in our judicial system, that's why we need to make an effort to keep the real artists that sample from getting snitched on, because it's an artform and greedy artists and lawyers don't really care how great of an artist you are. WTF are you even doing on this video if you don't understand the concept of sampling? You sure sound a whole lot more of a law enthusiast than a hip-hop enthusiast.

[JayGriffinblaze]

@cKunke2 I happen to come from the unique position of being a law enthusiast by way of training AND a hip hop enthusiast by way of culture & experience - that's why the recent Copyright laws the US passed really dick me off because they arbitrarily shut down EVERYONE. From those that sample responsibly & artistically to those that do it because "it sold before and can sell again" or becuz "Record execs/producer the record execs brought in/Current rapper/producer who's hot right now) told me to"

[JayGriffinblaze]

@cKunke2 Crate diggers & sample spotters have always been around, it's how the whole concept of production began when you break it down to elemental forms. Remove the need to loop a break from earlier tracks & start looping samples then creating new sounds & going from there. The problem we have now is that contemporary artists DON'T create new sounds, they just lift samples,10th/11th hand with no adjustment. Corporate world can't tell the difference which kills the raison d'etre of the genre.

[cKunke2]

@JayGriffinblaze

Amen

[JayGriffinblaze]

@cKunke2 I'm glad you understand where I'm coming from. Most people don't when I've said this on other forums. I've no issue with the copyright laws that the US brought in, but aside from Corporate influence over artists' output, and laziness the biggest reason for the sanitised Black music we have today is the fact that people can't really sample properly anymore. The producers that do/did can't because idiots literally steal other people's work with no alterations or additions.

[JayGriffinblaze]

@cKunke2 By the way, Madlib & MF Doom on your channel favourites currently........ I already know the quality of your steez, music wise. Respect. Real Hip Hop fpr life!!!!

[thatunit995]

@JayGriffinblaze word, i am never impressed by a beat when its litteraly sampled from a record

[JayGriffinblaze]

@thatunit995 well yeah of course I agree. But that's not what has been done here though is it now? It's a very small section which has been looped, pitched and sped up. That's wholly different from the P Diidy school of sampling for example which just lifts the sample with no adjustments.

[thatunit995]

@JayGriffinblaze yeah but thats what i mean, this is sampled in a original style

[razorsharpandonpoint]

@JayGriffinblaze i feel but me i credit SOME people that sample because you really got to have a ear for what will work because some samples while they may be from classic songs dont get sample right like you said

[Kikinahm]

so THAT'S why they are in the studio for MONTHS!! different genres of music...so much time...careful planning...wow

[barneywop]

yeah man making music is an amazing thing, like magic, dope shit... i dont understand why people saying it was a mystery, isnt it the album credits? or just un earth the song.. anyway i love vids like this, dope stuff

[CarpayDM88]

I wish they would have made the beat come in once the sample was sped up.

[Freakingesco7]

I Agree I Cant Believe a 15 Second Sample Made A Classic Song.

[DazeOfRealness]

Pure sickness. Amazing how a beautiful song becomes a hip-hop classic. Much respect for posting this

[Ayplus]

This sample is nice and whatnot but obviously RZA combined more than just one sample to create Ice Cream. RZA samples like 3 and 4 records at a time for one song. He's a legend, simple

[hiphopfoelife]

Ice cold bitches melt down when my clutch

and what they titties sucked, ice cream...

[oliverecords]

And for once, it's not just first measures beat. Right within a track. RZA, you naughty you.

[robroythefirstmm]

Anyone who does not listen to all types of music, especially Funk and soul music, dont know hip hop.

[ozzyunoe]

@robroythefirstmm

so true yo cuz even beat makers and deejays know that hip hop is everything and everything is in this music so if these cats wanna get open about the sounds remind em to close their mouth and open their mind...

[MusicFeen1]

Wow!!! FINALLY, I hear the original. Appreciate the upload. Always thought it was a piano. That's a trip. So simple but mesmerizing!

[MusicFeen1]

Wow!!! FINALLY, I hear the original. Appreciate the upload. Always thought it was a piano. That's a trip.

[DJOTCUTS]

dammit Rza! I have this record too!

[kevinerosa]

damn the abbott of the clan diggin deep in them crates

[onarix]

RZA Is THE Shaolin geniu!!

[Ashween070]

rza you freakin genius !!!! best kept wu secret

[mekz100]

damn, i always thought that sounded like a piano sample.

turns out its a guitar!

[DJOTCUTS]

@mekz100 dont feel bad, i always thought the Shook Ones 2 sample was a guitar and turns out it's piano.

[GONJASENSAIwu]

that was so worth the wait

[honkyechidna]

@s1ghandnod and yes, bitch, I'm talking about your toy debate over terminology. i'll strate patrick bateman you, hoe

[honkyechidna]

@s1ghandnod you're a strict lame who should be decapitated. RZA's flip is untouchable. and for you to say like a fuckin' herb "no its not" you just shit in your pants and ate the end product, idiot. please die now

[Kennedy1345]

hey mom can i have come moneyyy

the ice cream man is coming!

[78hiphop]

ILL!

[baileybronfg]

To grab this mp3 goto everymp3rip doht cohm.

[DJOlSkoo]

thats the true definition of flippin a sample!!! ill

[s1ghandnod]

@DJOlSkoo no its not. its just looped and pitched. not to take anything away from rza or the song. obviously its a classic.

[henryhansun]

The thing RZA did at the time is unmatched because he was using that ASR-10. Anyone who uses it or has used it knows that some nights when you all high or drunk or both, you just go through so many records and you can compose a hot joint just by using pieces of music instead of trying to sample a whole damn song. Just sounds and interesting licks, hits, stabs (notice those now exist within sampled soundbanks) but back then you had to get it!!!

[GREENnPURP]

shit is tight

[zerozebra]

genius, this is amazing

[dhwand]

RZA is nasty cats don't know about Earl Klugh !

[tokyo1crates]

@dhwand

sure they do!!! every blue note artist has been RAPED ;P for years and years

[CHIHUAHUAconda]

damn finally someone found it. nice work!!!!

[ewalton2477]

And the old rule regarding samples was if the sample used was 2 seconds, then credit wasn't due or owed. Even though, people like RZA always paid the orginal artists anyway just to show love as well as put money in their pockets and respect. That rule changed sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s if I recall correctly.

So yeah. That's about it. People need to understand hip hop and its origin instead of slamdancing the artform.

Peace.

[mrmaoam]

@ewalton2477 That's a myth...if its copyrighted you owe them doesn't matter how long the sample is.

[ewalton2477]

I read these comments and have to say a lot of you are just flat out idiots. What do you think hip hop is? It's all about sampling.

To the important part... man thank you times 100 for this one! I always thought this song was sampled from the Mr Softee Ice Cream theme.

The thing that made RZA so dope upon dope and the forefather of a lot of styles afterwards used by Kanye, No ID, Alchemist, Dilla (to an extent), et al was his multilayering of samples to make one beat. Just ingenious.

[TheConqueror09]

f**k me..... i love hip hop...

[skillkraft]

I read some were that the "Ice Cream" beat inspired Mathematics to start producing, he heard Rza every hour using 7 or 8 different samples and when he heard it finished he couldn't believe the final product. Rza layered this with so many sounds it is ridiculous.

[jarbon5]

Like how you let us listeners know how this was sampled. Thanks for that:)

[OperationDEE]

That's great, finally found, now, what's the name of the sample on "Ice Cream" with the voice exclamations? I'm talking about the "OOOOOOOOOOOO"

[damirtennis]

@OperationDEE

Rest of samples: "Then You Can Tell Me" by Bettye Swann &

"Ice Cream Man (rare demo)" by Method Man &

"Eddie Murphy Delirious" performed by Eddie Murphy

I'm pretty sure about the method man sample, the other two are just speculation..... Peace

[moneyraymusic]

niceeee i would of never guess by listening to the orginal

[vaultclassic]

man, you can get rza sued for this. Not the wisest post

[mikespits]

@blacknickelson look up "lil wayne gets sued" and tell me that that shit again..

[mikespits]

@dopeboifreshyes that's not true (maybe 20 years ago, but not now). sampling laws have changed dramatically over the years. the original composer can sue if a single note was sampled from their work (if they are able to prove it) without their knowledge.. and this is pretty obvious so it wouldn't be that hard.

[mikesmoove49]

if you listen to every album that Rza produce it was a classic. I mean his 93-98 was the best i ever heard. everytime a Wu album or solo joint from one of the Clan dropped i was in line before the store opened.

[neverplannedthis]

Absolute genius.

[brandongonz84]

nice ass beat

[BGPUNSHER]

God ,some of the producers are masters at what they do.

[ghandilord98]

RZA is a disciple of PAUL C who taught alot of us how to TRUNCATE the phrase of the song. The Sampling methods of PAUL C, DAVY DMX, MARLY MARL, CED GEE, and so on

[ghandilord98]

@ghandilord98

RZA used the Proto type of what is the ASR 10.

[MuzakConcrete]

maaayyn, rza was the greatest.

[tunnelflesh]

whaaaaaaat??? So sick. Never woulda' heard that/

[SoleFeenz]

oh damn!!! it is the sample!!

[mikesmoove49]

The Rza is a genius. Best Producer of all time.

[holyevil777]

@mikesmoove49 i agree

[hustlaave]

Wow for so long I though RZA sample the Mr. Softee theme

[KebabKriger]

Dj's are genious! too bad that everybody turns to boring electronica ..

[wufanforever]

How the f*#k did this get into RZA's ears in the first place?

[LetsPressPlayNow]

Haha this is crazy! i have always been wondering where Ice Cream was sampled from.

[yotespur]

Now that this one is out of the way,does anyone have the Crooklyn Dodgers sample?

[hustlaave]

which one, 1 or 2?

[yotespur]

@hustlaave The 1st one..Haven't seen anyone that really knows it yet..

[nerd213]

The Young Holt Trio - Strangers In The Night

[yotespur]

@nerd213 ..That's for the 2nd one...I was looking for the first one

[iancurtis86]

OMG

[Psycho81588]

the melody thatz sampled on this iz fire az fuck

[tygaelement]

Well done .. Its very satisfying discovering a classic sample

i recently found the sample for

gravediggaz - fairytalez & madvillian - americas most blunted.

[stefdelev]

America's Most Blunted? Mind providing a link?

[wrektime1]

w0w :)

[mitderhandamsack]

Great found...!

[THEINFAMOUS1011]

On Twitter he said "wait people are just finding out that's the sample to Ice Cream? Lol hilarious" not a direct quote but it was something similar to that lol

[THEINFAMOUS1011]

Apparently Just Blaze has known this sample 4 quite a while

[kuntpuppet]

@THEINFAMOUS1011 why is that?

[CWroyal88]

i can't believe it was a Earl Klugh record that he took out. i thought it was some type of Chinese/Japanese-like music that he used on Wu's albums or some other stuff that was related to Asian culture. RZA is the best!

[imdatruth1]

where can i get this song?

[mikespits]

Has anyone thought that, if Rza never credited the source of this sample when he originally sampled it, that the original composer can sue the shit out of him?

Just a thought..

[salgoud12]

Yup that does happen...a lot more than people think. That's what happened to de la soul back in the day. They sampled a small section of a song by the Turtles for a skit on one of their album skits. The Turtles sued them for almost all the profit they made on that album.

[dopeboifreshyes]

@mikespits no they cannot the clip is way too short in length to be considered for lawsuits. that's probably why he was never sued.

[blacknickelson]

@mikespits When they sampled even if they are not listed in albums they are still paid, legal departments usually handle all payments to appropriating (if there is such a term) parties. other what you foremention would then just ensue (literally) Just a reply..

[RiskBeats]

@mikespits no shit

[LadyEmpress987]

@mikespits thats true and word on the street is that they are going to court--I just learned of the unveiling of the sample im my MIDI class this evening--crazy sh*t

[conorucd]

@mikespits rza probably had to do it official through whatever label - and as part of the deal they didnt have to acknowledge it and just pay them. or theyre dead etc....

[genggrizzly]

what the fuck does it matter if someone posts a video with the sample info on it? Esp. a classic like this? Practically 15 years later.

I can understand getting mad at someone making money off of comps that have mega rare records and sample listings in the liners...but all of this is out there already...that's how Rza found it...eventually someone else was going to stumble upon it as well.

[PornIzFunni]

RZA's a Mad Scientist. Dude hears things differently than the average producer. Took the World 15 years to figure the sample out. haha.

"Wu Tang Clan 4ever MuthaF*ckas!!!"

[gotjuice9]

"You know how that go. y'all are VIOLATING. Straight up and down!" - DJ Premier on idiots who snitch on their favorite producers by running their mouths on the backs of breakbeat compilations (and youtube).

[catalistic]

@gotjuice9 nah man this is hip-hop. don't keep this shit secret, people have been wanting to know this sample ever since it came out

[datniccaweems]

@gotjuice9 if premo can come up with his own original shit instead of sampling maybe ppl wouldnt be searching so hard for the sample

i would have never imagine were rza got the ice cream sample from this shit ill

pay the person you sample from you taking money out they pocket and you be heraled as genius and all you doing is taking someone else music looping it

stop crying premo

[Benovite]

RZA crowned it with this one.

[ChromeDreams5]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[madvillian7]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo! i thought i would never hear this sample! for a while i thought it was played

[qoolquest]

praise the LORD.

[catalistic]

THIS IS AMAZING . One of my most sought after samples. RZA is king.

I always thought it was a piano sample... he must have lowered the sampled rate on the ASR or whatever he was using for the beat.... thank you!!

[CLOVEONE1]

I LOVE HIP HOP!!!!!!!

[Kristofftherussian]

Daaayuummm!!! Earl Klugh huh? Who would've thought?

[tremblay679]

crazzy!!! damn it took 15 years to find this shit.....RZA's best kept secret unearthed!! Props to the cat that unearthed this shit....RZA is a genius

[JSVETTEZ06]

@tremblay679 HHAHAHAAHAHAAA my nigga said 15 YEARS.. hahahahaaaa i feel you on that son... samplin is a art in the hip hop game... so sad hip hop is dying man..

[SupraJZGTE]

blew my fuckin mind , good find. PEACE TO THE W CORP!

[jaze703]

das crazy

[mannypuj1122]

Wow...
