Bobby "Blue" Bland - Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City

[SonicBoom0626]

Jay- Z didn't remix this. Its called a sample.

[innocentearth]

meanwhile as all around debate continues Bobby keeps on goin on !

[PriincetonWiifey]

THIS IS A VERY GOOD SONG AND YOU ARE RIGHT BOBBY IS THE MAN

[csh191gmail]

Jay Z is a filthy PCP loving Negro. Simple as this. Dirty as that.

[SonicBoom0626]

@csh191gmail Wow... wth is wrong with you?

[justtony21]

however Bobby is the man!!

[justtony21]

gay-z is crap. pure and simple

[MyDstarz]

the original still holds it, but the jay z version is still good. come on people its not like its nickel back or simple plan.

[Tman1997abc1]

DJ HERO

[TheRoundRubberDuck]

hey! stop hatin'! Jay-z remixed it, so what! That's why it's here. For you guys who don't like Jay-Z, don't hate! But please don't call Jay-Z crap, becuase he's not.

[updown4455]

@kirbyrocks6 >> Of course it was ruined by the human trash known as Jay Z. Get your facts straight kid.

[updown4455]

Another great song ruined by the trash known as rap/hip hop. What a shame.

[kirbyrocks6]

@updown4455

It wasn't ruined. That's just a remix. The original is still here, and it's not any less listenable. Stop whining.

[YounngRose]

....the 2nd top comment shouldnt even be a top comment..... Anyways, love this song.

~Aint No Love in the Heart of the City~

[jasonlava]

OK. So DJ Hero introduced me to (their sped-up version) this song, but what a beautiful song it is!

[tchanssen]

I hear this song and it makes me think of a woman I love in another town, I can`t wait to see her again. Her name is Terri and I love and miss her so much..I love you, Terri..Your Tim.

[tchanssen]

Love this song and I heard it on the Movie Lincoln Lawyer.. The Movie is really good and worth the time spent watching it. I have watched it several times and it only gets better. Great songs in it to..Enjoy..

[tchanssen]

[MrGmoney832]

they dont know about about that Memphis, TN sound....The sounds of Philadelphia, along w/the Motown sound of Detroit Michigan has given the greatest collection of artist the world has ever known.......listen to the horns at 2:20 followed by dope lyrics throughout the rest of the song and learn something lol

[solo364]

I usually HATE slow songs.. but of course Bobby knows how to sing it.

[fucker661]

Nothing brought me here. just enjoy listening to something that isn't garbage.

[1toppdogg]

@fucker661 i feel ya but some people hear songs in movies and they dont know of the artist yet so thats how they get brought here

[olympiakaras4life]

I know people make all these stupid comments about people who press the dislike button BUT seriously why would you dislike this song

[AreaCode978]

Makes me yearn for the 70's.

[BAmaurer08]

little known fact...

Jay-Z just rapped over it.. Kanye West made the beat, and gave/sold it to Jay-Z

dont hate the player. hate the game.

Regaurdless this song is excellent, but i like both versions.

[mbg1211]

This song was also in American Gangster (Jay-Z's version, in the trailer at least), but hearing the original version in Lincoln Lawyer brought me here! Great song!

[SongDetective]

[JRodFilms]

[NYRyder1983]

It was repeated on here but for those who don't know or don't get it, this is the song Jay-Z sampled from

[Marrikable]

the Jayz song is listed on the right side of the page, its just called Heart of the City

[chefdiz]

what the hell is dj hero? seriously, outta the loop... all i know is this joint is a HARD joint... and any newbie that says this song was "stolen" from jay z is outta their cotdamn, delusional mind!!!

[fc3175]

جميل 

[MysteryEzekude]

As much as I enjoy listening to the DJ Hero remixes, it's nice to listen to the original songs too. The original version of this song is very relaxing.

[jayo2010able]

This is one of the hardest songs I've ever heard. Damn! It is playing in the movie Brown Sugar when dude is in the cab with Mos.

[tith1tv]

ORIGINAL BAE, BAE... THAT'S ALL I GOT 2 SAY... ORIGINAL...

[ScorchinBeats]

This song is genius, and Kanye/Jay made it EVEN better!

[fucker661]

@ScorchinBeats yeah right, this song is perfect the way it is. all they did was take the beat, do nothing to it and rap to it. cheap ripoff artists that cant make beats.

[kenjixo]

fucking new gangstas

[itsfaco]

this is from the movie fighting

[fucker661]

i cant believe people dont make music like this anymore

[loquillo13yoyo]

joder menudo temazooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooo

[3Y3L0V3U]

original is more epic. kevin romar!

[tivostar]

Jay Z did what?

Dude this is music. Real Music!!!!!!

[MrBad357]

so true cant go nowhere with out a gun

[mdeslinger]

is sounds better faster

[TheSeenbeen]

@mdeslinger yeah... this. does anyone know where i can find the faster version.

I first heard this song on the movie "Fighting" and the rhythm to that was just right

[syncere397]

Could someone help me with the lyrics, I am trying to understand if he says in the 2nd verse ...." the nights are cold, there's a blanket of gloom, another trick i saw.. or (another chick i fucked) in my lonely room?

[JDLK2005]

@syncere397 lol its "When night time calls, theres a balanket of gloom, another teardrop falls, in my lonely room"

[MikeKrysta1]

This is a true blues classic! "Ai'nt no Love in the Heart of the City" Just the title alone!!!!!!!

[ScorchinBeats]

Man this is so much better than Jay's

Not that his was bad, it was fuckin hard - but this is just so original hah

[ladymakini]

to 13today boy check your ignorance, where you been, where you come from? EVERYBODY knows BLACK PEOPLE DO IT ALL, THE CREATORS,stroll thru YOUTUBE, do some research!! you must be stupid, limited, or retarded,HIP-HOP s

[mrsinister06]

13todays8ing, you'r comment shows your ignorance. 1st this is not jazz its blues. 2nd blacks produced more music than hip hop and jazz; swing, gospel, blues, soul and even rock & roll had it's roots in the black community. Legendary rock performers (beatles, elvis, stones, clapton etc) all admit their music was influenced by black artists. It was the original sampling!

[13todays8ing]

the only good music black people produced. no offence no racism it's just that rap, hip hop, and pop suck. jazz is good.

[davetaylorbluespiano]

@13todays8ing - all modern music, including pop, middle of the road, rock, metal, grunge, dance, country etc, came from American music (1890-1970, say) which was hugely black-influenced.

(Altho' not totally black- jazz was mixed too, and had white input. Even blues and funk had white influences- otherwise it would sound just like older traditional African music).

To me, music advances because creative people are always open-minded, and are influenced by everything they hear.

[zsilvah]

theres no reason to diss hiphop, just jay-z... just because one artist's one song doesn't compare to the original song doesn't mean that you can dismiss an entire genre of music... hiphop before it became commercialized had some of the best lyrics and messages of all time if you go back to the 90s in the "golden age" of hiphop when it was about hiphop and not solely about money, and if you still don't like it then you can go ahead and dismiss hiphop, but one bad cover doesn't ruin hiphop

[Gbellinger27]

Perfect for those lazy Saturday arvos!!

[SAABsorken]

So why would anyone diss hiphop? Because it sucks? Becuase it trashes all great old songs? Rip-off anyone? Hiphop: JO JO JO UUUUHHH.. (groan groan) (sample from great oldie) UH UH UH JO JO JO HO... Yes, why diss hiphop...

[HipH0pMessiah]

@SAABsorken I hate to break it to ya, but you're just as ignorant as those who dismiss any other genre of music without further investigation. :/

[SAABsorken]

Turd: Investigate furter or dismiss?

[HipH0pMessiah]

@SAABsorken I hate to break it to ya, but you're just as ignorant as those who dismiss any other genre of music without further investigation.

[SAABsorken]

You´re absolutley right - it´s what it´s ALL about. That´s not a compliment, not to hiphop nor to the original artists. I listened to jays version for almost three seconds.

[BaconGames]

It's a shame when a middling rap artists samples such a great song because honestly a WAY better hip-hop artists easily could have.

Don't diss hip-hop for sampling because that's no excuse.

[Monsterpaperkutz]

jay-z sux he don't compare

[SAABsorken]

So sexy. The break.. so perfect.

[brothajamez]

I agree with 'theinfamousrd'. if I hadnt heard jay zs vers. i wouldnt have found and heard this song

[javedkhanbhai]

fuck jay z , these rappers these days wanna copy everything. Please do something original have some self respect mfuckers

[theinfamousrd]

These rappers are actually paying tribute to past artists sampling is the music and beats part I think originality should be in the lyrics creating new stories that will take your mind to a place where you visualize every word

[extrahustle]

yeh my dude. The blues artists did the same thing coming up. In a way they did their form of sampling each other. It's called interpolation. And among the the thousands who rarely go beyond the rudiments of copying or tryin to...there always emerges a few who change the way things are done and progress the musik....or begin a whole new genre altogether....let those who suck do so. Then we can apppreciate the ones who are talented...music is for all....peace...

[allkoolaid]

perfect

[utko1995]

awesome

[ChrisEgnew]

everyone is comparing this track to jay zs. but wtf. they're way different. the bobby bland version is a classic of the blues genre and jays is a classic in hip hop

[TheMacattack123]

ahh i wish music like this and 90s hip hop was still around, what ever happened to the good old days? i wonder =[

[GhostSabre7]

@TheMacattack123 : People found out that all you had to do was have a catchy beat with ok/bad lyrics and you can make millions.

[ChrisEgnew]

true that.

I.E

lil wayne, drake, etc

[TheMacattack123]

amen :)

[devilknowsyou]

AWSOME Song. One of the most perfect composed ever IMO.

That bassline is so sick!

[nemanyaws]

This is THE ORIGINAL, and as it is irreplaceable! But i personally like Whitesnake version.. (Btw they were the first to do its cover).

[getzata96]

This is the original version and the one that I love the most.I can listen to it all day long.

Peace people!

[mclovin846]

it sounds like anol love

[mirete1992]

great!!

[xxflyingsolo06xx]

foolz yo

yall only know this song b/c dj hero

[jasontgaddy]

Jay z used it first in "Ain't no love", DJ HERO just made it more original, but Jigga still killed it.

[jasontgaddy]

Jay z did it first on "Ain't no love" off of the Blueprint original, DJ Hero just broke it down to those too young to understand the meaning. Jigga still ripped the floor out of this one!

[theboondocks01]

Jay Z did a good job with this song but nothing can beat the original.

[2paczfan]

@theboondocks01 yassir

[322895]

@theboondocks01 agree!!

[BRADSZ99]

@theboondocks01 kanye did a good job with this song

[justinnali420]

@theboondocks01 check out the one spm did

[shygirl2529]

DJ Hero all the way, sounds real good on there

[dacookiekid1]

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG. I PLAY IT ABOUT EVERY WEEK ON VINYL.  AND THEN, ON DJ HERO... and NOW HERE. lol

[BuddyBelgium]

Heard from Dj Hero too.. :) Excellent !

[Autumn82]

Classic!!!!

[jodystickamo]

Wow! The ORIGINAL song & a CLASSIC!!! 1 of my favorite songs. This beat & hook has been sampled a FEW times by various artists. (rap & rock-N-roll) Bobbie "Blue" Bland, a BLUES LEGEND!

[vicswifey09]

[unilez]

Simply sublime thankyou

[grave5tone]

[LuCaRiOfan94]

Are you fucking retarded? This song wasn't "stolen" from Jay-Z. It was made YEARS before Kanye sampled it for Jay-Z's song. Do you dumbasses understand the meaning of SAMPLING??...

[bessadale]

Wow! This song was made famous by Whitesnake in the late 70s. I had never listened to the original version. Great!

[YoungGully]

LMAO!!!! Educate them.

[khalidbahrain]

hahahaha 'stolen'..well said lucario

[Didda3rd]

[bradioactive]

@LuCaRiOfan94 what jay-z song is this sampled in? (i live under a rock)

[mcneal78]

@bradioactive This is sampled on Jay-Z's "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love) from his album, The Blueprint 1.
