[epholder39]

R.I.P. Bradley Nowell

[itzillmatic]

Marley Marl used 'Funky Drummer' best, in Kool G Rap's 'It's A Demo'.

[ProProducerJC]

Dude you're awesome! Thanks for keeping us in touch with the music that has inspired the hip hop that I love and for the great entertainment.

[Lortenerfrisk]

[bathinghippo]

[MrCr80man]

I've sampled Funky Drummer in like 3 of my beats... It's an awesome break!! Aint it Funky?

[Jboy3400]

[eXpLiiiSiT]

[blodachia]

that Myra Barnes song was also sampled by Lil Kim for her song "No Time"

[bigddagenius]

you forgot about the baby you nasty(the original version) sample in funky drummer. its the very beginning before you fast forward.

[lettiejones7]

I can't help but to notice the machine you are using for your shows. Can you tell me what it is? It seems to be perfect for taking specific samples, and even at the push of a button - play samples on beat. Very interested, what machine is it?

[chuckybones]

the track is hot music by soho aka pal joey. It was originally sampled from about a second and a half of a wynton marsalis track. blucka! blucka!

[nuggbubbler]

i thought the caldwell sample was stevie wonder.

[Hubci0x]

Nice video man. I've got only one question. What's the name of 9th song?

[BAGHDADBURGESS]

Yo at 8:07 is Lil Kim's No Time for Fake One's

[tarzan220]

That sound at the start of the last Track has also been sampled by TC.. check out:

TC - Where's my Money

TC - Where's my Money (Caspa Remix)

I'm not 100% sure about it. But thats what i thought when i heard that.

[Inficario]

K-os is sick 

[TheRealKayos]

Teach on teacher.............. check out: kayos - Doing it right

[DollaTwo]

Cool video

[qbone20]

I like this bro. appreciate the knowledge.

[bigd3256]

yo lupe is tough....1 of few to sample from opera

[funktuall]

@bigd3256 The Bolero Melody song isn't an opera song I have come to find out. It's actually a Tagalog (Phillipines Language) ballad.

[68skate68]

Some More by The Most (1986) It's My Beat by Sweet Tee and Jazzy Joyce (1986) Fastest Man Alive by Grandmaster Flash (1986) The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince (1987) Get Loose Mother Goose by Marauder and the Fury (1987) Guns in the Sky (Kick Ass Remix) by INXS (1987) Master Mix Medley by DJ Jazzy Jeff (1987) Bring the Noise by Public Enemy (1987) Rebel Without a Pause by Public Enemy (1987) Say Kids What Time Is It? by Coldcut (1987)

i know em all!

[68skate68]

@68skate68 i can name all of them all. i dont want to continue

[romeok2]

:O I HAD NO IDEA the Lupe sample was an opera song.

[ponginoh]

dude got me on the kick push! nice.!!!

[fapturap]

Jay-Z also sampled the Isaac Hayes breakbeat :D

[CanadienEH420]

you suck dude

[frankadam76]

This guy is hard to watch, but I can't hate on him, he digs the tunes.

[swatlanta7]

You got a killer T-shirt game!!!

[ytterbiumslug]

Dude. U are making me so smart. I'm loving every minute of it.

[davidferreiro1988]

good work

[MrEpistle]

It's a rare and amazing thing when you get to take your passion and have a platform and audience to share it with. I know you're enjoying making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them. Keep it up brother. Much love.

[abstracted01]

The Esther Phillips version of "Home is Where the Hatred Is" is also worthy of a listen, as is Paul Nice -Soul on the Grill.

[kellya309]

Your enthusiasm is as amazing as the samples! Love this!

[FiswaT]

dope

[JDev82]

i subbed. great work. you really love your music

[Mousler100]

I've always known this, but now I'm thoroughly convinced that if James Brown never existed, the all of us would of been f**cked out of nearly everything fly, funky and dope. Seriously though --- the dude AND HIS BAND were at the center of the musical universe.

[undataka2000]

dj y u look like u gotta go to the bathroom lol

[jawkneeboy]

awesome series, man, i love this shit

[justinepierrelouis]

The sample number 6 reminds me of Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys.

[jimmyrich1]

R.I.P Guru of Gangstarr

[sylibus08]

Bro your vids are awsome cuzz, i took some samples and chopped them up

check my vids

[doug3673]

Yo son... you gotta check your facts a bit. Soho - "Hot Music" is not the same Soho that did "Hippy Chick". The Hippy chick cats were a trio from the UK.... Soho that did hot music was 1 dude... a house DJ/producer from NY.

[funktuall]

@doug3673 He's 100% right. I thought I corrected myself with the Annotations but maybe not. I'm DOUG and I'm outta here!

[TMundo]

@funktuall I'm Doug and your Dad

[jnwill1]

Man...your knowledge of music is bananas!!! How'd you learn so much about all these samples?

[JonBlizzle2]

get shivers from that Lupe Sample everytime

[bonzodrums0]

that break at 5:20 sounds like the intro to empire state of mind too

[osmeustomates]

ow my god man, your house it's a party all day son!

[bluessiren78]

Are you kidding me? Gil Scott Heron, holy shit...........My Mother played his records in the house. Home is where the hatred is? Uh huh, The Revolution will NOT be televised. Holy shit, again, hahaha. Love you finding out all the shit and sharing it with us!

[bluessiren78]

Are you kidding me? Gil Scott Heron, holy shit...........My Mother played his records in the house. Home is where the hatred is? Uh huh, The Revolution will NOT be televised. Holy shit, again, hahaha. Love you finding out all the shit and sharing it with us!

[MrTouchtechnique]

[theloniousboo]

positiveeee. enthusiasm is dope

[ZenOfTube]

First breakbeat - Clyde Stubblefield on the drums.

He's still working hard in Madison WI, go check him out!

[darganx]

Great vid... say hi to Paula from me haha..

[HighQProdz]

I really respect your knowledge, but seriously, you look very bad in that outfit.

get some gear what does not let you look like a 5 year old little boy.

[hitch4645]

im glad he's a k-os fan, that man is a beast

[lesiki]

Just stumbled across this.. has to be the best channel in Youtube history! Love the passion and the knowledge about these oldies..

As a 'head' I've always felt I need to learn more about Gil Scott-Herons of this world.

[TRKoneAD2]

thanks for SoHo Hippie chick

[GregoryGraveyard]

wow that was crazy at the end...right when you said we would have TWO to watch your wife made a peace sign!!!!

[Hellafornicali]

[jaynoe123]

Dope ! Say Hi To Your Gurl , I Like The Fact That she Supports You ...Peace and God Bless.

[matvillian]

[wonderataoldotcom]

[trademark1874]

:)

[seekism]

I love you for this man! you really helped a learning musician out!

[undefeated1000]

dilla dilla dilla beats beats beats

[camillyc]

This is cool!

[SmattyG]

Hey DJ Funktuall - awesome posts. Funky Drummer was sampled by UK band The Stone Roses for their 1989 hit Fools Gold, which was then sampled by Run DMC for What's It All About. Circle of life huh?

[marcuscornelius1]

pharcyde ruined their whaaaat??? you cant mean labcabincalifornia

but your videos are great dude, good job

[funktuall]

haha. You're right labcabin is certainly better than I am saying here. Ditto De La Soul's future records. Guess I had beef cause Bizarre Ride and 3 Feet High are just sooooo so good.

[shamarone]

before above the law, i believe producer tony-d of poor righteoous teachers fame used that for either PRT or a solo cat named YZ. this is deep east coast NJ/NY/CT knowledge.

[TubeAChupe]

Like your work and your enthousiasm, keep it up :)

[terryfrancisfrench]

This geeza cracks me up! he obviously loves his tunes! cheers for the samples man, the common one is excellent!. was that dj premier who done that?

[isavedchip]

Does anyone know the sample that is like: "Woah!" on beat 1 and "Yeah!" on beat 3???? It's driving me crazy, its used on loaaaadds of hip-hip.

Sick video by the way, safe

[rsiito]

Classic James Brown break from 1972 in Think(about it) by JB´s female pair, Lyn Collins? Unbelievable song. Introduced earlier in this series. Can´t find a hip hop or a house classic from -89-91 which don´t have it.

[jegsmoothone]

Man, that "Hot Music" track by Soho, continues to be one of my favorite club joints. All you house music dancers know what I'm talking about! Loving all ur vids man. Love it!

[ScaryJBlige]

ESOM samples "Love on a Two-Way Street" by The Moments

[barryw53]

Yeah man! Above the Law were great, easily the best West Coast group at the time. Murder rap and especially Untouchable, so good.

[gianca60]

Gil Scott Heron rules!

[eyesea]

you probly know them but foesum is good too

[BLONDIE6208]

Still want to dance with you. We can keep a beat. You have captured my want to move.

[BrandNewToYou]

Thank God I'm watching these now! 6 months in between this one and the last hahaha

I would have been pissed if I was waiting! LOL HAHAHA too cool man too cool

[bluenotejazz]

Give me the original songs over anything they have spawned, any day.

[34Kuro]

I think it was not a matter of Public Enemy or RUN DMC or LL but it was a matter of Hank & Keith Shocklee. Though I might be wrong.

peace

[eyesea]

above the law is the shit.

[FaD3d101]

AWESOME VIDZ!!! As a producer i really appreciate all of em thanx brah

[SwanginNBanginENT]

Ur The Man Great VIdeos

[USDApproved]

damn i never seen anyone enjoy samples as much as you! good shit bro stay up!

[starstina69]

The lupe fiasco one actually gave me chills! Its not opera tho... but nonetheless, cool!

[brothermopsy]

Incubus used the first sample in idiot box. It's fuckin' 4 in the am and I am still up thanks to your videos!!!!

[folcane]

The sixth sample has been used by Jay Z empire state of mind. You might want to update this. Great vids!

[19thlegion]

thanx a lot for doing these, man!,,,That SOHO joint came from a Wynton Marsalis record off of "J-Mood"

[EvanRowan]

Love what you've got going here. You really are enjoying yourself and that's what I like to see. The anonymous hand at 9:51 scared me. I needed to watch again to see if my mind played tricks on me.

[smoothpants]

I wouldn't call that an opera record. There is a style of Latin music called Boleros. Generally they are more of the songs for slow dancing.

[bow2urepnoy]

Oh dang! that lupe fiasco sample is from my MOM's generation back in the Philippines! once again dope stuff

[bow2urepnoy]

Oh my goodness, i was tabbed out on facebook then you stopped the bobby caldwell sample. i got pretty upset hahaah

hey good stuff man nice to know some of these stuff

[saalihah]

i effs witchu w. boy. I like your sketcher pjs. :-)

( you get dap on the block, just dont were no celtics tee shirt to the par- tay!)

[patterzs]

haha this guy's great...good music makes real heads that happy

[miahmakhon]

You Sir, hold the fabled knowledge.

feeling you on Funky Child!

[barondraw1]

rad shirt bruh lol 8D.

Keep vibing man, lovin ur vids.

[kinglee313]

No lie....I liked Labcabincalifornia. Underrated in my opinion.

[Bcrawshaw]

Totally agree. I preferred Labcabin. It was darker and the production was way tighter. Take drop, runnin' and something that means something- classic Dilla productions

[Realizalize]

Beethoven`s symphony no.5

so far, but trace for finding ....

[charlieb4544]

u got allot of people hating f them u the man

[CDMATHISSR]

Vicky Anderson was also sampled by puffy and lil kim for ...no time (for fake ones)!!

[Nycetrees]

the light is an amazing song.

Jdilla used that sample perfectly.

this guy is kindajokes too haha

[gztkt4]

Great Knowledge Bro...

[selftaughtworld]

diggin deep!!

[marlag927]

I don't know if this was said already but SOHO "Hot Music" used a sample from a Wynton Marsalis song, I don't know which one though, but I heard the song on youtube.

[mackie69]

i think its K O's - superstar

[noerbbreon]

you got your music knowledge and i was listening to you, but when you talked about funky child i began to hear you (old school movie reference). chief rocka still had the illest beat, but funky child went retarded went the lyrics good call. i have not seen all your vids but i will check them if you check pete rock and cl smooth

[hannyselbak]

yo thanks for this but you are insane

[funktuall]

hahah, look guys it's a racist! LOL

[importfreak123]

That's pretty cool the whole opera thing with Lupe's "Kick, Push" i loved that man. You got your facts straight man haha

[mat1873]

funktuall what are you man? a beatdigger? you always come up wit the flyest samples

[sigepty]

#10) The Whatnauts - "Help is on the Way" assists with the tight guitar loop on Ring (Ha Ha Hey)... can't wait for more videos!

[vazdatu]

love the kanye samples he digs real deep in the crates..

[gmu2]

thats hot man, wow lupe wow....genius

props for a superb installment

[sloppyfupas]

2:08 DUSTIN PEDROiA

[ctreid89]

what happen 2 da pop ups? i loved da songs as always though

[MyNameIsLennonTV]

funktual check 'we almost lost detroit' itll blow your skull open lol

[ReservationAtDorsia9]

didnt geto boys use that myra barnes (#9) sample too?

[klmbaby4]

Don't know about the Geto Boys but I know Diddy used it for Lil' Kim's joint "No Time"

[ReservationAtDorsia9]

dam i miss the days when funky drummer used to get used.

[Jhiebs]

Damn props Soundtrakk on finding that Celeste Legaspi sample....Damn that shit is so DOPE!!!!

[MissKi85]

That opera piece that Lupe Fiasco sampled was hot. Yet again, this was a great installment. Keep it up because we really appreciate this.

[07091102]

Once again I learned something from this clip, some very obscure samples used to make some very good records.

Who else but a Kanye West inspired artist in this case Lupe Fiasco would use the intro from a little known modern opera song as the basis for beat like "Kick Push" I reccomend that album by the way, very good without any weak tracks.

[KrierKid92]

That Common 1 was produced J Dilla. Dilla 4 life.

[DaNoyZe]

you rock ! i love listen to original samples

[fahlito]

I remember Kool G Rap using it the first time I heard it

[alvincosino]

whoot lupe!

[guptar86]

Oh and thanks for the shout-out to Canadian rap man... k-os is da bomb.

[guptar86]

k-os also sampled the Funky Drummer in "B-boy Stance"... he even includes the "ain't it" part from the "ain't it funky" line

[benhenjr]

This dude is sick for knowing about Above The Law! "Livin' Like Hustla's" stayed in my Kenwood Pullout back in the day... Lil' Kim's "No Time" used the same sample nicely as well.

[fahlito]

There was a kid named YZ out of Trenton, NJ, who was the first to use this sample. He had a song called "Thinking of a Master Plan".

[hotdrumchick]

Gil Scott-Heron!! Throw a WAAAY back!!

I remember the original stuff, but I don't know the samples in the hip-hop context.

This is cool, tho!

[abrooks053]

i spent so long just lookin at these videos than lookin at the actual songs and the music was so great to listen to

[cj6987]

6:46 The kanye fans just went WOAH!

haha funktuall! you say it, as I think it!

great stuff, keep it up.

this is like im in a class and your my teacher!

love this stuff

[cj6987]

I think Rahzel used some of funky drummer in his 4 elements song, not so much the beat, but the small lyrical hits

[dawnye1]

My mother use to bumb the song " One Step" by Aretha Franklin. wow

[gloryboxmusic]

geek-o!

[elpablodpelpa]

My Youth, Yuh BAD NUH RASSS!! Respect

[dipsetallday75]

yo you knnow your music stilll.....respppectzz

[royalefreshness]

I'm not sure but i think the song he's the dj im the rapper by dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince samples the breakthrough but its sped up. the main beat.

[justvibe69]

ok i just went and listened to Aint I but i dont think Timbaland sampled the break beat.. but im pretty sure towards the end he samples at least PART of it

[justvibe69]

isnt that first james brown break beat used in Aint I by Jay Z?

[therealtracysson]

#9 is more popular for being sampled for "No Time" by Lil' Kim feat. Diddy and "God Bless" by LL Cool J

[therealtracysson]

Actually Ayatollah used the Aretha Franklin sample since he produced the song for Mos Def....Although the artists picks these tracks the producers that find these sample and chop 'em so crazy should be getting the credit don't U think!!

[centralballa1]

funlyuall how do u know all these samples u must love hip hop

[SykoDj]

whats song 2 couldnt make out what you said other than buddy something

[jaymillaman]

the kick push sample was amazing
