3rd Bass needs to come back with a reunion album- get Sam Sever, Prince Paul back as producers, also throw in DJ Premier.. Serch, Pete, come back and give the fans one more LP!!
AMEN! lol. great lyrics and not to mention one of the best Samples of all time!!!! Amen Brother- The Winstons. never get credited for this 6 second drum loop, smh.
3rd Bass perfected the sampling technique with Wordz Of Wizdom. I'm a big fan of 70's music including Gary Wright's music. 3rd Bass sampled two of his songs perfectly with W.O.W. especially the Dream Weaver sampling beginning at 2:48. I remember hearing W.O.W. for the 1st time when I was 19 and when it came to the 2:48 part I was like "Oh sh*t!" Any Hip Hop group like 3rd Bass that can sample old songs and make me feel like I'm hearing them for the 1st time are just genius in my book.
I bought this cassette in Alaska, Dec 1989 and bumped the whole album from NC to Utah driving cross country when I was in the Air Force. This to me will always be THE defining track by 3RD BASS...
One of the greatest joints never airplayed! This is what hip-hop should blueprint instead of that garbage radio stations are playing now.Tell your radio stations to stop feeding you that bullshit or you'll go elsewhere.You have a voice....use it.
Yea man, it's weird, how Pete hardly did anything on stage and video except rap, hardly any movement but his limp, it was like he didn't need to convince himself he was fly.
@punksntded1 Agreed. The best track on perhaps the most underrated album from the golden age of hip-hop. There are a lot of downright gems to be found on The Catcus Album. It was a cassette that got worn down to nothin from too much time in the tape deck of my crappy Oldsmobile when I was a teenager.
