Pete Rock - "Somethin' Funky"

[dll2804]

Top 10 composers anyone?

[powella90]

Hmm it must be relative to preference and the state of mind your in. Cause the first beat sounds way more dope to me right now

[DWIWindsands]

The beat on the end which was only a few bars is alot better then the beat that was playing.

[G1akaUndifined]

wat it do its that nigga undifined

punchin in the booth, but my ticket is my funky rhymes

my rhymes is my life, or more like my story

and i aint rich yet, but i went from rags to glory

real shiitt this how i came up

born in africa and raised in Vegas

[91dpat]

Whew! 1st time listener, relieved to hear some hip hop that tickles my ears and soul, rather than my cock.

[itsjosetapia]

This is true Hip-Hop at one of it's best. Lift's up my soul & makes me feel so chill :)

[Quake2815]

Sylvers bassline

[classicyroxi]

i love this song

[tonyt73]

Do you think Pete Rock and DJ Quik could ever collabo? In the lab mad scientist type stuff! Blend the unique styles to really do something insanely next-level! I await the day! Mad respect to producers/musicians. Pete Rock might be more on Dr Dre's wave length. Just a thought! Much love!

[xxxUniiKxxx]

Pete Rock, J dilla, Nujabes, 9th wonder, so many good hip hop producers,

its too bad some had to go :(

[julsgag]

@xxxUniiKxxx 100% true. Also love Fat Jon The Ample Soul Physician, unheard genius.

[xxxUniiKxxx]

@julsgag I just peeped his stuff too. very dope producer

[MrDRH2]

Dilla's beats are short and sweet, Pete beats are long and sweet, thats the only difference imo

[nomad27410]

you cant forget nujabes. That dude was a God send. RIP that dude is a legend. But I love some pete rock for real. Him and premier the greatest of all time in the US.

[TooLeGiT2QuiTTT]

Pete Rock, J-Dilla, & 9th Wonder Are The Sickest Producers, That's Real Hip-Hop.

[larrymcjones]

@TooLeGiT2QuiTTT hell yeah and DJ Premier too

[RecklessWonders]

@TooLeGiT2QuiTTT Don't forget Madlib and Dj Premier bro

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

I got a Pete instrumental page. Myspace..PETESTRUMENTALS, even promoted by the official.

[Sinosure]

Also note that the sample at the chorus part comes from Ahmad Jamal's 'Misdemeanor'! Check out the original here on Youtube & catch the sample at 3:02 or around that time frame! I love the way Pete Rock uses different samples in alot of his beats! Great post bruh!

[jkhalifax]

@frankwhite432

but he IS a producer of today...are you retarded? there are so many great producers out there making bangin shit right now. Maybe you don't know about what's out there. Live in the past if you want to...i like great music from all decades.

[quiteobserver]

ja pierdole ale BIT

[jamica326]

pete rock =pure genius

[nojusticenoweed]

petestrumentals is da greatest instrumental LP in my oppinion...and OFC i love dilla beat tapes and dj premier beats^^

[chrisevilmonkey]

i get more raw than high ????

[h2junkey]

@chrisevilmonkey

"More raw than hide" as sampled from "Large Professor's Funky 2 Listen 2"

[Punstyle]

@h2junkey

Thanks for pinpointing who said that line.

[callujah]

reminds me of better times this track

[t1aod0606]

petestrumentals.  truly classical. you up and coming producers pay attention. this is for true hip hop producers. this is hip hop.

[cradleofjohannes]

does he say "i get more than high" or "i get more raw than hot"?

dope music; dope producer!

[Blazinnig]

i think its more raw than hide

[sotocapo]

@Blazinnig i think so too cuz that make more sense than high or hot

[Blazinnig]

word

[perfhulm]

pete and dilla = genius

brasil

[devappy]

@perfhulm don't forget nujabes, kondor, nomak.

[Supra777mlg]

large professor:I get more raw than high.

Soul brother nº1 is at the top5 producers for me. 5/5

[TERIQUE86]

[RealHipHopTunes]

Pete Rock = Musical Genius

[JZA09]

GENIUS

[blackviolon9]

Genius beatmaker

[blackviolon9]

[SCHMOOVNESS]

[RAHdub1]

[SCHMOOVNESS]

"i get more more and hot"

[RAHdub1]

"i get more more and high"

[HighaShell86]

j dilla.........flying lotus......madlib........mf doom......dan the automator...

cats like these keep hip hop alive (along with the man bumpin in your ears!), we just spread the word nahhhhhh mean

not very well though these days!

[rams005]

Damn sexy!!!

[Pheonixboy1]

This is so deep to me. They should of layered this album as Conscious Hip-Hop cuz that how deep this beat goes.

[petersmul]

great straight hiphop beats!!!

[babyoil1]

[piranha55x]

yeah man i like all the different sounds and styles of hip hop, i just think those 3 are the best at their own style.

[blackviolon9]

mad mad snare broke my ears mad bass mad napp real shit is here "Somethin' Funky"

[VoodooRhythmSound]

One of my all time favorites from Pete.

[DnnQns]

If Anyone Notices Something About This Track, You Would Notice That It Has The Same Drums As Pete Rock's 1998 Classic "Respect Mine" feat. OC. That's How Great This Track Is. Cause You Can Use The Same Drum Loop On Two Different Beats & Still Make It Sound Dope.

[MRVISDOME]

whats the name of the drum break

[clsoon23]

sounds like funky drummer break chopped up and compressed.

[BorrieBeats]

possibly, but it sounds like it is layered with another snare.

[treeZon1]

lol ur an idiot

[undergroundflowin]

heavy props for recognizing that mate..

[ions2]

u got a good ear lol

[free140]

I get more raw than hot, freestlyin on this beat from the superior Pete Rock, to show the masses what I got, to hit the spot, and rid of swagga jackers-with the styles they jocked. Incompatible, unforgettable,undeniable, possibly overlooked,cause what the truth will bring-will get your ass shooked or get your ass hooked, Still it's all good. But what good does fourtune bring without the joy, when you sold yourself for the industry to exploit? This is my rhyme for the mind-for May 0-3, 2-00-9

[brireif]

i get more raw then hot - rappers tryin to be somethin the not - tryin to emulate styles they saw on tv screens and movies - tryin to chill with models half naked in jacuzzis / and carry uzzis / i laugh as i ride by on my bicycle / cuz when the summer ends their lives are more cold than icicles /

[RDoubt96]

im tired of niggas rapping and talking about how rappers are this and that today. Rap about something else! Those rhymes are so 2nd grade.

[brireif]

i get more than hot - this fine thing got my head in a knot - got me plannin out my future like we was tying the knot - i'm just tryin not to get got... tryin to make sure i neva have to sleep on a cot - makin moves so my kids have cash flow when my body starts to rot - didn't take long for shorty to connect the dots - the first clue was that her man likes to burn pot - she tellin me that she loves me a lot - and why not? - always care for the things that i got - strong like autobots

[BallAppeall]

gotta wait 30 minutes for the post man:(

[IntellectualMusic]

This kinda music should never die. If I was to sit down a fool who listens to pop music and made them listen to Petestramentals, 36 Chambers, Illmatic for a week with no sleep they will come out all educated and free of ignorance. Check out my beats though, 1love !

[SUPERAPE22]

No rating can do this album justice. Hip hop masterpiece.....

[Phlexxon]

This is some "think about the life and times" vibe right here. Covers all the bases.

[alanmorrison1986]

if u like beats, check me out kid.....big up to pete rock the god

[hambuk]

lemme hear ur beats

[LoopSkywalkerHN]

i get high of those tracks... petestrumentals is a masterpiece of golden hiphop!

[BallAppeall]

word

i'm spychadelicXD

when i listen to weed like this or kruder & dorfmeister i gets kinda high even normal rap songs - that are some REEEEEAAAL rap

song:)

and now i gotta get some sticky icky n call the postman

[derric01]

Even The Outro at 4:07 is Just Retarded, PR Beats are Timeless Classics!

[ChuRocka]

i haven't even heard this outro before... fucking hot bassline!

[h2junkey]

I remember buying this album from Tower Records when it was still in business back in '01. I was driving back home and i just couldn't stop playing this track and bobbing my head. It has to be one of the ultimate "driving" songs!

[lamphi5]

pete rock is the man i will be telling me kids about 10, 20 or even 30 years from now. "back in my day we listen to real shit like pete rock."

[djbash914]

same here!

[AlignmentPictures]

@lamphi5 Amen to that!

[NYVAboy]

@lamphi5 In some sad since we have to say that now lol

[Eyefoeye93]

@lamphi5 we already sayin it now looooool

[imtheFreshest]

@lamphi5

Haha, my kids will hear that shit too... Wooord!

If they like it or not... If they like it or not. Hehe, looking forward to ^^

[232323232321]

@lamphi5 I am Dominican and i am telling you i am from da 90's in new york and late 80's this guy's were great hip hop artist and we had a big line up did we!!!

[D3COMPOZE]

ya thats terrible

read that shit some shit dont make sense

[khaliamoon]

just a little something from a female dj. not a battle

[khaliamoon]

I rip mics like my bra strap like when I'm so hot with ecstacy

That most of these mcs choose not ot mess with me

but for those few who step up and try to bring heat

I rip tear them apart and toss stray dogs the meat

so what does that make me, a terror like taliban

soldiers except fool I told

I blow up the spot like iraqi suicide baby mamas

I'm bringing terror in a feminine form of drama

so step back and think twice, and twice may not be right

I bring death in the middle of broad daylight

[misaje]

I tap the type of flow to tow the try on trial for lies.../

As a spectator in your spectrum, expecting four eyes/

To vary, not violate a violin's vigilance arrived.../

Within vision when evnisioning the venue vocalized./

Defacing the value, I only lash back to localize.../

No wait, not often possessing cold eyes as my trait,/

I'm the type of man, a hue of tan, that hesitates/

When he feels ahead of the settings embedded in fate./

[caps1in1ya1ass1]

Nice.

[SoulSurvivorX]

i get my chills from this

[kingwill86]

i understand 23rdchamberofHipHop i feel the same alot of the time

peace!

[23rdchamberofHipHop]

I dont know about yall .. but I definitely see my self laid back in outer space with my headphones on bumpin this on repeat x 1000 lol.. I dont know thats just me

[henri333]

word up

[fliint99]

baselines are way to tight.

[lzmar25]

one of the legends on the beatz..

[ehwhoisdrwho]

not sure what folk reckon to this, but i'd say pete rock is to hip-hop as what aphex twin is to dance music?

[DEEPJUNGLES]

smooth sailing from gear on wit gear off fake bitches real quik for that jump ball but wit realness i install pressure on ya travel for those who cant assemble. i'll get ya mind drain out ya weakness to scramble im just vicious stay healthy wit knowledge labeled delicious under crates waiting like lucious still stackin high intuitions ready 4 any battle so i kan put up any explosive lyriks puttin trophies on my mental barracks.

[tobiko13]

ridiculously talented guy, this tracks really does blow u into the stratosphere

[lacems]

mothrfucken geniuss i swear

[mattingbeast]

damn, this is so fly. This whole petesrumentals record is dope. Freestyling over this or just chillin' over a glass of red wine -- it's legendary.

[RapaTerntSanga]

alcohol is bad, nikkuh!! look at jay D, now it's nate dogg on the list!!!

[Tha6l9]

COming through, as the specialist, just go and get on the list, in line for some massive ass kicks, trust me im not wayne i wont kiss you on the lips, im not playing, chicks i lay, my dick i spray in varoius a face, haha, im all up in the place, Pete Rock's got it locked, this Beat takes my brain on a walk, so i can find more scenarios to talk, carry you through a story, example, def. not Maury, i keep it real, thats why visit Pete to spyll my meal, Fresh and sealed.

[RapaTerntSanga]

[hiphoppersince91]
