[charliecundiff]

Somebody in the studio was screwing with the stereo dial at the beginning of Mecca's verse. I thought she was spinning around my head.

[nuknuknuk111]

[lari861]

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 Then please enlighten me good sir.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@lari861 i dont think i can tell you about yourself, but I many french canadians, and they feel different. its about you, which is fine, but its not about where youre from

[lari861]

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313 No im saying i cant understand half of the slang they use . I do understand english , not everything tho . I wish .

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

[comeradesnarky]

Funky

[8taxidfor9]

NOT

[8taxidfor9]

Is This Were "

Jettin" Came From

[olmec19]

I Once Had The CD Blowout Comb-'Jettin' Was 1 of My Favorites!!

[AdamCharlton]

I heard they are playing in LA this sunday Jan 31st at the key club

[basicmadman]

eazay!

[dulaone]

god these fools knew how 2 sample...this was way b4 madlib.

[donsamuell]

Silkworm a.k.a. King Britt Baby.... Yo... Mad is SICK but the original rare grooves samplers were cats like Ced Gee, Prince Paul, Diamond D, Tip, Large Pro & of course Prem & Pete Rock... Madlib has just kept the tradition alive.

[dulaone]

Yes i hear u fam.

One of my top favorite crate diggers is of course Marly Marl

[YungPinero]

If you gonna throw Tip/Large Pro/Prem & Pete Rock 'n there you gotta throw in the legendary Dilla my man.

He was sampling the rare grooves way back when, side by side with Tip when he wasn't even getting the recognition for it and it was going under The Ummah flag.

[donsamuell]

@YungPinero No doubt... I was talkin really right up until Jaydee/Dilla... The guys that are sorta forgotten now. Dilla has kinna blown up since he passed.

[JohnnyDreamboat]

@donsamuell they all do.

[djfakt]

@donsamuell How about learning how to actually PLAY AN INSTRUMENT SO YOU CAN C R E A T E THE MUSIC YOURSELF? Oh, I know why, because it takes YEARS to learn an instrument but weeks to learn a sampler. GENIUS!!!

I'll NEVER go back to using a sampler...

[donsamuell]

@djfakt 1st off I don't know why ur comin @ me like that... It's all love over here. 2nd I never compared these guys to any other musicians. 3rd most of these producers can actually play instr. 4thly I'm actually learning how to play bass 5thly Hip-hop is how I got into Freddie Hubbard, Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd, Curtis, Marvin the JBs etc. Do you feel such a need to feel superior to others that you slag some random person showing his love for something???

[art9schw]

@djfakt I don't know why you hate on samplers. I hope you like acting superior, now apologize to all the great hip hop producers of the last 30 years, many of which have more knowledge of music and music theory than you'll ever hope to.

[rystarforlife]

@djfakt Hi I bet you can play instruments pretty good but I also bet your

skill level is no where close to the past greats... So why not let there music survive through out all time.. rather if it's through just playing their albums or somebody bringing it back to life through samples???

[7Beyonder]

@djfakt ...to A POINT I AGREE.....but its a new age....to learn a instrument is hard and takes years of practice...trust me, Im a keyboard player.....

But if the music is there, and you can make something out of it....y not sample? iSNT the whole art of being creative....taking something known and making use of it in new ways?

If you truly know art, you know nothing is original....everything has its connections to something already made.

[suavecakes]

the way Ladybug says "for sure" makes me melt a little

<3

[silentstorm2aalt]

Genius combination of hip hop and jazz

[zacatetas]

looks like michael strahan's older brother

[1japoet]

Lmfao!!

[UJMA79]

Bill Cosby was a song writer back in the 70's? Get out of my Life, Woman.

[rj0622]

[ppirTnTuo]

they were rappn about. their voices go with the funky sound their spittn ova. that groovy ass funk

that relaxes ya mind.

[asavagemike]

I still bump this track w/the headphones on the Metro at least once a week.

[hiphopcracy]

sounds like a ROOTS beat

[moderadonna]

Nah, its not the roots. This particular beat is real old school. I'm trying to figure out what song it is from. I know it was a group in the mid 70's.

[TurnerBeats]

if your trying to figure out the sample, it is Bill Cosby- Get out of my life, Woman.

[moderadonna]

I found it....that sample is actually from fusion pioneer Bob James from a song Blue lick. It occurs at 4:23 in the song.

[AOSMUSIC]

Nice find moderadonna.

I thought it was cool how there was a Ladybug on the actual album cover for that Bob James album.

[babyoil1]

use to play this on my earphones on the way to school. id be lookin @ the exact same shit everymorning on the freeway. wondering what the future holds. this track will make u think

[busadan01]

jjjaaaaajjjjaaa like me!!!!... a point 4that!!!

[AdamCharlton]

[Stanlos]

I can feel where she's comin' from on that

[zacatetas]

[Stanlos]

No one does it like Diggables.

[amn9009]

Yea d@s Ladybug, she looks as fine as she sounds!

[chj2]

@amn9009 WORD!!!! Did you see her video, "You Never Know It?". I kept asking myself, "Where have I seen this Sista before?" - And then after finding out who it was, I was like, "GAWWWWWWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAYUMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!". She is KILLIN' It!!!!!!!! Fine as hell, too!

[BV10707]

the girl sounds so dam sexy

[MrCbritt3]

@BV10707 Thats because she is

[MrCbritt3]

@BV10707 Yeah sexy , not WHORISH .... there's a difference. lol

[Oaklandgirlpitlover1]

This Music Is Timeless. I love it. The 1990's was an interesting decade as far as music goes. To me it seemed like a hipper version of the 1970's. The only real difference to me is We were just blessed with greater techknowledgy in the '90s.

[m60feral]

but cursed with terrible spelling apparently lol

[TOkenftw2010]

amen to that, this is def. timeless :) & oh soo chill

[busadan01]

word up!!!!

[pinkeyegasms]

This isnt that old ... u act like they recorded this in the 50s

[bigfarts101]

yo u cant create old skool like dis dis is da shit

[98SLABRIDER]

this beat is so damn retro...i love the sound on ladybug's voice..its coming from the past yet urges you to look twoard a space and time called the future...how i miss them..

[THaREEFsYT]

i wish there were rappers like this so badly man i dont know when i listen to this stuff i just chill out im not angry im not thinking about money or women problems

crazy

[djfakt]

@THaREEFsYT Now if you'd only spent more time learning how to properly put together a paragraph you would have it made! Don't worry, you'll learn about commas in the second-grade!

[THaREEFsYT]

@djfakt i type the way i want to its you tube for crying out loud if i dont really care if you think i can type or not i dont have to impress any one on here

[jyhit]

@THaREEFsYT AMEN TO THAT!

[nathaliagriff]

@THaREEFsYT u just got to look for them, good or bad all the musicans today are doing their thing

[Shinitkun]

beautiful beat. It makes my head bounce to the beat automatically.

[weppskilla]

Dope Ass Joint, Love This Jam!!!!!

[seedaripper1973]

[nunyobiz6]

[freepizzaforlife]

[iamMecca777]

Nice, Paradigm - my favorite group and favorite writer, I miss them! And Octavia Butler was one of the greatest scribes; I've read all of her works repeatedly! Rest easy, O.B.!

[busadan01]

[jayt]

[Bloodsport1]

sci fi writer

[StoicTwo]

7's up!

-Stosa!

[nemesis700]

lol every video i watch uve already commented on...

[jdog6]

s thin better than rollen one up n chillen to a dope sound...90s were the shit fo sho

[nevago]

music just doesn't get much better than this HOLLA!

[DarthLaber]

This was when music was music, time and effort was put into the lyrics. They werent chasing the paper. Always refreshing to revisit hip hop in its finest form

[agran165]

yes!!, nowadays rappers join this business for all the wrong reasons.. Digable, tribe, de la soul werent afraid of putting their TRUE thoughts in music. In my mind a few loyal fans are better than millions of fans who stop liking the song after its off top 20 or whatever it is

REAL HIPHOP for life!!!

[vmastha]

Speak the Truth!

[busadan01]

word.up..brother,,

[RetardedPeopleLegion]

Hip Hop i mean rap nowadays is just like the sell of crack. NIGGERS(ignorance) will just use it as another way to make money. Before it was NIGGAS(Intelligence and Power) making music.

[Stanlos]

Why is it that when I look at how we use "nigga" I really cannot see how we haven't simply bought into what we were sold?

[framil54]

agree with all of you..this is the purest form of hip hop bc not only was the music good..but these were real artists that spoke from their hearts and not for the money...nowadays you have to look for real music...check out the main video on my page..up and coming hip hop/jazz band called ArtOfficial..your welcome!

[Mhaza]

@DarthLaber wise words i have to agree

[CSIracing]

Damn I love Ladybug Mecca, chills ran down my spine when she said Emulate, and she damn cute too even today. 90's hip hop is immortal, the rest is dead.

[hiphoptube14]

dnt forget 80s bro...thats were it all started wit rakim and shit....but yea 90s cant be touched. DIGABLE!!!!!!!

[bobway6]

Ladybug Mecca has one of the most sexiest and chill voices i have heard..

this song is just to good man..it's so funkaaaaay

[reak7835]

yeah she does have a nice voice

[druckman]

Every 5 years that passes by this track sounds 10x as good. And it was amazin back then.. One of the best hip-hop albums of all time.  So underrated in its day.

[rpcollins]

you said it. nothing compares to this, years later. best rap album you've never heard.

[s3kshun8music]

Yo I used to bang this shit when I was in Austin . . . dopest summer ever . . .

[iheartrealhiphop]

lovin' it

[SparringKite]

so smooth. this is one of those songs that pretty much anyone can just sway their heads at. haha.

[mildseven2006]

This was one of the best hip hop albums ever. It's a shame this didn't blow up in terms of sales.

[WoWanate]

funkkkay

[chart3]

i haven't heard this in a very long time. thanks.

[poeticpisces2007]

along with Black Moons' "Buck Em'Down" remix version which sampled Donald Byrd's "Wind Parade", to this day are two of my most influential Hip Hop classics, they don't make good shit like this anymore.

[poeticpisces2007]

I think it was '94 or '95 when i first heard this song, and I almost came on myself, this track alone made me buy "Blowout Comb". it's one of the most melodic, inspiring Hip Hop cuts I've ever heard in my life, they used to play this on 89.3 WPFW, an independent/public radio station in Washington, DC. which was the only station that wouldn't play commercial crap around that time, they would let songs play uncensored every Friday night, and a wide variety of intelligent music, this
