Placebo - Inner city blues

[stickittoya1981]

shitty vocals.  Marvin was much better, fuck you.

[65emkay]

EVER HEARD OF DON PULLEN? WELL YOU ALL BETTER GET HOLD OF HIS VERSION OF "INNER CITY BLUES" ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE "LIVE AT THE VANGUARD" LP IS ULTRARARE, NO STUDIO VERSION WAS EVER RECORDED... MAYBE IT'S BEEN REISSUED ON CD, CERTAINLY BETTER THAN THIS ONE, AND FUNKIER THAN MARVIN'S URBAN APPROACH, HAPPY '12 ;-)

[limzero1992]

this album is top of the top

[lafairweath3]

madlib killed tha smaple at the end

[TommyVF]

The cover of the album looks really modern! Awesome band!

[13Y12]

The Mayfield Four version is stunning. check it out :) still love placebo tho XD

[SUSONEgcc]

This cover is smooth, I'm definitely feeling it. It brings a more relaxed tone to a powerful song. Good looks for the upload.

[Tbonetardis]

This tune will always be associated with Gill Scott Heron for me. Marvin Gaye's (and this, which is quite faithful) is more haunting...

[ALfaDuB101]

this is good, marvins is pure class, but for me gil scott-heron version is pure genius.

[scriptfliper]

@MrDjKaaz MaSeoLeBron just owned you!!!!

[AndPlus]

If I could have this music with Marvin's voice I would the ultimate version of this amazing song

[BennyBrickzBlonco]

Marvin's Version Is Better!!! Plus Marvin Wrote The Song.

[ZakiTemple]

ok, wrong placebo :P

[TheOshmike]

Kanye West uses this for the beginning of flashing lights

[izzyheredia786]

@TheOshmike what part? 

[PtakMC]

Coś pięknego.. Poezja.. : )

[MaSeoLeBron]

Love this version! Madlib is a genius!

[ANTICHRISTisFunny]

@MaSeoLeBron When did madlib use this as a sample?

[MaSeoLeBron]

@ANTICHRISTisFunny

For gangstarrs just to get a rep remix! Listen at 4:35

[MrDJKaaz]

@MaSeoLeBron wrong

[MaSeoLeBron]

@MrDJKaaz

I'm obviously right.

[MrDJKaaz]

@MaSeoLeBron bruh the sample is Jean-Jacques Perrey - E.V.A. look it up

[MaSeoLeBron]

@MrDJKaaz

I know that the original just to get a rep samples eva. But i'm talking about the remix, try to understand me!!

[MrDJKaaz]

@MaSeoLeBron bruhh!!! there is no remix its just an alternate version and it sounds just like the original but a lil different if u was really into gang starr u would know that

[MaSeoLeBron]

@MrDJKaaz

Fuck you! Just enter "Gangstarr Just 2 get a rep madlib remix" and you'll see that i am totally right!

[Tizzelaar]

Gil Scott Heron's Version is the best one!

[nubient]

This album costs a packet if u can find it.....but there is great compilation on Counterpoint with this track and lots more

[svmd2]

This one is good but not really my style

The Mayfield Four did this song to that one i think is better:D

If you like rock music

[glompify]

Wrong Placebo... *clicks 'x' button*

[mostchill]

Marvin's version is the mother, this is the European daughter...timeless...

[violetninja]

Here I was thinking this is the other placebo.....now apparently there's two bands called Placebo that I like. =D

[nubient]

@violetninja this one is much better

[violetninja]

@nubient Mmmmm, I wouldn't say that. They are way too different from each other to compare. But I like alot of different stuff anyways.

[1000bouddhas]

that really reminds me of Tv on the Radio... especially the octave dubbed voices...

[CherryTripping]

o wow... i was gettin ready for the other placebo to murder this track... but this is good.. o.O

i didnt know there was another group called placebo apart from the band..

[DoubleLwithWARZONE]

so ahead of their time

[v1r2l]

hmm, do some research before calling people names - this is another (earlier) group also called placebo..

[xymoxdy]

my bad

[blanoz]

this is Marc Moulin...placebo sessions iz the name.From Belgium. One of the best.

[NestorV]

Wow, this is actually pretty good.

[logikorganik]

Them HI-HATS are Smokin huh??! ~ Bomber

[Eurobubble70]

a genius covering an other genius

[mcultra]

this is nice.

for the loop diggers (diggas), it sounds like Madlib used portions of this song in his remix of Gang Starr's 'Just to Get a Rep'.

[bdMusicProduction]

At least I know I am on the right path to sample heaven! lol ;-p

[msteras]

this is the shi+_

[813mrgoodwine206]

lets just say that placebo did a great job in their own right. the instrumentation is eclectic enough to make it their own, around 430 it defines it even more as different.

[Fusselche]

well, its not our Brian steve and stef placebo :)

[blaxwax]

it IS the original placebo!!!!!!!!!!

[bozackmorris]

yeah as great as this is,

it's not marvin's version...

amazing regardless!

[eamcas67]

This is such an incredible song it is hard to f*** up . I don't think I have ever heard a bad version and that includes my missus singing in the shower.

[molinoti]

really good version but nobody can do it better than marvin

[funkee10]

what about Grover Washington's version? :)

[lagtastik7]

incrediblecHiler your the BEST!!!

[djmrbrown00]

better than marvin gaye's verstion???????? come on let's not get carried away!!!!

[PierrotTheClown88]

it is better in all the ways if you realy fell pasion of placebo.

[callmevegas]

awesome... i even like the little pops picked up when recording the lp... i can see the record spinning now, through the smoke from the incense...

[Bacon4464]

I can't believe I haven't discovered Placebo until today...this track is amazing.

[perfhulm]

amazing, magic, sensational, sensational...

[baronsko]

A tribe called quest sampled this song I think on their first album.

[WIVAH]

They sampled the Reuben Wilson version

[DustTheFirst]

Reuben Wilson man...Hands down!

But Moulin holds it down too

[Bcrawshaw]

Marc Moulin is so nice on the keys!

[zoodden]

Nine times out of ten i prefer this version.

Such a dope version. The vocals are top notch.

[Ballack81]

marvin gaye's version is much better..... this is good don't get me wrong but marvin's version is just absolutely amazing.....

[incrediblecHiller]

You're right. And not. I think it really depends on your mood. Sometimes i prefer Marvins Version, sometimes this nice cover.

An amazing song anyways...

[philllSPEC]

@incrediblecHiller well put

[Mat2001uk]

@incrediblecHiller All I know is that it is 5am and I am feeling this (first time hearing). Thanks for putting it up man.

[lekkerereet]

@Ballack81 joe cocker's version of it is also good
