[PimpJSC]

[theblazerkid956]

sounds like RZA produced this

[jnorth]

Why is everything sampled now Dilla inspired?

[AgileMuffin]

@jnorth cuz he died. thats how the music buisness works when someone known dies thier legends no matter how good or bad .

[DJjNo1]

@jnorth i think everyones looking for a way to evolve...

[fusionelements]

@jnorth EXACTLY. Everyone always says to me, "I can hear the dilla influences in your music." I don't even listen to J dilla. lol

[papertigertrap]

PBF

[shmit1]

well said

[DiGgOr69]

Awesome simply awesome 8]

[TheXcercist]

Sounding like something straight outta donuts. Onra's got crazy ears for samples.

[beastnstuff]

hell yea. the dude went to vietnam and flipped old records from there. that's dedication

[madadvice]

@beastnstuff You should check out BK-One's "Radio Do Canibal" album on Rhymesayers Entertainment, dude traveled to Brazil to dig through Brazilian soul. Amazing shit.

[danielinsporto]

@beastnstuff actually, Onra's grandparents are Vietnamese.. he was in the country to reconnect to his roots, and brought dozens of records back with him to France.

[beastnstuff]

@danielinsporto lol you just reworded what i said...

[danielinsporto]

@beastnstuff not really, you said he went to vietnam to buy old records. i said he went to visit his grandparent's country and bought records while he was there.

whatever, i was just trying to be informative

[beastnstuff]

@danielinsporto i said he went there "and" flipped old record. not "to" the difference is the whole reason for this. just read what i said so this can end

[danielinsporto]

@beastnstuff you didnt mention the fact that he's got Vietnamese ancestry and thats why he was there in the first place. i just added some information i thought people might want to know.

i dont understand why you're arguing with me.

[PerhapsToast2]

@danielinsporto YA'LL STOP ARGUING AND START PREPARING FOR CHINOISERIES VOL 2

[TheGoodChap]

@beastnstuff Its what makes him stand out so well! Onra is a genius.

[soneoo]

[EOJARJARBINX]

[dougzmk1]

onra is french and definitly a guy!

[FIREGODX]

courtesy of muzzy, kieran, u kno wat i mean u leprecaun bastard lol.

[akumazblade]

instead of finding out wether he's a guy or not (yes he's a guy..arnaud is his real name ARNO ----ONRA) nice chap by the way...try to find where the sample comes from! anybody has an answer is most welcome..Iv'e been searching for ages..

60s..early 70s..asian pop..vietnam, china,malaysia or even singapore..dont know where he took it...

thanks again

[PerhapsToast2]

the only person who knows where they are from, is the man himself. even he may have lost them because they are probably super old and rare.

[MrBakerMovement]

@PerhapsToast2 no chance he's lost them, has anyone tried getting in touch with him and just asking?! sometimes the simplest way is the right way!

[buenos15]

@akumazblade legend has it his grandpearents are vietnamese, he was on a trip to visit them and bought 30-odd albums while he was there and created this album. one of my absolute favourites

[impowow]

@akumazblade My sources have been able to narrow it down to vietnam.

[keki2012]
