[kuriosity89]

I really love how Apollo Brown flipped this sample! I think I still prefer how Kanye did it for Common's "The People", just because he chopped it up more and arranged it in ways to make it feel richer yet still grounded, but this is still brilliant in its own right.

[hjlphilp]

@kuriosity89 wrong song bro, that was gil scott hereon - home is where the hatred is

[kuriosity89]

@hjlphilp No, that was sampled for My Way Home which was performed by Common, and was on Kanye's album. 'The People' was produced by Kanye (sampling 'We Almost Lost Detroit'), and was on Common's album. You've got them mixed up lol.

[ESOTERIC306]

cheack out the left gas mask apollow brown has the sickest beats on it

[WildKillerFox]

@ESOTERIC306 gas leaks too, its only a 3 song EP but the left is awesome!

[ThaSoulBrotha]

beautiful



[DDeDokter]

This beat is hard to remake. Not gonna try again, I still have to get myself together for my next attempt lol.

[niguh2]

Man..this Apollo Brow cat is NICE!!!!! im pissed at myself for not knowin bout him sooner!!!!!

[LogicKidroy]

Sorry that you couldn't stay in the studio longer Dilla... we won't stop listening..

[JonneyeTV]

dope Gil Scott Heron sample

[thegreeniydbandit]

YeS

[barsfromsoul]

haha my producer used the same sample for some joint he produced for my group this is dope dough.. bicallday.bandcamp.com

[Marcusw224]

Im sorry can someone remind me when Dilla sampled "We Almost Lost Detroit" by Gil Scott Heron? I know of the sample on the Black Starr album, and Common's Finding Forever, but Im not sure I'm familiar with the song where Dilla sampled it.

[scnupe7]

@Marcusw224 uhh, I think you are missing the point. Dilla is from Detroit, as is Apollo.

[madvillain6184]

This beat has been used a lot recently. I still prefer MF DOOM's - Camphor or Gil Scoot Heron's - We Almost Lost Detroit, but this ish dope, he took it in a whole 'nother direction. Talent no doubt!

[KwentEss]

@madvillain6184 Yeah, DOOM freaked this sample!

[edddmund]

@madvillain6184

the gil scott heron track is the original sample..

[wagz0216]

@madvillain6184 flylo sampled it as well for sangria spin cycles

[bobbybluntbrown]

damm that was dope 

[KeenanMiltonforeverg]

i wish it was longer, such a rediculous beat. The entire skilled trade album is amazing and the reset is uncomparible to anything best of 2010 by far

[Az442]

Gil Scott Heron's version is untouchable but Dilla excels all the same

[mellomusicgroup]

great track

[dwadefan4lyfe2]

G.O.A.T. of beat making

[cradleofjohannes]

i dont know...this versioin just doesn't do it to me =/

[chichine59]

Best version is Kanye west, even I prefer producers like Jdilla, Madlib, ...

[REALHIPH0PHEAD]

I sampeld this too ;D

But my version sucks..

R.I.P. Dilla...

[ghost4doom]

mf doom sampled this too

[kingsoems]
