Body Heat- Quincy Jones

[seneferu5]

At least Dr. Dre has some musical ability and knowledge, especially when it come to the Akai MPC. What about P-Diddy calling himself an artist and producer and cannot play or sing anything?

[iris0302]

MASTER'S WORK. TIMELESS.

[ogb4realmusic]

The Song of life

[neofunkyman1]

Typical Leon Ware feel to the music

[bloodimperium]

@olskooldannib030 don't forget Mobb deep temperature's rising ;)

[olskooldannib030]

@bloodimperium Yea the original vinyl version....but it's not on the The Infamous album. Probably only the chorus still but actually the album version is sampled by Patrice Rushen "Where There Is Love".....come on now..lol!

[pattifanalwayz]

well Q is the man in his day just like jimmy jam and terry lewis

[ValonBlink]

thumbs up if you are here from 2Pac's song how do u want it :P

[oskamadison]

Anyone peeped Das EFX' "They Want EFX" remix?

[shag112002]

W/the great David T. Walker on lead guitar.

[WoollyMonkey]

There's no good in arguing about sampling and how hip hop is lame and all that... the bottom line is that this song is incredible. I also think How Do You Want It is a great song, and tastefully uses the sample from Body Heat. So what? They're both great songs in their own rights.

[pattifanalwayz]

@WoollyMonkey well the sampeling is lame but it would be good if the youngers oned knew knew where it came for im 34 now but i know my music and my samples

[kinstube]

N!!!!CE

[callumbrowns]

nuff respect 2 mr quincy, pac version hot too.

[jabaltar84]

Quincy Jones + Leon Ware + Billy Preston = Sooooul Fiiiiya

[MrShakbo]

Dr Dre makes beats, most of his "hits" are largely derived from pre-existing compositions. Quincy Jones is a producer who can read, write and play music. If you yell at Quincy he can tell you what key its in. When a door squeaks he can call out the exact pitch. Not taking anything away from Dre, he is exquisite at re making songs in his own image but he is light years away from an accomplished musician like "The Q."

[ChronicGod420]

@MrShakbo Actually Johny "J' produced this for Mr. Shakur. And 90% of his beats are original.

[MrShakbo]

@ChronicGod420 Produced is a rather strong word. Derivative composition is more appropriate.

[ChronicGod420]

@MrShakbo After changing the tempo and re-arranging some of the orchestration. The beat isn't to similar. Its not that different either tho.

[frederickn2011]

@MrShakbo Damn right!

[vindoumo]

@MrShakbo Aint that the tooth!!?

[mechanicalpuddinfoxx]

@MrShakbo not really, dre really sample songs that much

[MsReeReeChiq]

Tupac has plenty of videos. Comment about How do you want it? on the video for How do you want it? Many people enjoy this original track and aren't interested in "How do you want it? Let's just focus on Quincy and Leon Ware. This is a very masculine love song that talks about making love - not just sex.

[erika2012vsu]

I love the Chaka Khan one as well

[taichifist]

Not only the Vocals speak but, listen and hear the Instruments Speak!! :^D

[sunshinelikesmusic]

You know what's hot....is that Tupac thought this track was ALL THAT, and selected it to lay down his excellent talent during his music-inspired time here on earth. We benefit from Tupac, Quincy Jones, and so many more. Get it!!!!! I love music, and this is FIYAH!! Back in that day. Lots of artists were so powerful during this time ...listen to Willie Hutch!!!

[kidsareoverrated]

fesu



[MEDASI7211]

stop mentioning 2 pac he was as good as the music he stoled to rap OVER!! QUINCY ASSEMBLED THE MUSICIANS, THE ORCHESTRA AND WROTE THE FUCKIN' MUSIC. TUPAC GOT A DJ AND WROTE FUCKIN POEM AND YOU DODOS GIVE HIM THE CREDIT. I HAAAATE THE RAP GENRE - FOR LAZY PEOPLE!!

[mitchel1611]

@MEDASI7211

You obviously dont know a shit about hiphop.

[Mikespyke]

@MEDASI7211 rap is one of the only way young kids today can connect with great muisc of the past, like QJ!!!! i'm pretty young born in the 90s and i woulda never discovered some great R&B music of the 60s to 70s without great producers sampling their work. DR. DRE for example sample Donny Hathaway among other rap heavyweights

[TheOsk1e]

@MEDASI7211

DR.DRE was not a DJ jackass! He gas more creativity in a toe nail than 7 generations of your family.

[DirtyODB]

@TheOsk1e actually dre was dj before NWA..

[ExtentRecordings1]

@DirtyODB way before too ;)

[MFmaxx]

Still a great song

[Gangstazila]

i told a girl "can i make the bed warm without sheets" and she said "ooh body heat...." lol

[PabzGLRP]

Its funny that both 2Pac and Mobb Deep used this beat for their earlier tracks, and yet they hated each other's music. Ironic how their usage of this track as a sample was mutual.

[ac2and4]

@PabzGLRP that was one of the reasons why pac attacked mobb deep,the east coast,at that time,which includes a variety of other artists including nas and jay -z, were bitin' west coast style musically and lyrically

[MercOhra]

@PabzGLRP temperature rising... fav mobb song ever :)

[GHOSTFACE323]

@PabzGLRP ya tupac didnt produce music though so he had nothing to do with the beat.

[drell29]

@GHOSTFACE323 tupac did produced music

[theMidNiteXpress]

@drell29 you said produced music very easy,prod music is the hardest thing on earth man

[superduperboyx]

How do you want it

How do you feel

Comin' up as a Nigga in tha cash game

Livin' in tha fast lane

i'm for real

[robertbutler714]

you guys talking about samplingand how all it is is sampling from the truly talented artists is the most ironic thing because Quincy Jones himself sampled songs when he was producing Michael Jackson's music. Off The Wall sampled Boogie Nights by Heatwave, Baby Be Mine sampled Give Me Your Love by Sylvia Striplin, PYT sampled She's a Bad Mamma Jamma by Carl Carlton. Sampling is just something people do in music, it has nothing to do with lack of talent.

[MsReeReeChiq]

@robertbutler714 You can barely recognize Quincy's sampling. The people you are defending are too lazy to even be creative enough to make it their own. You still know it's the original song.

[MsReeReeChiq]

@robertbutler714 Further, if those that you defend had so much talent, why don't they use it to create their own original music or, at least, take a sample and do something completely different than the original artist? I'm not completely against sampling, but I am against people who act like they can't acknowledge an original artist. I hate when people use an original instrumental track of another artist and sing or rap whatever tired song they make up.

[robertbutler714]

@MsReeReeChiq no producer who samples has acted like they created some completely different shit, and quincy's sampling is pretty recognizable. there are also plenty of rap song samples that are very creatively used, and the beat ends up being pretty different. some, however, just use the same exact beat, such as "Big Poppa" by Biggie Smalls using ""Between the Sheets" by the Isley Brothers, or "Today was a Good Day" by Ice Cube using "Footsteps in the Dark" by the Isley Brothers.

[robertbutler714]

@MsReeReeChiq most samples used for rap beats use very small parts of the original song

[33guerilla]

1 music invalid don't like this...he better kill himself!

[DaddySweet100]

Why in the hell would someone listen to Quincey Jones' music and then start talking about Hip Hop and Gangsta Rap is way the f*^& beyond me. I don't get it, I just don't get. It's like comparing a fine French wine to rot gut bootleg wiskey from Mississipi. Rappers and Hip Hoppers for the most part sample the creative work of real artist. I am glad to have been born in the early 50s so that I could've experienced and know what true music is. There is nothing like the real thing. 

[MsReeReeChiq]

@DaddySweet100 I have been thinking the same thing! I was born in 1980, but I feel the same way. When I was in high school, many rap and hip-hop artists sampled 80's music. Many of my peers were listening to it like it for the beat. I was shocked! I'd asked, don't recognize Atomic Dog when you hear it? I started mostly listening to the solid gold soul station back then, AM 1460 and the R&B and Adult Contemporary stations down here in Baton Rouge.

[Jaycool10]

Yes Sir

[chris2o4her]

2Pac - "How Do U Want It"

[citygal226]

I think Quincy was a genius! This clip sounds like the original from the album. I was there; have the album from back in the day, and the memories to go with it!

[MsReeReeChiq]

Hooray for original artists who are truly talented and don't have to sample, WOO!

[TheFreshPeddler]

@MsReeReeChiq - you should look up the history of sampling, even the beatles did it at times. its funny how people make assumptions about sampling being talentless when they really have no idea of the amount of skill it CAN involve. sure there are idiots like swizz beats who loops holy thursday by david axelrod for lil wayne's crap lyrics but there is a complete opposite spectrum to that as well. blockhead basically samples exclusively and you cant say the man isnt extremely talented. 9th,dilla

[MsReeReeChiq]

@TheFreshPeddler I never said that all people who sampled were talentless, so you and whoever can get off of that soap box now. Let me quote my illustrious self again - verbatim: "I'm not completely against sampling, but I am against people who act like they can't acknowledge an original artist. I hate when people use an original instrumental track of another artist and sing or rap whatever tired song they make up."

[TheFreshPeddler]

@MsReeReeChiq - no need to cop an attitude princess. your illustrious self also said and i quote "Hooray for original artists who are truly talented and don't have to sample, WOO!" i dont give two shits to argue with you and i dont have the time but it doesnt take a genius to understand that statement. you can backpedal all you want. take care and get that high horse of yours some new shoes. im hitting the ignore button now

[MsReeReeChiq]

@TheFreshPeddler I meant hooray for original artists who don't have to sample! And ? What? Do you have beef with an artist who doesn't have to sample? Do you have a problem with pure originality? You are trying to conform my frame of thought to yours and is not going to happen! You have no argument because your point is moot and weak. You hitting ignore only proves that your point is Weak! I don't back down to nothing or nobody.

[MsReeReeChiq]

@TheFreshPeddler Further, My point about people who try to be dynamic enough to take a sample and make it something completely new still stands and you agreed with it even though I was talking to you! Your initial to me was the exact point I made to the other dude. In fact, you sampled my reply to the other didn't? If you gonna jump on something I say, come up with something that isn't a tired remix of what I said somebody what wasn't you.

[MsReeReeChiq]

@MsReeReeChiq Correction on the last part of my reply "If you gonna jump on something I say, come up with something that isn't a tired remix of what I said to somebody that wasn't you."

[TheFreshPeddler]

@MsReeReeChiq - i quoted you verbatim. i didnt give 2 shits to read your whole argument with the other person and i still dont. obviously your not intelligent enough to even understand the message that your first comment conveys. im done with this bullshit. word of advice though drop the fucking condescending attitude as it wont get you very far. you got way too butthurt over my first comment. im ignoring and deleting anything u reply with so take care. good luck to you and anyone around you

[MsReeReeChiq]

@TheFreshPeddler Summarizing and simplifying for simpletons who think they can flip what I say to make some jack-leg, inbred point of theirs: Hooray for original artists that don't have have to sample - I stand by that firmly. I love originality and there are plenty of artists who have their own original creations. To have beef with them is crazy. Also, I have admiration for the artist that takes a sample make a song that sounds totally different from the source of the sample.

[MsReeReeChiq]

@TheFreshPeddler So, after you read this reply, please look up the history of my first reply to you. You don't need to tell me about music, because I know music. i know there are plenty of brilliant people who sample. Daedelus is one of the best. He takes a beat or a whole song and make it so new you hardly recognize. It's original in it's own right.

[MsReeReeChiq]

Who is singing lead on this?

[QMOHAMMED]

who cares, tupac was close to johnny j, so yes tupac sampled this beat.

[mooseydeucy]

The amount of mis-information on here is appalling! LOL  Truth is, no rapper can misappropriate any of the "Q"'s masterpieces.

[tommathboy]

the big Q knows his music, puts you in the mood, whatever you are feeling, you feel better listening to his music, and this is such a classic that doesn't get the recognition it deserves

[QMOHAMMED]

tupac sampled this beat for how do you want it

[svendiamond]

@QMOHAMMED no Johnny J sampled it for Tupac to rap on it... and everyone already knows that by now... don't these people look at the previous comments? it was also sampled for Mobb Deep's Temperature's Risin'

[MrOctnig]

2pac, Geto Boys(Minds Playin Tricks On Me) & 2nd To None used this track for If You Want It(1992)

[ThePuffpaddy]

youtube puffpaddy pot song

[sodom1967]

This is so, so erotic............love it

[OlSkooLHipHop]

Mobb Deep - Temperatures Rising

[2SXC2H8]

Doesn't song anything like How Do U Want It

[SoljahofSensi]

@2SXC2H8 go back an listen to it again u crackhead...!

[jgk381]

@2SXC2H8 its a tiny sample from about :12-:15 that they used for 2pacs

[The1Goodwin]

i wish i had all the vinyl in the fuckin world why did they make CDs i mean seriously

[ekocentric]

@The1Goodwin Speak to the choir...I have a hard time babying my cds. In the day, you could put your hands all over the vinyl discs.

I still have all of my original vinyls. I.E. The Average White Band, The Beach Boys and misc. others. I gave 12 original Beatles albums that were bought when I was a little girl in the '60's away to my 25 yr old sister all in great shape.

[phunkstarfreakzoid]

The black magick that is Mr Quincey Jones.............Tunes 2 get down and slippery;-)

[deltasigmatheta4life]

Love this song!!! Quincy is the man!!!!!

[luvthesax]

This is one of my favorites! Love it. Thank you for posting.

[DaddySweet100]

This is another classic by Q. It also sounds a little like Razz A Ma Tazz by Q recored several years later.. Maybe I sound say that the two cut remind me of each.

[2rjger]

thanks this is good, Do you have everything must change from this album?

[Jaimetud]

Wow. This is like sex and pcp all in four minutes.

[Cali2VA]

He starts the song off saying "temperature's rising and it's not surprising" Mobb Deep used that as the chorus for their track "Temperature's Rising" off the Infamous album, although a female sung it. That's the only thing this song and Mobb's song have in common

[aivrsn75phila]

@Cali2VA

u r so right...song great hip hop tunes from this song

[kamelgee]

AND WHAT ABOUT 2PAC

[boomboi1990]

2pac "How Do U Want It" Run DMC feat Pete Rock and CL Smooth "Down With The King"

[obilinx1]

Where's the Mobb Deep sample?

[QueenUglyDuckling]

In case anyone was wondering....this song was also sampled for RunDmc's 1993 hit duet w/

Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Down With The King."

[anthillmob]

the main sample bassline is not Body Heat, I have the original I just can't remember it now. I believe it's a soundtrack to a play or movie.

[anthillmob]

...to the run dmc song down with the king.

[herculeshernandez]

@anthillmob yeah, it's from 'Hair'

[QueenUglyDuckling]

@anthillmob--the main sample sounds

like it came from "Body Heat" to me.

What play/movie are you saying the sample

is from? Enlighten me...

@obilinx1--this song was sampled by the

group Mobb Deep? Which Mobb Deep song

[Crunchyblackisreal]

[alexChase187]

[1956909milu]

This Beautiful randition was so hard for me to find the album/CD/Cassete, I just couldnt find it since the 70's. I had Body Heat on Cassette in 74 and someone didn' return it back to me and then I was stationed overseas/But never did I forget it and always sung it to my lady. Thank You for Posting it, the memories and the reality of the song always hit me in the heart.

[fockmeister]

[djkaseone]

Mobb Deep - Temperatures Rising

[djkaseone]

Erykah Badu - Tyrone

[briancollege]

Hmmm, how so? Is it because of the bassline intro?

[djkaseone]

Yeah, not a quite a direct beat jack, but definately inspiration

[kamesan]

"D.O.C. - Bxxxhes" would be more of a direct beat jack

[NEEASNANS]

We think Barry The Man. Soo true until we feel Quincys body heat.....

[rtp1968]
