The Coup: Hip 2 Tha Skeme

[CommunieNetwork]

JOE "SAMPLE" how ironic

[colenbrak]

@CommunieNetwork i think you mean, "how fitting"

[Gambinotubee]

First who tooked sample is De La Soul WRMS' Dedication to the Bitty, thab Africa's Inside Me by Arrested Development , Hip 2 the Skeme by The Coup, A Day Wit the Homiez by 1st Down ... and than best version did Pacs producer.

And after that Pac make history.

[thekhalo]

Lessons we can learn from this:

1. Fathers are important in the lives of children.

2. Friends can misguide your kids.

3. We cannot as a people promote destructive behavior. Our kids take that and act it out.

4. This is a story about our children not about tupac. But more so this is a story about us as parents and how our kids can suffer while we helplessly watch.

5. There are a thousand Tupacs who die every day. Tupac was just lucky to have been blessed with a talent and be in America.

[SupernalOne]

@thekhalo

Well put, and I agree completely. Children need their fathers as much as their mothers, in a different but equally essential way.

[converseshoeboy]

also sampled by TQ - Westside

[BayGame1]

Aww man i love this song now. i heard pacs sampled version but now i like this one too.

[callumbrowns]

[insertusernamehere51]

I find it funny that 2pac sampled a guy called joe sample

[BayGame1]

@insertusernamehere51 Haha :D

[djdaisentertainment]

I like to put this on headphones and close my eyes at 1:41.

[ezearl]

Jay Dee Killed This Sample The Best In My Opinion, Look Up A Day Wit The Homies.

[CreativiDe992]

I love how 2Pac sampled this song into the tone for 'Dear Mama' Fits perfectly

[MegaPrettyboyswag23]

nice



[andydotorg]

Funny how the slide show doesn't mention the actual players/writers/musicians that created this gem.

[TheWorldinProgress]

@andydotorg You daaaaammmmnnnnn right!! Kind of a stupid thing to do...

[RealDefentertainment]

@andydotorg it does in the tags hence t uploader knows who it is by

[jideasmusic]

R.I.P Pac

[ampsamp]

[QMOHAMMED]

tupac sampled this beat for his song called dear mama

[tomp2008]

now search for the song "Sadie" by The Spinners and play it in another window at the same time and you got yourself a 2pac song with lyrics!

[iancurtis86]

1st Down - A Day Wit The Homiez

[sambo07]

I can't seem to find chords for this song anywhere online, so I figured I'd post them myself -

Main verse: Am7 Bbmaj7 Gmaj7  Dm7 Am7 Bbmaj7 Gmaj7 Fmaj

Bridge: F7 Ebmaj Dm7 and so on...

Hope this helps anyone who wants to play this beautiful song. Or be like Tupac...

[DetectiveBlacksmith]

Also sampled by JJ Brown for Louis Logic's "Idiot Gear"!

[Dzoni73]

dear mama was produced by Tony Pizarro and johnny j, and they played it live on instruments

[DZA9mm]

I like how dilla sampled it ..

[domwhitingswfc]

also sampled in arrested development -africas inside me

[crapsk8r]

@domwhitingswfc sampled by lots of guys

[RealspitHiphop604]

amazing

[bowwow5898]

this sucks

[boomboi1990]

im glad 2pac picked dis beat to sample for "Dear Mama". thanks homie. r.i.p

[crapsk8r]

@StiqueJade right

[kolisionn]

@StiqueJade lol what? johnny j didnt even produce the track

[Jimmy1992Bonez]

@StiqueJade Considering Johnny J Didn't even make the track I Highly doubt that, plus there's the fact that 2Pac made many tracks by himself, 16 on Deathrow, Why U Turn on Me, you have no way of knowing that he didn't choose the sample his self, Ice cube chose the Isley brothers sample for It Was a Good Day DJ Pooh then fixed it up for him, don't give out false information you just make yourself look like a Jackass

[LatinPercussion]

Ah Yea !

True Hip Hop heads will never 4get this sampled in

BEST LYRICS EVER

[LMMidwestKid]

Sped up, been looking for the original sample for a while:

Louis Logic just rapped over the beat which sampled this: the producer of the beat who sampled this is actually J.J. Brown though vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

[CitoSince93]

This is also sampled by Louis Logic in Idoit Gear

but overall dope ass song

[durringtonatlive]

i had 2 pause this, roll a joint and start it again!

[thekhalo]

As with most things in life rap has gone through a changes since 80s. Nonetheless as an art form it is still in its caveman stages. Rappers are reacting to life with the fight or flight mindset.Tupac had to die to take a rest from the shallowness of us. Along with Marvin, Martin,Michael and Malcolm.We missed our chance to raise a son to enlighten us(he tried).All he needed was father or a figure for that matter and what do we go and do? Give him Hennesy to ease his pain. Come on black people...

[DIVISIONINCISION]

The people who were in a position to help Tupac didn't listen.

The warning signs were there.

He was crying out for help in his music, repeatedly.

It was all there, but sadly, it's all now in retrospect as no one helped.

Tupac's mom raised him to be fatalistic and that's how he lived and died.

What I don't understand is how he knew he was going to die that young.

How could anyone know they would die that young and live with that?

[khalidbahrain]

with a name like Joe Sample, an album called 'Sample This' and music as beautiful as this, it was just begging to be sampled..

[dcephus87]

look up 2pac jail interview he said that lack of passion statement in that for proof.I mean eventually somebody raw will cut through that will hold people attention that studied soul,rap, and funk and watch everybody follow@juswolf22

[frikie94]

you are nobody til somebody kills you

[crapsk8r]

ugly truth my frieend

[aproneship]

@crapsk8r

i don't wanna die!

[bhuj89]

louis logic also took a part of it

[AnoukaKC]

sounds like black church music

[ukmale164]

never heard the original, such a nice tune, no wonder Tupac used it for the backing dedication to his mother.

R.I.P Tupac Amaru Shakur

[zebbedi]

Tupac didn't use it. Tony Pizarro the producer did.

[Troublesome2008]

Lighting a blunt for the homie Pac right now... You ain't dead yet!

[PsYcHoNiKkA]

you ever never appreciated until you are dead.

fact.

[crapsk8r]

yeah that is true same thing is happening for mj 2. So ur right

[ukmale164]

Sad but true.

Ppl only appreciate something when its gone.

[Asgardt]

@crapsk8r Mj was appreciated in life aswell...

[dopeywonder]

respect to Pac, also- I dont see credit given to the artist thats song this is- Joe Sample- gotta give it up this is his groove- i love the pics of Pac over Joe Samples great song- very well done- safe

[DIVISIONINCISION]

You're right.

Jazz laid the foundation for the best samples.

I wish I knew whether it was Pac's idea to use this for "Dear Mama" or the producer.

I'd imagine Pac would choose something like this.

Genius.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

People didn't appreciate Pac while he was alive....

In some ways, he was Rap's sacrifical lamb....

It wasn't until his death that people realized how special some talents are.

Pac was right about one thing.

He said after his death, Rap would die a slow death.........people like 50 Cent and Eminem have proved that out.

Prophetic 'till the end.

Pac.

[juswolf22]

pac really did predict that rap would die a slow death?

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Yes.

It was in an interview before his death.

You'll have to search for it.

He basically said that, "After I die, the rap game will be over, the next guy who comes after me will bring down the game and it will be over"..........

........and he was right.

50 Cent was the first of the new wave of pop-rappers who began to take over.

That was the end.....

Eminem didn't help........

[juswolf22]

Thats crazy he predicted that the rap game is dying....i mean creative wise, but theirs still good artist out there that dont get the play they deserve.....hip hop has grown though to be the most popular music genre, but it didnt take the right direction in my eyes.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Hip-Hop and Rap aren't necessarily the same.

You can count R&B as part of Hip-Hop, but it's not Rap.

Rap Music is a separate art form and Pac knew that. The commercial artists get the most hype, yet are rarely the most talented.

Unless you are projecting an image that "White America" thinks will sell mainstream, you won't get much promotion.

I think Tupac was the one of the only rappers who could interject his message in to his music without watering it down like so many others.

[elementz1986]

@ DIVISIONCISION

Hip Hop and Rap originally were used synonymously for the music the Furious 5, Sugarhill Gang and all those pioneers were making back in the day but "Hip Hop" is now generally perceived as being more a more inclusive tag. The "official" definition of hip hop is the culture surrounding rap music which is often described as the "four elements" (MCing (rapping), DJing, Breakdancing and Graffiti Writing)) but in 2009 is obviously even more inclusive.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

They're not synonymous.....

Even Pac said that.....

Hip-Hop is a generic term refering to black music in a culture sense.

Rap music is compartmentalized as a genre.....

Sure there are cross-overs, but no one will confuse Ice Cube with Bel Biv Devoe....

They're not the same at all.

I have never considered Hip-Hop and Rap the same thing and most rappers don't either.......regardless of what they call it.

"The Rap Game" is what it is.

[elementz1986]

Yes, well, they are not synonymous anymore. I was just saying that the word "hip hop" was invented in the late 70's as a tag for the routines MC's were chatting over breakbeats (hip hop hippity to the hip hip hop ya don't stop, etc.) and came about exactly the same time as rap. I was just giving the origins because I have studied the history of rap going back to Kool Herc and Coke La Rock and all them. As you you said "Hip Hop" is now a culture. Rap is the music (MCing).

[maskone909]

who gives a fuck what "they" call it. music is music and tupac would have called bel biv devoe some mark ass niggas.

[dcephus87]

No! he didn't say it like that he said "Oh you don't wanna see this next dude that come out...Take me out the rap game? They don't care they ain't gon't be as passionate" he's right! ain't nobody passionate for BLACKS and our music anymore. Acting hard is played out. The problem with music now is that its not black no more.These guys either wanna be the hardest on the block or they wanna go pop and forget about us.But trust when that black music come back its gonna sell.

[juswolf22]

yeah that is so true....all these rappers care about is self now of days, the whole black culture period is like that.....we use to be so much closer back in the day, but the youth is just so sloppy w/ it now of days......honestly if another rap does come up talkin about the blacks, hes just going to go under the radar like mos def.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Tupac used the "thug" persona to sell records but he was an intelligent guy.

It's a shame that people didn't know him, but he didn't want everyone to know his vulnerable side.

Even Jada Pinkett said that Pac never "believed that people wanted to see the good in him"...........that they always saw him as a thug so he didn't dissapoint them.

Pac gave people what they wanted.

That is why is he a matryr.

But the musical legacy he left is genius.

[DIVISIONINCISION]

Pac was referring to the "Pop-Music" trend that was starting with Puffy and BIG and continued with Jay-Z and now 50 Cent and Eminem.

Pac knew what the future held and that's probably why he didn't mind dying.

It all went downhill after '97.

It amazes me that Pac was so at ease with death.

[philkav1989]

Is it just me or does pac look like posdnous (coincidentally enough) at 0:40 ?

[crapsk8r]

yeah lil bit cuz of the glasses

[Vinsanity15814]

y'all don't forget the late great J Dilla sampled this for "A Day Wit the Homiez" with Phat Kat when they were known as the duo 1st Down... R.I.P. Dilla Dawg
