was up funktual....big up from so cal los angeles bro....i love all 35 of your posts man!!! i just wanted to let you know Freestyle Fellowship - Sunshine Men sampled that Turtles - you showed me ... look it up my friend!!! good job man!!!
Geeeeeeez! A big thanks from old europe. I'm a german, living currently in Italy. Always a true follower of true hip hop. This is American culture at its highest. I respect that deeply and I want to thank you for putting these videos up. Respect is due!
Lee Dorsey is tooo damn funky....Love that track!! Thanks for introducing me to that!
Do you dig Jimmy McGriff? Would love to see some of his best grooves on one of your videos sometime........"Preacher's Tune" with Jimmy feat. Richard " Groove" Holmes is an awesome instrumental if you're into that funk-hammond organ vibe!
ahh geah, blow your head was used by cmw on rhymes too funky, never knew the sample, thanks for the knowledge, and is it jus me or does magnificent sancuary band sound like ghost busters? haha.
you say about the funky groove on track one, check out HIJACK the terrorist group Style wars or style warriors revenge they cut it up to bits big respect to HIJACK
hey i cant believe ive seen all your vids....i love em!! just wanna mention i havent heeard "ikes mood" or "the show is over "or playin your game baby"
and im surprised you know what im talkin about....keep up the good work !!!!
Oh my GOD FUNK!!!!! That Donny track is GOLD! Listen to the beginning and then pull out your copy of Disney's Jungle Book. Listen to the Elephant march tune and who sampled who?
I was searching for that Vid where you asked us for a donation. I didn't have the possibility to send you money back then, but things look a bit better now. Could you post that Vid again or send me your paypal-email.
wheres ur L.A love? Damn foo, you got that fire! Almost as many crates as me ;) hey, you credited berthas butt to ice cube, but another l.a rapper sampled it first(toddy tee-just say no) I went thru all ur tracks looking for the one song that Ive beveen looking for since high school back in 88. It was sampled by (rundmc-jam master jay)( malcolm mclaren-worlds famous) (LL cool J-rock the bells 2nd version) it was also in the movie "style wars". PLEASE let me know the name of that track
HA! I just found out who that was. A wrestler who raps. I stopped paying attention to wrestling after Superfly Snooka, and the Junkyard Dog retired. How bout the Mongolian Stomper?
im looking 4 the sample for comptons most wanteds growing up in the hood by the way cool show im a music head also. if you find it please share it with the world peace and b wild.
Funktuall have you done LOOKING UP TO YOU - MICHAEL WYCOFF in your top tens?
This and other examples of late 80's - 90's R&B and Soul Artist using later day classic to build they one hit wonder careers. (Sample: Its a shame - Heavy D, Ain't gonna & hurt nobody - Kid N Play)
So I really wanna see you do a top 10 of 90's Soul & R&B song that sampled.
Hopefully everyone got a chance to watch Copyrightcriminals on PBS in the last week. Pretty interesting program. I thought of you all when I watched it. Keep the digging alive.
Not sure if you got my PM but When I heard "blow your head" come on I thought it was leading to the mysterious bassline Ive been after for so long :0(
Does ANYBODY have ANY idea what record they sampled for the bassline to "daddy freddy - haul & pull 1988" & "ganja kru - super sharp shooter"?? Ive been after it for EVER!!
djprincenorway is right about JB adding the moog. The track is also available without the moog. Has "Carl Sherlock Holmes - Investigate" ever been sampled? That is a killer funky instrumental with a GREAT VOCAL CHORUS! "gotta be a heavy groove in everything I do - everything I do to be funky, from now on"
for the next video can you plz do the sample to kmds what a niggy know? i dont wanna say who the sample is by because i mght kind of spoil it just in case you use it
love watching you but please stick to the normal camera angle and stop the terrible editing..its just making me dizzy. Otherwise..great video as usual.
I bet you could make a whole top ten list just of Digable Planets samples. They diggin in da crates pretty deep. That one track is still my favorite joint and I'm not even from NY. You know the one from Blowout Comb I'm talking about. Are you slicker this year, funktual?
Oh man I knew number 3 was used by the Dust Bros! I just bought Paul's Boutique a few months ago, and I love that beat! The Chubukos are the shit. Man that is good stuff!
that The Turtles sample is mad lmao... another great video funktual 5*'s all the way... i have to say you do show people that haven't got a clue about two arts one... digging... two... sampling... i salute you sir PEACE
Yo funk!!! Track 7 in the list was also sampled overseas by England's Simon Harris (that beginning part you played) for his 1989 classic Another Monster Jam (Harris is know for the legendary Breaks Beats and Scratches collection)
Oh... another track that Track 7 was sampled by (and I happen to know this personally) Tony Scott for "That's How I'm Livin", the B-side to an obscure 1989 hip house hit 'Get Into It'
Fantastic as usual. I think I like it better when it is filmed by someone than when you used a tripod before. It adds character and the shot linking everything up is great.
Everything i do gona be funky , been used in soo many tracks , Love your shit man , such a intelliectual journey as ever , donation coming soon !!! Respect !!!
