[dojufitz]

[brittneytyvan]

Aniki - Feel Good (Original Mix)

[brittneytyvan]

lil wayne - dough is what i got

[JayGriffinblaze]

So did Portrait! In fact, the first minute has been sampled by a dozen artists across at least 3 genres!

[Kutupyildizi1]

Great, thank you...

[PerksTRC]

Tuf crew used it too.

[trane5423]

check out gramatik-still here...just gonna blow your mind

[ilsapproach]

Jay z sampled this if im not mistaken

[fresh224ful]

@ilsapproach well Jay-Z didnt sampe Just Blaze did

[rockhudsons]

Nice Video! With the stills it gives a flavour of the film. Oh yeah, The Cookie Crew sampled the intro for 'Born this way (let's dance)' in 1989!!

[lcjj7]

Mixes well with big daddy kane - on a bugged tip. heard it in a dj yoda mix, hes synched it to at the pause at 0:20 kane goes "lights, camera... action!" it fits so well

[DarrylWiseBoyzNoize]

Naughty By Nature used this in THE HOOD COMES FIRST but i dunno what they used ...anybody know?

[27hits]

im only here because of fresh prince of belair

[joiless]

Johnny Pate is just kicking all kinds of ass in this song. Probably why it gets sampled and covered so much - the best cover of this I've heard was done using violin and turntables.

[nazchowder]

@joiless hahaa!! paul dateh?

[Juline1221]

the first person i remembered who sampled this song was ras kass-rassassination

[MurderousDonky]

Stolen from Jay-Z

[firekreve2j]

@MurderousDonky it wasnt stolen from jay-z, jay-z sampled this you fucking dickhead

[MurderousDonky]

@firekreve2j It's obviously done by Jay-Z, why would he just take a song?

[firekreve2j]

@MurderousDonky dude what the fuck is wrong with you? seriously.. ok listen, type "hip hop samples" in youtube and listen to how many hip hop songs have taken samples from other old songs, you frikin blind idiot

[firekreve2j]

@MurderousDonky OR, if you actually ever bought a cd rather than download an mp3 for free, you can open Jay-Z booklet and plainly see "Sample Taken From Johnny Pate - Shaft in Africa " written inside it..

[MurderousDonky]

@firekreve2j I don't download mp3's that's illegal I jsut get them off youtube.

[TheRealBeanzThc]

@firekreve2j also there is another sample i found in jays version

[vbierry]

Okay now listen to me and listen to me closely...

Now I don't give a shit about Jay Z or the others.

Now I want you to get yourself together, to get back out there

and Play Me My Original !

[thechiefgod]

[tycolek]

[PCGanxta]

Just Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaze

[MrDeeboi33]

Ras Kass used this first on Rassasination. Stu-B-Doo slowed it down a bit.

[mustbelyrical]

im from the lower east side in manhattan ny and let me tell you this was our theme song in the early 70's to the mid 70's this the mexican by babe ruth expansions and james brown jungle groove give it up turn it loose!

[kmp3000]

Bboy anthem!

[splendisherry]

phat!

[oXPocketpimPXo]

anyone know the name of the instrument that starts at 0:10 and makes the most remembered part from these shaft pieces

(not the snare part)

[ptoutant]

Guitar with a Wah pedal

[beyo2120]

the cookie crew used this for "born this way (1988) jay-z show em what you got, digital underground gutfest "89".

[stillphil]

yeah Cookie Crew's song used the soprano sax part.

Johnny Pate is an incredible arranger and this one of

the FUNKIEST and HARDEST pieces from 70's film.

That drum sound is envious and Wurlitzer sit so nice in the mix and you can tell the horn section is having FUN.

Damnit what a groove !

[then00best]

don't forget the bass, so smooth

[sax3740]

this version is so much better than anything from this time period

[djshinobilaty]

kanye west used this too i think

[Sencesthehunter]

Thedjscotto Show Em What U Got by Unflux UK is just a really bad remix of Show Me What You got by Jay Z lol

[anice121]

[vegunited06]

[jronn76]

[sweepy90]
