hey funk, first love your stuff bro! Great history, speaking of history, I was driving through the mall parking lot bumpin EPMD "what cha saying" and these young cats started mocking the running man dance and looking stupid.So I stopped, turned dow the music and told him he needs to do his history and pick up some EPMD, he was probably some Solja Boy fan. UGH! What happened to hip-hop?
I notice you got the MIXDECK, I have that as well. How do you like it?
Dude - I really appreciate your series and I thank you for posting your videos...being a DJ myself, I find myself schooling these young cats out here on where these samples used in today's hip-hop tracks come from, and I've learned quit a bit myself from watching your videos. Even teachers have teachers, and I've come to accept you as mine - real type. Keep up the excellent work!
yo! that wildstyle joint was the shit! i make sure i watch it once a month! LOOK PEOPLE YOU HEAR IT ON THE RADIO YOU SEE IT ON THE TV SHOW! Classic. I cant help but laugh at a lot of it now but back when it came out. It was the hiphop gospel.
Man every single time i watch your videos i get so psyched i cant stop myself from pullin out some vinyls and makin some beats...its an addiction haha
teddy p's ''close the door''was also sampled in the keith murry song ''i get lifted''remix that i believe was done exclusively 4 a dj clue or somebody else mixtape.
Not sure if you have done this yet but man please spread the word of Lenny Williams "Cause i Love you" or as everyone else calls it "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista
Nice! Thanks for the response! I'm following on hub pages as well. This is soooo dope! I've been doin the same for people thru e-mail for a while. Peace and Love.
Why can't people understand that rap music is made from samples. It's the genius of combining beats and scratches and hooks to create a new feel to the old records. Peep Stestasonic's song " Talkin All that Jazz" it explains it all. No disrespect for people making new beats, but notice all hip hop classics have sampled songs in them...
please feel free to list them or make your own video on house samples of any link or the ones you mentioned. i just do samples in HIp-HOP HISTORY. I can't teach about what I don't listen to.
HEY MAN i just finished up the entire 34. you educated me on alot and you had songs i already knew! like Yes we can can or expansions. Keep these coming. I actually heard expansions from vice city but its all good.
you do hear a song titled "Pretty baby" by Blondie. its the part where Virginia ( the fake Blondie) is driving heading to go meet the Union. its the song you hear her playing in her car.
I did a video about the anatomy of "on the wheels of steel" and it got deleted by youtube, with all the samples used on grandmasters flash classic tune
man can't say how much i enjoy what ur doing. Love how i caN feel how much you dig the music!!!! mAn if i wasn't so broke i really would donate. I apologise.....keep doing what your doing.
Sent you $5 as I hope everyone should. Can't you get something with iTunes to have the songs come up with a link to purchase them where you could get some kind of commission? That stuff comes up on a lot of other videos.
I love jazz samples, would have liked to have seen stuff by Billy Brooks/Lou Donaldson/Ahmad Jamal/Dizzy Gillespie/Joe Sample and maybe even Michael Longo - but fantastic volume non the less, enjoy the $10 my man and the Joe Tex vinyl!
hey man thanks for the videos you are really a teacher of rap and samples i have a sample for you tho.. Whole Lotta Something Goin' On by Raphael Ravenscroft for Beanie Sigel's Feel It In The Air look in to it if you could thanks $5.00 is comming
vaibone already mentioned it earlier, you probably know, but Menahan Street Band does an amazing cover of Bill Conti's Going the Distance. Best band of the last 10 years. Keep up the rad work!
Has anyone been watching the old Soul Train reruns on Centric? A few weeks back featured Lonnie Liston Smith and Roy Ayers. Last week was Mandrill and Elton John.
In my area now........ Luv Jazz music. Check out two other gems by Lonnie Liston Smith "In the park" and "Sunburst" - absolutely brilliant! Mystic Brew - off Ronnies first album on Blue Note "Two headed freap" always loved that track, didn't know it had been sampled. Nice track by McCoy Tyner - Walk Spirit Talk Spirit - the version off the later album Layonda de la hora (forgive my spelling).
I ain't even watched this video yet. I just finished watching the previous one. Checked my paypal account for the 1st time in a year and there just happened to be $5 sitting in there so I immediately sent it to you, my friend. $5 shiney Canadian loonies.
Anyone who has enjoyed his videos gots to get on top of this asap. Imagine if someone showed up at your door with 100 DVDs of awesome tunes, humor, knowledge, etc. and said you could have it all for 5 bucks. You wouldn't hesitate. Thanx
Menahan Street Band did a cover of bill conti-going the distance. it appears on their 12inch Make the road by walking dap records.i've sampled it :P ..this album also has the track make the road by walking sampled by jay z for roc boys.
You put a fuckin HUGE grin on my mug on the daily! Hook a brother up with a job at the Cheesecake @ Sawgrass Ft.ladidadi. Seriously. I need a job, but I have more fun with you schoolin me. This is from a 38 year old hip-hop head.

Accidentally purchased both the Ronnie Foster and Vijay Iyer Trio renditions of 'Mystic Brew'.
To anyone with critical listening skills and a buck to spare: could you explain what is going on in the Vijay Iyer version of the song?
I honestly restarted iTunes midway through my first listen.
The VIT rendition is the antithesis of 'Electric Relaxation'; more an agitating poly-phasic nightmare. But somehow I can't stop listening to it...
