This is going out to all them teachers that said i wouldnt amount to anything and those people that called the cops when i was just trying to make some money to feed my baby daughter.
estyle40 - As far as i know he is still around working with different artists. i didnt put it the correct way i guess, sorry. I haven't kept up as much in the last 10 years or so. i'm guessing he is doing writing and arranging same as he's done in the past. you don't hear a lot about him because he was primarily in jazz. it would be interesting to see what he's doing now.
one of the best of the part-funk, part-soul cuts ever done. james mtume was a prodigy that didn't get the accolades he deserved. he was a master at what he did.
I Thank God that I grew up in the 70's and 80's with the best Music in the world. That's when we had Hit song after Hit song. There was a Jam coming out almost daily that became a huge hit. The music now and days ain't shit compared to the music from that era. We had the most meaningful and romantic music in the world. When writers and producers put a lot of thought into a song. When music didn't need all that computer advanced crap. Love all my vinyls and play them as often as I can.
Yeah, this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me id never amount to nuthin, to all the people that lives abovethe buildings i was hustlin in front of, called the poilce on when i was just tryin to make money so i could feed my daughter, and all the niggas in the strugle u know what im
Sayin its all good baby baby,
Uh it was all a dream i used to read word up magazine
Biggie did NOT bring me here. I have this on vinyl, and was just seeing if it was on YouTube. If there isn't a rap song made with the song, most people would never hear good music.
Next friday pops up in my head when he see's jokers sister walking and he walks over all smooth spits a lil game get her attention..then gets chased by chico!
B.I.G. didn't wanna use this sample and laughed at the way Mtume looked. I don't care how Mtume looked, they were bad ass, and knew how to make a cut.
No I'm not going to press any number on my keyboard.
No I'm not going to thumbs up your comment.

No i was not sent here by someone else
Music is here to be listened and appreciated. Unfortunately there are people out there who say the same old shit over and over again. Spread this everywhere and hope that the idiots will SHUT UP
@Diesels88/I agree with you totally because they would have a great story to tell considering they were an awesome group.With hot music such as this particular one "juicy fruit" which bytheway still is a true classic in my book.This was one of the national athem songs played at the family reunion,birthdays parties,family cookouts,etc. when.I was growing up as a child back in the day and it's still a fond memory today just as yesterday wow how wonderful those were the good times..
the original was a female artist-shawna or something like that-not shania twain-not these guys mtume (never heard of the band mtume) -i thought it was 2007 twain sang at the superbowl-"feel like a woman" song-why didnt she sing the national anthem? are some people getting twain confused with miley cyrus? might explain US mail problems-paid for by ebay and or wellsfargo.
I am old skool and I will always be old skool. With that said, a lot of folks want to say Biggie's version better than the original. That's fine. However, when you understand that without amazing songs like 'Juicy Fruit,' 'Walk on by' by Issac Hayes and the like, you wouldn't have 80 percent of hip hop. I'm trying to think of a hip hop hit that DIDN'T feature a sample. Heck, even Pac sampled a grip of his stuff! I appreciate hip hop, but make no mistake - these old skool artists put in the work.
I think Biggie remade this song for my cousin when she was alive. "JUICY" R.I.P 1996. Round that time Junior Mafia made "Backstabbers". Who was the creators? Tha Ojayz. 2Pac starred in Juice. A lil game and relevance. Peace #JUICE aka OJ.
And then it got sampled from Biggie by the Knowmads, so by then it's a double sample! Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hmmm, ever notice how these rap songs that turn into hits have sampled classic tracks? This is why some radio stations will feature a before and after mix...just to expose some that dont know any better, to the original artists that have been sampled. Old school is the shit!
@orangejuice852 I understand if you like Biggie's sample better than the original artist's recording of this sung. But's let's get this straight, loud and clear. Mtume wrote this sung in 1983 and recorded it. Biggie "sampled it" years later, that means he copied it. As I said, I respect and appreciate your choice as to who you like better, but James Mtume is the writer and original artist. Please remember this: Originals are memories, Samples are reminders. Give credit where credit is do.
@DaddySweet100 You're right, but.. "It was all a dream..." the rest is history, don't forget the impact of the lyrics. They also "mastered" the song better for 90s standard.
I am an old school rap fan as well.I am 36.But some yrs back I realized that Hip Hop Production (Sampling) puts a limit on your musical ear.That's why a person would appreciate a Sample of a song over the Original Musical Composition.
