Lyn Collins - Think.

[djgrooveline]

supposedly this was used as a sample for aint no fun by snoopdog but i don't hear it.

[MajorDivaGirl77]

@djgrooveline I only hear it in one part of that song and that's towards the end where she goes "oh whoa". 

[jakeenan]

JB is having a ball in the background!!

[chamberlain1210]

shes heavy & sampled in many underground dance tunes...!

[martijndedj]

blijft een slammer!!!

[botvinnik64]

She was known as The Female Preacher! Amen to that!!!

[JoliePIT9]

Janet Jackson, "Alright" has this beat in it.

[Olemarskan]

1:21

[metaled16]

Think break!

[BoneThugsEternal]

EMPD-"Gold Digger" The part where james says "Ya bad sista" lol

[DonSkuzaCinema]

[stephenlandy82]

A piece of history

[bavariaamstel]

[007Thebwoy]

[504KIM]

James Brown wrote that song!!!!!!

[thoney30]

Wow!! didnt know this song was out here!! I was jaming at my computer!!! Powerful song!!! Rob Base did not bring me here but I'm glad I came!!

[jose67621]

que tiempos yo era pincha de una dicoteca en alcala de henares llamada alecos años 70 frecuentrada por gente de la base americana sonaba lo ultimo lyn collins-bobby byrd-rufus tomas-al green-spinners-mr. penguin-etc que musica lo añoro

[bathtub75]

It STILL is the Jam...

[JE12358]

good stuff yeah!

[noeticex]

@JazzMaestra you said it. This jam is so funky that although not uncommon for Mr. Brown to be heard in the background of most of his people's recordings, you can actually hear that Mr. Brown the funkiest man ever to grace this planet is REALLY feeling it. And not only is Mr. Brown so on the "one" when he is performing and recording, this man seems to make sighs and other distinct onomatopoeias sound so on beat. As if on purpose. Just oozed funkiness...

[jasonpfinch]

insane that this is where those sample clips came from. I was into hip hop and all sorts of dance going back to '88. Now only just putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Lovin' it. Insane.

[LondonAcidHouse1988]

the 3 samples at 1.23, 1.35 and 2.03 must in total make this tune be one of the most sampled ever by house, hardcore, jungle, hiphop etc not far behind 'Amen' and 'Funky Drummer'

[jasonpfinch]

@LondonAcidHouse1988 you are absolutely right my friend. I was there in the tail of the 80s and you COULD NOT AVOID this group of samples then.

[BalooRJ]

The most sampled song in the history of time.

[krazyjuicedan]

@BalooRJ Amen brother by The Winstons was sampled more time for the breakbeat.

[BalooRJ]

@krazyjuicedan Quite debatable, though that is right up there since every last D&B song samples the bridge of that track. But I swear I hear the AW, YEAH sample in so many different songs!

[MrDondada24]

Alchemist also sampled it for Curren$y. Blood Sweat n Gears. Peep

[vicjones357]

Whomever the two assholes that disliked this jam oughta be hung and shot!

[rafael28]

[garygluebag]

@garygluebag rob e base even :)

[dOLOSTIMULUS]

[Grin8]

:o I just realized this was sampled on Dance with the devil by Immortal technique!

I so love this. Lyn Collins!

[effentjes]

just great!

[trachy88]

This is the Sh*t

[Roshellism]

This song changed the way that women think and that's why women are so independent today. Because she told the truth how men treated women back in the day. So men THINK!!!!! why are women so headstrong? Men took women for granted so they had to lay the cards on the table and stand up for themselves.

Roshellism

[debgirl12000]

@Roshellism You know thats right! She was the first female feminist as far as I am concerned! She told the guys to act right or else! She was not having it or putting up with their BS! She was not begging no guy to do nothing for her! SHe demanded respect and got it! I miss her so much! I saw her perform at the Apollo Theater in NYC in Harlem back in the day with James Brown! She was the bomb! Thank you Lyn for making my teenage years so wonderful!

[JoliePIT9]

Janet sampled this in "Alright". Check it out!

[rojman123]

1:22!! That sample is ingrained in my head

[blkron3]

[SOULJATWIN]

R.I.P LYN COLLINS "GODMOTHER OF SOUL"

[THEcoohl]

Curren$y/Alchemist - Blood Sweat & Gears. #JETS

[svendiamond]

[spsnova]

It takes 2 to make a thing alright...

[SirSupernice]

Yeah! Wooh!

[WizLaudan73]

love this track...

[kaizen1640]

@lorriemick She was the female preacher.

[Cabronblanco]

Rob Base & DJ EZ Rocks "It Takes Two" samples this according to VH1

[DjEssence305]

@Cabronblanco yeah they did, listen to the basic melody of this song, from 1:20- 1:30 is the obvious hook that was also sampled by Rob Base and Dj EZ rock

[BSEmadcow]

Awesome song. Can definitely hear the James Brown influence.

[JazzMaestra]

@BSEmadcow Don't you hear James in the background?!?! This was the Jam back in the day!!

[BeyondInfinit]

@JazzMaestra JB wuz goin nuts baq thurr......damn.....u woolda taught it wuz hiz song .......hahahaha

[JazzMaestra]

@BeyondInfinit

It waaaaaas James Brown's song (LOL). You know how it worked back in the day. The MALE producer introduced the FEMALE singer; took credit for production; and then maybe the female singer got a chance to sing on her own.

[Xaemyl]

@JazzMaestra It still is the jam! :)

[eracism09]

@JazzMaestra It's still the jam to me!!!!
