Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full (Coldcut Remix)

[theyreout77]

i much prefer the original but it's still ill as fuck

[boardingtj]

Hey! I remember one of these samples was used in another song off the Sega Dreamcast Game "Jet Grind Radio" "Sweet Soul Brother!" and "The Music Just Turns Me On"

[v8zcar]

thx for sharing this, brings it way back to OE mixes and beats, Eric B and Rakim are the shi!

[DeleteThisMF]

Do you people realize this is hip-hop royality? I mean this is it. The pinnacle. Eric B and Rakim just make me have faith the genre is not dead and will never die.

[bambootm]

shits hypnotic.

[dapthetipp]

Ofra Haza crashed this cut. This is a classic to the end. numtumbot

[juicer404]

thinking of a master plan!!

[feacomm]

great video. thanks for upload.

[xBabyGEE]

So Awesome :)

[terrabun]

Been a Sisters fan for years, ought to have known that. Was listening to Temple of Love after this and thought how similar they were but it didn't click. .anyway, thanks for the answer :)

[hot00head00red]

how come they don't make beats like this anymore, this is real hip hop, now a days hip hop is all about money and wynee bullshit, and the beats suck, theirs no more skills anyone can be a rapper just look at lil wayne he's 1 of the worst, and he's so rich, he fuckin blows, people have to bring back the old school!

[mrSAMP00]

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY right, I agree with you 100%. LIL Wayne is the worst and right behind his sorry ass is Kanye West, and soldja girl ( OOPS I meant SOLDJA BOY). These rappers now dayz are selling out for some quick cash with their trashy ass rhymes and MINUTE MADE BEATS.

[Hockeyevan9992]

Or people like "Soulja Boy", or whatever the fuck his name is. The fact that the utter shit people call "music" these days is popular baffles me.

[holeshotrob]

"I used to roll up cuz this a hold up, ain't nothin funny, stop smilin cuz still don't nothin move but the money"

Truer words have never been spoken!

[terrabun]

anybody know the name of the female vocal sample that comes in at about 48secs? been bugging me since I've heard it in a few tracks.

[MLS239]

The female vocalist is the late, great Yemeni singer Ofra Haza, from her single 'Im Nin'Alu'. She was a best-selling Israeli recording artist in her own right, sampled on both this and 'Pump Up The Volume' by M/A/R/R/S. One of her last appearances was on The Black Dog's excellent 'Babylon' + she did most of the songs for 'The Prince of Egypt'. She died in 2000 of organ failure/pneumonia. A tragic loss, a beautiful lady and singer... (and yes, this is a dope beat!) Peace :)

[RasputinStream]

Born in Israel, her family roots and cultural heritage are from Yemen. She died of HIV which, according to her ex-manager, she got from her husband.

She also features Sisters of Mercy's "Temple of Love" which is one hell of a track.

[JUNIORYANKEEBOY]

THIS IS PURE SKILL.REAL MUSIC.

[DeeZnutz83]

Dig into my pockets all my money's spent

I dig deeper, but still comin up with lint

[kensley94]

2:24 dammn I used to roll up dangerous scratch nigga.

[billleeocean]

thinking of a master plan

this ain't nothing but sweat inside my hand

[FloatBuoy]

The Derek B urban respray mix is much better - this was at the time and is still Cheeeeesy. RIP Derek B

[Tsoublication]

Bravo! A classic! :)

[gjelmgoe]

[RasputinStream]

[damitdan1]

[all6inthelast]

B&Rakim didn't like it when they heard it, apparently. Groundbreaking along with M/A/R/R/S. Played the 128+2 games 2 it, he,he...

[targetjij]

the one from snoop dogg is better but i cant find it lol

[Harborx]

Tupac, you mean...

[Samalachem]

Its called Paper'd Up

[LenMan619]

.....only 'cause I saw a couple people asked: This cut is on the Soundtrack "Colors" which also has a couple nice tracks on it as well. After this cut, my favorite on the album is "Six Gun."

[GreenTVHost]

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! trippin' out in my living rooooom thinking of all the devious things i did when this came out. i used to roll up with my cassette tapes. but now i learn to earn b/c i'm righteous!!! whistlin' this!  eric B and rakim!!! the sh*t. thank you. hit the studio...

Einer meiner Lieblingsmixes der goldenen 80er Jahre. Super gut

[Killerdillerboy]

SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE OF THE BEST!!!

[suellich]

[aou722]

love that ofra haza's sampled....great remix production by coldcut.

[stoleninfo]

she is also featured on "temple of love"

by THE sisters of mercy

the video had islamic writing i think.

and my parents wouldn't let us see it

you know, subliminal messages

ironic at the end of the day

[ladylusciouz]

how is islamic writing subliminal messaging???

[stoleninfo]

Don't know!

My Father was very strict, and very Baptist.

In the end it did me a great service as when I broke from organized Religion!

Never again could I be brainwashed into religious dogma!

I wish Aleister Crowley had taken a more

Holistic Christian path like i did....generally speaking, not giving a shit and making fools of the scientific and religious communities, exposing them as money changing frauds--one and all

they all practiced buggery, that was a distraction from getting pwned

[ladylusciouz]

err... alesiteir crowley? are you are freemason or something?

[aou722]

wow....wish i know the meaning. i used the sample of 'little buddha' soundtrack for the first thievery corp while working with eric & rob. none of us know the meaning of the song, but it works well supporting underground track.

[stoleninfo]

i can find it if you truly want it

[MrGoingHard]

old school, true school, back when brothers was buying vinyl or cassette tapes! and recording mixes off the radio on a maxell tape! holla if ya hear me!

[CubeLuda]

Defo man, fucking miss those days. Golden ages i tells ya!

[mitderhandamsack]

classic sh*t

[carchavtube]

Classic...true classic.

[cineprep]

Colors!

[dummyjuice2006]

This is some raw friggin shit

[beatfreak4]

classic fave!...

[stoleninfo]

that is way tight

and i had this record like 20 years ago!

[jbluntfingers]

feel this i havent heard this since like 91 lol im 35 lol i had the beast a tape deck an my 2 tapes guriellis in the mist bye ice cube eric b

rakim lol

[big973e]

i'm not tryin to sound negative but this plus the 2 live crew tracks paved the way for mass sampling in songs which led to all the execs looking for copyright/royalty checks off the success of the songs that were sampled....de la soul is one of the last groups i know to mass sample like this......tryin to make them broke off the good music they make

[sneakywan]

Ofra Haza brutha!

[fenerlihuss]

who was the woman singing?

[oysters15]

ofra haza-an israeli singer had few hits in uk at time, more successful in israel & europe

[ladylusciouz]

hey isn't she singing the verses of the islamic holy book the Qur'an...how can she be israeli n jewish??

[RasputinStream]

No, she's not singing the holy Qur'an. Altough she also sang in Arabic, Aramaic and English she's singing in Hebrew on this one. Im Nin'alu is a Hebrew poem by the 17th century's Yemenite Rabbi Shalom Shabazi.

[ladylusciouz]

calm down

[RasputinStream]

Lol. Gotta keep u in check sister.

[fruityblack]

Thank you so much for the knoweledge, I truly appreciate it. - Tina

[tiodjula]

Ofra Haza and the song is called "Im Nin alu".

it is from 1988 - was a #15 in the Uk and also in the Us charts...... unfortunately , she died in 2000....

[comicb00kguy]

this is one of the great remixes of all time. Paid in Full was already a timeless song, this remix just made a great song even better. Old school forever!

[oagras]

This was a classic example of what great sampling does to an already awesome song. From what I remember, this made Ofra Haza more famous in the West.

This couldnt be done today..........too many fuckers to pay off to have their permission.

[speeches]

One Love from Miami !

[tiodjula]

Hi awolfeld... the chicks name is Ofra Haza....

she relased a 12inch with that song....

i wonder if she got paid in full:-)and .. one of my most beloved 12"....this is!

[75andalive]

I love that woman and her voice !!!

[moorlach]

Rakim is a god!

[awolfeld]

goosebumps when that bass line comes in with the chick singing - boss

[SawdidSpinx]

I treasure my 12" of this. So good.

[littshepkid]

i was looking for the one on saints row imao

[EmpowerProductions]

anyone know what Cold Cut album this is from?

[513imani]

its not from an album. cold cut is the version of the song. it was released on the 33'' album. which is really hard to find . believe me I've tried

[djf17]

its on the colors soundtrack if you could find it

[lxolxo7]

BET!!! I can't believe they didn't approve? It was probably a money 'thang. The original version stands on it's own no doubt, but this remix is "CERTIFIED CLASSIC MATERIAL"!!! Coldcut IS the SHIT! Be'lee Dat!! Many thanks for posting. I still have 12" vinyl of this cut I bought way back in '87! Peace!

[annlucien]

Whether or not they approved of it-- the amount of work that went into it is staggering. It is sheer rap genius.

[buttonboxes2711]

Eric B & Rakim didn't approve of this remix apparently.

[katryn3]

chill out jeeeeeeeesssssss:p

[Gooderz21]

I heard the label 4th & broadway didnt like this remix so they released it here in the UK first to see if people liked it, it ended up number 1 on the UK top 40

[NotATube]

Eric B- not to be confused with Eric the Half a Bee, right? ;-)

[katryn3]

lol

[NostalgicDays88]

This is the best example of Trip Hop up to date.

[hardmanners]

That's from the time hip hop was still acceptable.

[BevoBill31]

uhhhnn that beat explodes my head

[dyoung94]

wow how gay are u

[mrterry56]

the woman singing is Ofra Haza. The song is im nin alu. she was born in Yemen and grew up in Israel.

[maisyvee]

i miss classics like these they dont make hip hop like how they used to :(

old school legends are the best lol

[XMEWYMEWZ]

[lucas123kowe]

Pioneering trip hop

[mudball10]

[comicb00kguy]
