[NecKClippA]

Did Jurassic 5 sample this on their blacktop beat?

[TheMadgroove]

ça groove sec

[CatMastaBubbles]

[mrziplocstaysfresh]

Holy fuck this is great!

[GOTITWET]

SAVE THE MUSIC!!!!

[TonySteeles]

Amazing!



[ooooSYOSSoooo]

[exel191]

[irishsetterarchie]

Just makes me want to smile....and the bass man has really got it going on!!

[USfutbol]

[kjchicago1]

Make it talk, Ramsey!

[flimfilms]

J5.

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

THIS THAT AL GREEN TYPE BOOM BAP BEAT!! I keep hearing this melody a lot. Thank God I came across this video.

[TheDeepSounds]

watch?v=dskLZDZgUVw

[cjthenoisemaker]

Oh, I did hear the Rhodes wah wah.

[aXmo20]

wah wah effect on fender rhodes - real cool !

[cjthenoisemaker]

@aXmo20 That's Minimoog squarewave with high resonance.

[aXmo20]

wah wah effect on fender rhodes - real cool !

[MoroSdz]

this music talks...

[stanbrekston]

i just wish i could find his version of olivia newton-johns 'let's get physical'

[puskina73]

GREAT MAN.

[regscott]

as my dad would say ramsey is a bad cat is sound is so smooth

and soulful

[roscoegino]

70s music is like the Mafia. Everytime I try to embrace the new stuff another 70s track pulls me back in.

[revpeyton79]

god this is sick

[hydrobeatz1]

rip guru

[LABGangsters]

Where on earth are people getting Jurrasic 5?

The sample for Concrete Streets is Ike Turner

/watch?v=f8cFpqjr9qo&feature=p­layer_embedded#!

[TheRealMikeGiaco]

@LABGangsters its the bass line, you hear it the best in the outro of concrete schoolyard, message me if you cant find it

[alorettagay]

unadulterated acid jazz...pure and no frills...grew up withthis music..

[linotheundead]

@Hannover1980 Nope, it's on Bloody Kisses :)

[coejack]

This music was pure and real. It sucks that i grew up in a time where music was starting to die off and turnd to shit. Even to this day record companys still dont get it. Maybe some day ppl will pick up guitars pianos drums and bass again one day and start playing some good music. 

[TigerConoro24]

@coejack If you want to listen to some decent - and at times, moving - modern music of that genre, you should check out both the Fleet Foxes and the Local Natives.

[tbid18]

Jurassic 5 sampled this for "Concrete Schoolyard", both amazing songs.

[SRealityBeats]

@tbid18 the piano sounds similar but they sampled ike turners-gettin nasty

[data5train]

if Ramsey Lewis were white he'd still be the baddest mother fucker to walk the street

[xCrustGrindingVeganx]

to anyone tht is listenign, im jus gettn into more jazz n such n i love this track! an similar artists/sons you could lead me to?

[kepke99]

@xCrustGrindingVeganx lowrider by war. the gems i cant help myself

[irishsetterarchie]

WONDERFUL VERSION OF THIS GREAT SONG....NOBODY LIKE RAMSEY LEWIS...LOVE HIM AND SURELY ALWAYS WILL!!!

[TheLsheath]

Great version of this tune!

[djesnub]

THE SAMPLE IS FROM TOO SHORT-I THINK "DANGEROUS CREW"

[Mitchmatchless]

thats what I call real muzak

[khaliamoon]

Ever notice how Ramsey Lewis and Nicky Barnes (American Gansgter) lokk alike?

Oh, RL is great!!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

@2009Denisem YEP AMEN!

[THRILLAKILLA187]

WOW I LOVE THIS VERSION AS WELL! THX AND BIG PROPS TO incrediblecHiller THIS IS DIFFIDENTLY A GEM!

[sevzz]

I wonder how could 4 people dislike this song and vote thumbs down.

[MemphisGrooves]

Many Thanks For The Post !!

[MrGreen13]

sampled by the beatnuts for french rap band alliance ethnik's "jamais a l'heure"

[lukain]

i love it smooth and laid back. a german rapper called torch sampled this song on his track exodus.

[reggiekoopa]

it's FANTASTIC!

[chakasim]

if not already answered, e.g. guru sampled it

[SPECTRE1961]

That's the Treasure !

God Save The Black Men !

[3krk]

[chaput420]

Good call it is a J5 cut:)

[BillionGODSun]

Turn It Up!

[SuperJM1980]

[lvann87]

any bad opinion on this track is clearly not to take seriously .

[TheTallMan35]

@lvann87 I have a bad opinion on this track. It ain't long enough!! Ha Ha

[niccwhite]

@lvann87 hehe good one

[niccwhite]

@lvann87 hehe good one

[beloit22]

[chardelli]

Nice but better than Isleys? Do me a favour !!

[TokenRah]

Way better than the Isley Brother's version!

[mrbodoo]

cacat

[shuppypnk]

psychedelic!

[ScooterB27]

I love this cover... iTunes doesn't have it, either.

[keyrone77]

ha itunes buy the LP mi old

[bijannamazi]

where can i download this?

[Jskippy05]

buy it. support good music

[bluewools]

@Jskippy05 yeah, buy it used, it hasn't been re-issued.

[rrlloo1]

@Jskippy05 But this guy has made it already. If you're all about supporting good music, go buy young promising artists' albums. This guy has no need to climb anymore.

[orozcovargas]

LA POLLA!!!!!!!!!

[GuadalupeFijaro]

no no, a marijuana cigarette.

[kisidapi]

The beach, a cigarette, myself, and this music... Perfect!

[SubconsciousDweller]

what!? nice intro!!

[LDNURECS]

Genius

[Bail9dodge]

Dj Krush- mixed nuts, 00:13-00:16???

[jrocadam]

jay z used the first part of the song he sampled it

[JazziJBC]

love them Rhodes... anyone who's hatin on the keys should jump off a bridge, thank you....!

[Bassndrumboy20]

not bad but could have done without the really really bad synth

[thatiboboy]

Fix your audio!

If that fails, then you dont just get it.

[zapwatt]

That's not a synthesizer. That is an electric piano. You just don't get it.

[Bassndrumboy20]

I got it about the "I just don't get it" I'm not talking about the Rhodes I'm talking about the synth that come on right around 0:10 on the right channel

[mrsjones13]

um.....ok....fabulous......hel­lo 1970's.....

[trueafrica]

The afro, the shades, the head to the side; The album cover looks like a blaxploitation movie poster.

You combine the above with this version of summer breeze especially the point were the fender rhodes appears to go off key-(summer breeze makes me feel fine....... ) I dare say that this is pure sex on vinyl!!

[voodoochild85858]

man that production is tasty

[prorealtor1999]

AWESOME !

[cratenerd]

Check out Gabor Szabo's version off the Mizrab lp. Dejohnette on drums, James on keys, Carter on bass= HEAT.

[JailbirdJay]

sampled by cut chemist or nu-mark for j5...

"this is tunnel vision..." ;)

[imcurtis206]

I think its like the last minute or so of Concrete Schoolyard off the J5 LP

[JailbirdJay]

yea i know ...people mentioned that before... my quotation ("this is tunnel vision...") was just a lil joke... ^^

[Blueito]

The MUSIC

[pancakesamich]

Sounds like Charlie Brown like when they're walking.

[everythinguwant2b]

[fujitafunk]

[wilson1031]

Please somebody tell me who sampled that bassline it's bugging the hell out of me!

[incrediblecHiller]

[dngcat]

[tableturns77]

@incrediblecHiller at 1:21 it sounds like its by jurassic 5 - concrete schoolyard

[DerEchteSikkk]

@incrediblecHiller it really does

[maceta84]

common- southside

[Bean357]

Nope, Common Sampled Don Covay "If There's a Will There's A Way"

[Rafscallion75]

It was Jurassic 5. They used this break at the end of concrete school yard.

[milesIronwood93]

Jurassic 5 - Concrete schoolyard, the end part where its just the bassline and a beat.

[kfconme]

@ 4:11 - very nice loop.

[ChiefActionjackson]

@wilson1031 i think rza sampled this but i cant remember but its deffenatly in the hook of krazy bones cought up in my ways

[qwertyuiopeamonn]

@wilson1031 mash

[micalizio]

its jazzmatazz / guru and super producer solar, and im pretty sure that vivian green is singing with em too

[bezago2]

@wilson1031 Jason Mraz did a cover of this song...

[zamdoom]

@wilson1031

Alliance Ethnik's Jamais A L'heure feat Lucien aka Papalu & Psycho Les of The Beatnuts

[djesnub]

@wilson1031 TOO SHORT SAMPLED IT-I THINK I WAS THE SONG "DANGEROUS CREW" , ITS THE SONG WHERE THEY DISS POOH MAN

[blasebabey]

@wilson1031 i know i had it on a mix cd with j5, 7l and esoteric and guru... cant remember the track name tho killing me also ahhh

[ntomlin79]

@wilson1031 it is buggin me too--could it be kanye?

[Fredolicious83]

@wilson1031 besides seals and crofts and type o negative, also guru made a rap cover as well as the german rapper tourch! But this is the original from the jazz legand during the 60s

[nattuco2]

@Fredolicious83 Wait. Are you saying that this is the original? As far as I know Seals & Croft's was the original. Just asking, because if so there is some bad info out there.

[linotheundead]

@Fredolicious83 Not so. Seals & Crofts is the original, released in 1972. Ramsey Lewis did this cover in 1974.

[TheRealMikeGiaco]

@wilson1031 jurrassic 5 concrete schoolyard

[ChuRocka]

[victornewman06]

A classic Seals and Croft cover!!!!

[Roelandvinken]

THe Isley Brothers where the original composers of this song am i right?

[incrediblecHiller]

It was "Seals and Crofts".

[theslice2]

around 1.50 i think you can hear a bit that Thin Lizzy used in Sarah

and didn't Mr J Hendrix play on the early version?

[putabarata]

humming bird

[putabarata]

theres another seals and croft song he does on this record thats really good

[incrediblecHiller]

Anyone know which german rap act used the sample near 2:00? I think it was Torch, die Firma or Toni L but i can't come up with the song...

[gmcd149]

jurassic 5 "improvise" break near end - nice!

[noprob11]

what song jayz use this for??

[incrediblecHiller]

[topmangaz]

Check out some Stevie Wonder. This has been sampled by him and then every black dude who cannot compose their own stuff.

[distantdreamer2007]

Juan Carlos
