Tupac sampled this song on "Lord Knows".

[sta2479]

this song is the soul of soul jazz

it takes you to a place where you don't

want to come back from it puts you in a

mood of relaxation.the jazz of the 70s

was real jazz.

[zbreedla]

MF DOOM sampled this too on "Sorcerers".

@WundaTwinzTV exactly what brought me here

[Brynny211]

Got the spirit of a thug in me

Another sip of that drink, this Hennesey got me queasy

Don't wanna earl, young nigga take it easy

Picture your dreams on a triple beam, and it seems

don't underestimate the power of a fiend

To my homies on the block

slangin rocks with your glocks put this tape in your box

When you're runnin from the cops -- and never look back

If they could be black, then they would switch

Open fire on them busta-ass bitches, and Lord knows...

[coalcaol]

@7catstied2gether NOOO for the second time its 1:38 use ya ears son

[realmendontdance100]

this is so beautiful to listen to

[7catstied2gether]

0:25 is DOOM's sample. the reason this song makes such a nice beat is because it's laid back and has no lead part. its jazzy and light, and sorcerors spit fire over it.
