The Masquerade is Over - David Porter

From 1971's "Victim of the Joke?: An Opera", here's David Porter with the classic, "The Masquerade Is Over." Sampled a gang of times: Mos Def's "Brooklyn"; Mary J. Blige's "Keith Murray Interlude"; LL Cool J's "Ill Bomb"; and Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?" to name a few. Enjoy!

Someone who produced the song "Two Glock 9s" used a sample of this song.

Rappers who were on that song are TI and Beanie Segal.
