Beautiful tune.

If I'm not mistaken Exile sampled this in "She Said It's Ok"

just one question I'd like to ask, how do you clear a sample? I constantly sample in the way Pete Rock influenced me to do but I'm always under criticism

chillin.

@mvembathegriot sampling is so controversial! i agree completely with your point! for years to come true music lovers will seek out the samples to their favorite rap songs and bring old music back to life!

@bladiface thank you, ive been seeing a bunch of so called hip hop producers around my area calling themselves musicians while they're only able to sample, and the're not even good at doing that.

Sorry bu tsampling is not the same as 're interpreting'. it's just playing the same part of the music and putting in in a loop with a beat. (and often with a rapper on top) that is a much more limited creative Scope than a full 're interpretation' Which involves the playing, sometimes singing, re arranging completely, sometime modifying a structure, adding movements, modifying a theme. IT is way more that just 2 bits of sound engineering. Do not fool yourself that hip hop producing is the same.
@bolinho0987 Because few would know who Ahmad Jamal was....if Pete Rock hadn't used 4:57 5:03. It is what it is. Give the hip hop genre the credit it deserves for bringing some more obscure, sometimes forgotten music back to life...

The hip hop MCs and producers are doing a similar thing to what musicians in the jazz world did decades before. They take an existing song, either a standard or a relatively obscure one, and reinterpret it in a new form. Jazz and hip hop are flowers from the same musical tree. If young hip hop fans are getting into Ahmad Jamal and Miles and vice versa, that's wonderful!
