Funky Friday: Parliament "Mothership Connection" & Dre. "Let me ride"

It's Friday and if you hear any noise it's just me and the boys. Ain't nothin but a party yall!



Dre sampled this song for "Let me ride" see song above at 5:35 "Swing down, sweet chariot Stop, and let me ride"

I've got Money on My Mind! - Pink Floyd "Money"

I probably have ADD, but doesn't our entire generation? Well, when my mind wanders from my actual work these days I'm heavily thinking about raising capital for my next mission (don't ask...you'll find out when you need to). Anyway as Pink Floyd says: “Grab That Cash With Both Hands and Make a Stash”



This was sampled by Jeru and the Geto Boys, but only the cash register ring...not worth posting their videos to show a 2 second sample.

I wish...

Chamber Brothers - "Funky" - El Segundo

Sampled by the Q-Tip for Tribe's "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo"

Donald D "The Groove" '84 (B-Side)

Some old school flavor today... this is the B Side of the record, slightly different than the version most remember bc this side is rarely heard. Produced by Grand Master Flash.



If you're itching for the A side version here's a link...whoever posted the song did so displaying a picture of some 80's tramp "cleaning the sand out" LOL... You can listen to it here.

Isaac Hayes - Hung Up On My Baby (My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me)

Been up since 3:30am on plains and in meetings. Back home...ready to end the day, but I had to hit you off with a post for the day. Here's an Isaac classic that was sampled to make a hip-hop classic.




Gheto Boys - "My Mind's Playin Tricks on Me"

Dj Scratch & DJ Evil Dee @ B.B. Kings, NYC

Midnight Star "Curious"

Grand Puba - 360 (What Goes Around)

Such a mega classic!!! Puba was the man back in the day and was the truth when it came to fresh street gear. He kind of single handed put Hilfiger and Girbauds on the map back in the early 90s. Such a shame he was lazy when it came to his solo career...never lived up to his full lyrical potential.

Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly "Before I Let You Go"

Song of the day...

The Staple Singers "I'll take you there"

OK folks...I'll wrap up my Classic R&B kick this week and jump off to some other ish. Probably back to original sample tracks.

Hopefully this track helps you forget about the brutal cold weather outside for a few minutes. Enjoy...

King Floyd "groove me" on old 45

I dig the crackles of the old 45 vinyl...but that's probably bc I'm an old soul.

Groove Me Baby, move me baby.........
HEEEEEY! SOCK IT TO ME, MAMA!!

DJ Premier /AM kicks release

Yo I didn't know AM...Never knew him, met him, or heard him rock a party...so I've got no opinion on him or his kicks.

But Premo: THE GREATEST PRODUCER EVER, EVER, EVER!!!!! I'm disappointed in the kicks Nike dropped for him. I would only buy them out of respect for Premo. But seriously Nike! You know you F'd up and could have come harder for the greatest hip-hop producer ever in the game. C'mon son!

Oh and BTW as usual Ed Lover stole the show with his comments in the video. That dude is just too F'en funny.

Back to the work thing...so daily songs are also returning. Decided to pick up where I left off with more classic R&B jams...probably roll with it for the next two weeks before I switch back to samples.

Happy New Year! Enjoy...
