The guitar riff in this song is a sample from Hung Up on My Baby by Isaac Hayes. Great track in it own right and the Geto Boys took it and brought it to life.

That era of production, where the term “sampling” comes from. Has some of the best reinterpretations of other artists music. Another of my absolute favorites is Pete Rock and Cl Smooth taking Tom Scotts - Today, which is another great song on it’s own. Then completely turning it on it’s head into a whole other feel. youtu.be/qs0ou8b9GS8?feature=sharedIs there a 90s hip hop community?

Another great example of that is Ice Cube’s “Don’t Trust Em” taking Steely Dan’s “Green Earring.”

LordGloom OP ,

I’m going to be listening to Ice Cube all day now. I used to love that old NWA beef. 100 Miles and Runnin’ is underrated IMO but solo Cube was insane. Not sure of who produced this particular track, but he was using Public Enemy producers Da Bomb Squad, Dj Muggs, Sir Jinx, and Dj Pooh. That’s a murderers row of sick beat makers. By him using a more east coast sound also made him sound so much harder vs NWA at that time.

Rolando ,

Don’t Trust Em was produced by Ice Cube along with Rashad and DJ Pooh, who are 2 of the “Boogie Men” who co-produced Death Certificate.

The Death Side of Death Certificate is solid, it doesn’t let up for a second.

LordGloom OP ,

I did a quick Google search, and couldn’t find what the Boogie Men produced. Just Dj Pooh stuff. Could you tell me what else they did or better yet post it. Btw if we’re talking Steely Dan let’s talk this Prince Paul banger youtu.be/q9jCsOCfUUg?feature=shared

Yeah! De La Soul changed everything. In the same way, remember PM Dawn using that sample from Spandau Ballet? : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5lByFc7HiM
