Maybe it's even a genetic thread which runs through all black ppl who make music since the blues.Kelvin Mack10ziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520899595495383643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-29496726131936337282011-07-23T17:44:06.785+01:002011-07-23T17:44:06.785+01:00And incidentally although the release date on amaz...And incidentally although the release date on amazon says '2008' the boss hogg outlawz track actually dropped as a bonus on 2005's "already platinum" & so predates Rhymefest's versionDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029077185176884824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-81564454924966149902011-07-23T16:57:28.342+01:002011-07-23T16:57:28.342+01:00Im guessing NHT boys found that sample thanks to B...Im guessing NHT boys found that sample thanks to Black C's '70s baby' album from last year (check track 2)<br />http://www.amazon.com/70s-Baby-Black-R-B-L-Posse/dp/B003J3YBCI<br /><br />but this is actually my favorite version: http://www.amazon.com/I-Need-A/dp/B001LJRDEK/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1311436620&sr=1-2Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029077185176884824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-5515733486921334462011-07-23T16:12:21.033+01:002011-07-23T16:12:21.033+01:00I think Charles Hamilton is a lot more interesting...I think Charles Hamilton is a lot more interesting than Big Sean, not that Charles Hamilton is interesting. I don't like the DB song, but I always thought Flashing Lights was abysmal. Anyway, I was listening to the Last Days of Disco soundtrack, and it struck me, was Teddy Pendergrass's loud-soft dynamic on 'The Love I Lost' (and probably a million other songs I don't know because I know nothing about 70s music), e.g. "I'm so sad and lonely BUT WITHOUT YOU MY LIFE IS SO DEAD" an influence on Silkk the Shocker? It's actually eerily Silkkesque. Even the parts where the other Blue Notes will chime in with these little parts that slowly trail off ("you go your way, and I'll go my wayyyyyyyyyyyy") is something that Silkk did all the time. I should really start a Silkk-only blog.Asherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09892512047555912552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-80701195522551099122011-07-23T11:49:01.774+01:002011-07-23T11:49:01.774+01:00Equilibrium restored.Equilibrium restored.Kelvin Mack10ziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520899595495383643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-62761276225063544622011-07-23T11:43:03.595+01:002011-07-23T11:43:03.595+01:00NhT's effort pisses all over Rhymefests.NhT's effort pisses all over Rhymefests.Mr Bozacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-42059423842280811212011-07-22T20:59:59.102+01:002011-07-22T20:59:59.102+01:00DB track clearly wins, fuck a kanye.DB track clearly wins, fuck a kanye.Steady Bloggin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/06214837793288496547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-45307427854449185822011-07-22T14:55:06.877+01:002011-07-22T14:55:06.877+01:00Ha.

Was never the biggest Kanye fan, but I think this is one of his better conceived tracks. Everything works here. Lyrics (drama), but music is interesting, the hook is catchy, and on top of that the vocal thingy (flashing lights) is even catchier. <br /><br />The DB track is cool, but I just think the Kanye one sticks to the ribs more.<br /><br />The Willie Hutch sample. I think it's just a matter of who you like better on the track. I'm ok with both of them, I suppose.Boothehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11705798155567281325noreply@blogger.com
