Non-Entry as I broke the rules and used some acapellas
For the hook, I sampled parts of 2 classic hip-hop tracks which were originally produced by Dilla. I used parts of
A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again, and
De La Soul - Stakes is High.
I also used an acapella of another classic Dilla-produced track,
Pharcyde - Runnin'. I used 2 verses and the chorus, so effectively it's a Runnin' remix, with various other bits thrown-in in between. Such as small samples taken from interviews from various artist talking about Dilla. The likes of
Busta Rhymes, Kanye West and Erykah Badu. Also sampled parts from a
J Dilla interview at the end of the track/medley.
For the music I only sampled 'tape 6' from
Bleep's sample pack. Thanks for that man! Used outside drums, but every other sound was formed from the tape 6 sample, including the bass.
Hope you enjoy. I didn't intend to make such a long track, it just ended up that way. Although not quite in
Yoni Den territory
Looking forward to hearing what everyone brings this week!
