A much needed Black Music thread.

Sampler #2.

 

[K Douglas]

One of the greatest instrumental tracks in history of music. <the Sample>

 

[K Douglas]

Everyone knows the main sample of Summer Madness was Summertime by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I'm going to give my two favorite (of the 200+) samplers of this track.

Sampler #1. DJ Premier is in Deep Concentration. Give the man behind the wheels some credit.

 

[K Douglas]

Sampler #2. Lesser known for sure but a hidden gem from the 90's - Da Bush Babees ft. Mos Def...The Love Song.

 

[K Douglas]

Wind Parade - Donald Byrd <the Sample>. If you haven't listened to it prepare to be mesmerized. OMG @ 0:24.

 

[K Douglas]

Sampler #1 - It hits you like a Stray Bullet

 

[K Douglas]

Sampler #2. Buck Em Down, Buck Em Down, Buck Em Down. Sick, Sick, Sick.

Sorry to burst your bubble but punk is not black music. Even if the artists are black.

Otis could rock with the best of them.....the uptempo Cant Turn You Loose

 

[derrick76]

Straight up classic Motown <the sample>

Only, that isn't Motown. It's the Philadelphia Sound, which was created/perfected by Jamaican immigrant Thom Bell, Leon Huff, Linda Creed (Epstein) among others.

Nice share again ogibowt!

Based on your posting histroy on this thread, I have the impression that Otis is one of your favorites if not the favorite?

You are indeed correct. This was released right after they left Motown. Nonetheless, still a classic.
