Did one of these a while ago (click here) . I'm one of those people that loves tracing back samples, then hearing what else that band recorded. Good way of discovering old music. I can honestly say I'm rarely surprised by popular songs that contain samples after reading album credits all these years. Exhibit A This is "Fun" by Brick. Don't know much about them, but according to wiki "Brick is a former American band that created a successful merger of funk and jazz in the 1970s." Recognise it don't ya? My '90s babies will know it from "Video" by India Arie. Remember when female-empowerment songs weren't as desperate as "Who run the world? GIRLS!" What a well written song. But my '70s/early '80s dons will know it from Akinyele "Put It In My Mouth". Although I'm not either of the aforementioned, I hung around older people. And no, this song didn't make me more interested in the stuff he's speakin...

I love hearing songs where popular samples/interplotations come from, so this may be another idea I play with. Going to do it in reverse order because it's kind of bait when you hear the original. So guess the original, I guess lol What do you get when you put Biggie's 'One More Chance'. Couldn't get the vid so I chose a live performance. Haven't seen many live performances by Big. Taken from the infamous Source Awards "I hear the east coast not feelin Snoop Dogg", "If you don't want people dancing all in your videos... come to Death Row Biggie was no performer lol p.s. Lol @ Styles holding up the plaque @ 1:26 And Ashanti's jump off single 'Foolish' . Don't worry I won't subject you to a live performance by her Together with Mariah Carey - Loving You Long Time. Single shouldn't have failed man. Had all the elements to save what turned out to be a poor, poor album. You get this! Won't front at all, I only heard ...
