when Dre says 'Give up all this pussy cat in my lap'
9. Pimp C's drawl

We'll wipe her ass out as in detergent
7. Because when the beat drops,
I get this unparalleled feeling of rapture, even tho I've heard the song like 400 times.

the lisp on 'play yo part 3 stacks play yo part, eh'
5. ^
4. The use of the phrase 'Top notch hoes'
(who clearly get the most, not the lesser)
3-2-1
Cos its great.
how
did this thread get left unconcluded for FOURTEEN MONTHS?
im guessing everyone spent all that time just listening to the song over and over and forgetting what they were supposed to be doing because its so effing great.
The only logical explanation.
In honour of this thread
Here's a 'Top 6 Songs That (in hindsight) Probably Wish They Used that Sample Better'
6. GZA - Crash Your Crew - Not the worst offender. Might not even be obviously the same sample until somebody points it out. Beat knocks hard regardless.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3QV8T5igbM
5. Mathematics - Pimpology 101 - I remember liking this album when it dropped and Mathematics in general. Kind of does the sample justice but with heavier drums.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c9P3Npy_7I&feature=player_embedded#!
4. jaheim - Chosen One - not really that bad, quite standard use of the sample, only fails because he's trying to slow jam over it rather than rapping about being a pimp in the face of a fairy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGxv-JChTTY
3. 50 Cent - Pimpin pt. 2 - 'lol'. Epic sample fail
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj3C66vR_20&feature=player_embedded#!
2. CORMEGA - RAPS A HUSTLE
It kind of sounds like someone trying to recreate the International Player's Anthem beat and falling flat. probably sounded great until UGK flew by.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVMMEApjKac
1. Deltrick Haddon - Count Your Blessings - I feel like someone is raping Intl' Player's Anthem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrKkUwfmMdo&feature=player_embedded#!
JOKER CARD:
Taylor Boyz - Taylor Made - sounds like a spoof in comparison lyrically, even though the beat is more or less identical sounding, hard not to crack a smile at AHHHH TAAY-LAHHH MAADEE though
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TAIVWOYFaI&feature=player_embedded#!
ohhh, solid post
Jaheim song is awesome. Mega one is pretty great too, standard tho yeah. Taylor Boyz is the one though, that quintessential 90s memphis sound, all the way down to the rapping.
Thanks for this.
haven't read the whole thread
but when it first kicks in at *my bitch a choosy lover...*
UGH.
<3
