DJ Service - Blast From The Past!when sharps came to me with the idea of a mix series based on informing people of genres of music they may not know a lot about, one of the first ideas that popped into my head was a sample-example type mix. its been done before but i thought that i would try to place my own mark on this type of mix. ive always been big into the history behind tracks and so i hope that maybe this will interest people who have always wondered where or how sampling is done. this is definitely a type of mix that i see myself making multiple editions of. enjoy!

tracklisting
flamengos/fugees - i only have eyes for you/zealots
ive always had a special place in my heart for the fugees and ive always loved their appreciation of culture from all over. doo-wop cannot be messed with.
freddie scott/biz markie - got what i need/just a friend
biz markie was the first hiphop mc that showed me that hiphop could be funny and didnt always have to be serious serious. the original is sooo soulful too.
creative source/the game - id find you anywhere/wouldnt get far
when i find the original sample for a track i always love discovered where the actual vocal snippet is from in the song and this is a great example of that. and i love the west coast.
betty wright/mary j. blige - clean up woman/real love remix
just an awesome awesome sample. its sooo good.
mtume/biggie - juicy fruit/juicy
its kinda funny how many biggie tracks are basically biggie just rapping over a funk or soul song. i mean theres so lil done to alter the sample but then again, who needs any more when the original is so smooth.
lou reed/atcq - walk on the wild side/can i kick it?
best bassline ever. hands down. every frat boy in the world knows this tribe track so you can ask them about it!
george clinton/snoop - atomic dog/whats my name
g-funk is amazing. and i love how not only is the track sampled but the vocals are interpolated and changed to fit the chorus of the snoop track. whenever i listen to this track i picture nate dogg c-walking.
david mccallum/dr dre - the edge/next episode
im not sure how many people realize that next episode is based so much on this david mccallum track. im also not sure how many people realize that missin linx came out with 'm.i.a.' a year before next episode and use the same sample. ive heard people say dre stole the idea from them. who knows.
kool & the gang/public enemy - jungle boogie/welcome to the terrordome
i thought it would be cool to show a more subtle sample. of course the pe track has a bunch more samples in this track but i thought the kool & the gang one stood out.
isley brothers/public enemy - fight the power
i dont think this is a direct sample but the tagline is definitely the same. isley brothers ruled things.
curtis mayfield/kanye - move on up/touch the sky
i wanted to put a more popular track that everyone would know so those who werent necessarily deep into hiphop could still enjoy this.
rick james/busta - ghetto life/in the ghetto
i just got my hands on this rick james track and its actually the inspiration for this whole mix. why? cuz rick james is AWESOME. seriously, hes a badass and still awesome. and i love how busta half-timed the beat. and not to toot my own horn but i like how my mix came out on this, almost melding them into one track.
