LOU DONALDSON
ANOTHER ONE OF THEM SAMPLE'S THAT ITS " ROLLING " NATURE HAS MADE IT A CHOICE FOR MANY OF THE EARLY 90'S BRIGHTEST STREET HIP HOP HEADZ.
THE HORNS HAVE BEEN LIFTED MANY TIMES AND USED AS COMPLETE STABS........WHICH IS THE STRANGE THING ABOUT THIS ONE.....MANY OF THE BIG SAMPLES WITHIN HIP HOP NATURALLY HAVE SPACE WITHIN FOR CHOPPING INTO SINGLE HIT'S OR CHOPS BUT " POT BELLY " IS A FULL SOUNDING SEQUENCE THAT NOT MANY HAVE MANGED TO SPLICE AND RA-ARRANGE.
AS YOU HEAR WITH THE EXAMPLES BELOW IT HAS BEEN LOOPED UP AND USED PRETTY STRAIGHT OR E.Q-ED BY MANY A PRODUCER SO IT BECOME'S THE MAIN HI HAT PATTERN OR HAD THE BRIGHTNESS TURNED DOWN TO BE THE MAIN BASSLINE.
AS WITH MOST THESE THINGS ONE COULD WAFFLE FOR DAYZ........ THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS THIS IS ONE F_CKING FUNKY SAMPLE.
POT BELLY.........
Lou Donaldson
Saxophonist Lou Donaldson unofficially became the flag bearer for the soul jazz, funk movement with his 1970 "hit": Everything I Do Goin To Be Funky(From Now On). This popular tune did not even make this compilation as Donaldson has much funkier stuff in his repertoire. With Melvin Sparks and Lonnie Smith backing him up on the CD’s tracks, it isn’t hard to see the direction that Donaldson was taking his music in. Similar to Lee Morgan, Donaldson was playing music long before the popularity of funk-jazz had reached its zenith. During the early and mid 1960s, when the funk had yet to arrive, Donaldson was experimenting with the Boogaloo sounds with traditional jazz lineups. Just like all of Blue Breakbeat musicians, Lou Donaldson influence reached the Hip-Hop of the 1990s. The 1970 instrumental, Pot Belly, was reused by the Tribe Called Quest for their tune " If The Papes Come". DJ Smash speaks of Lou Donaldson in the CD’s liner notes: "Every revolution needs ammunition, and if funk be your arsenal, Lou made sure there will never be a shortage…..Long after the intellectual crowd goes home, Lou Donaldson will always be in the house, in the groove, in the pocket and forever in the mix".
IF THE PAPES COME
JUST A FRIENDLY........THE BEST OF THE MIXES & REMIXES IN MY BOOK.
HOMAGE TO THE FOOTWEAR OF CHOICE FOR THE 90'S HIP HOP STREET HEAD.
HORN'S ON THE CHOPPED TING.............. VOCAL LINE NICKED BY PRIMO FOR GANG STARR'S " MASS APPEAL "

YES IT'S BEEN SAID A MILLION TIMES BUT REALLY " INNERCITY GROITS " IS ONE OF THE MOST UN-RATED SLEPT ON ALBUMS.....IN SO MANY WAYS IT WAS AHEAD OF THE STYLE'S AND GAMES.......RESPECT DUE....BUT THAT PAY NO BILL'S.
