D-Nice Presents True Hip-Hop Stories: Masta Ace - Composing The Symphony

Masta Ace Talks With D-Nice Discussing His Role In Creating The Classic Juice Crew Recording “The Symphony”. On a side note, I’ve seen Ace twice live in concert, and I can tell you that this dood is as passionate as an emcee comes. Last time he was in Toronto he did a monster 3 hour set and I swear he woulda gone on all night if he coulda.

T.I. ft. Rihanna - Live Your Life


Check out the video below for the original sample to this joint… Just Blaze has GOT to be embarrassed about where he found and listened to this song for the first time. I think I like ‘O-Zone’s” music video better!!

Don’t get it TWISTED, Lenny Williams is the truth… It shouldn’t be too tough gettin both the artist and producer behind this sampled smash

80 Blocks From Tiffany’s 1/8


Dope documentary features Brooklyn streets as never seen before. An “Esquire” magazine expose brought to life examines the behind-the-scenes of the day to day lifestyles of New York street gangs and explores the actual police interaction and surveillance of the gangs. Pretty interesting and hilarious peice of history. I won’t post the whole shit but you can cop the rest on YouTube.

Name That Sample: Billy Brooks - Fourty Days


Ok, this one shouldn’t be too difficult. There have been a couple chop ups of this classic track and they all sounds very similar to the original. Any guesses?

Name That Sample - SSO - Faded Lady

Ok, this is no brain buster but I thought peeps would get a kick outta hearing the original. They did rip off job of puff daddy proportions but its still a hot track so I ain’t gonna hate too hard.

Name That Sample!: David Ruffin - Common Man


This one should be pretty easy, sampled on a record by one of the top five dead or alive.

Name That Sample!: Marvin Gaye - Distant Lover

A certain MC/Producer sampled this Marvin joint on his debut LP, with a record that he prolly wrote after another long-ass shift working at one of his former dead end jobs. Can you name this sample??
