The State of Hip Hop

Re: Sampling - how far is too far?

When you sample Pachelbel Canon.

[info]midwinter, great authority on all things both musical and ridiculous, is this song a Palauan anomaly or does it exist stateside? There's rapping, there's a chorus with what sounds like a choir singing, "I'll see you when I get there," and there is, of course, the sampling of Pachelbel Canon.

Please advise.

Speaking of music, my husband wants to know all about this "Uncle Sam, Leave Those Pot Smokers Alone" song.

It's a reggae song that is about pot smoking and how the U.S. needs to either legalize marijuana or at least not enforce the laws.

Here are the lyrics. Profound.

I have no idea! I'm sorry.

That's ok. Preliminary google searching turned up nothing. I'm sure it'll be on about 86 more times today, though, so I'll try to listen more closely to the lyrics and report back.

Also? "Google searching" makes me sound 85 years old. You know, that newfangled google searching that all the kids are doing on the interweb.

It's over here too. I've heard it, I believe. There's also one that samples Fur Elise. *facepalm*

Hey wait, I remember this song! And I liked it!

I *think* it was on the soundtrack for that movie with Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins. (Yes, you read that right.) Fuck. What was that called?

Ha! Nothing To Lose! I know that because Tim Robbins was in it. So I kind of had to see it.

The video was good. I do remember that. And from Google...

Coolio: CU When You Get There

Shut up. I like that song. Actually, I like any song that samples classical music. Which is why I know that Michael Jackson song "Will You Be There" (Beethoven's 9th, and not the Ode to Joy either). And why I love "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve (okay, not classical music, but it's played by an orchestra).
