My brother has a random hip-hop knowledge, in part, inflicted upon him by myself. I was sat in the living room when Fat Joe’s Slow Down (HaHa) popped into my head and like you do I blurted out the ‘HaHa‘ for no real apparent reason.
He looks up and says to me: “Was that what I think it was?” Thinking he is going to return with some obscure indie song he plays Juggaknots Clear Blue Skies to which I’m pretty stoked that 1) my brother could recognise that sample in my voice and 2) that Joey would sample such a throwback joint.
Upon investigation, turns out that both are actually sampled from London-based Soul II Soul’s 1989 hit Back To Life, which upon listen, I’m pretty sure you will be familiar with.
Hope you enjoyed today’s sample school kids.
