My dog, or some other being I have absolutely no control over, has apparently eaten that "official" post I made reference to last time. It doesn't even matter that I don't have a dog...or a post---I'm sticking to that as my pathetic excuse.
However, to make up for my underachieving bloggery ways, I am bringing you the second installment of Souled On Samples. Damn the sophomore jinx and the fact that sequels almost always suck---I trust that you'll dig these anyway, soul children...

damn. that's gonna be on replay for a while.
thank you

Love from South London
tha Ill MF
That Billy Stewart joint is crazy! I can't hear anyone over this except Ghostface.
I think you've broken the sophomore curse with this one. I'd never heard the full "Be Real Black For Me," but the sample in "On My Block" has always been one of my favorite samples. Gotta love that beautiful piano line...
Ooooh I LOVE the Mel & Tim track. What does Madlib actually DO anyway? well i guess he doesn't claim to be anything but a loop digger. lol. thanks Scholar.
oh right, i forgot, Jay Z too...ugh...
scholar! yeah man skool dem heads. peep this my playlist right hurr. I kinda have the same samples idea. great minds :)

Writer---Thanks.
Flood---Thanks for the props. It's true---I've worked very hard to earn praise for being lazy.
Vik---That ZZ Hill song IS pretty fucking amazing. I think it might have been Feed Me Good Tunes who put me on to this a while back. He's got some other great songs like "Chokin' Kind", but this one is probably my favorite. I have a much cleaner version than the one I posted---I actually upped the wrong mp3. If you want it, let me know.
Ill---Thanks for the love. 1
Zilla---Ghostface usually sounds dope over soul samples, but this was an especially good choice for him.
Read your interview at 33 Jones. Glad to see that heads are starting to recognize.
Adam---I actually had you in mind when I posted that---I remembered that Scarface joint being up on haha a little while back.
Lily---Yeah---digging up original songs can be a little demystifying at times.
IFTC---Great playlist. I actually considered throwing that same Meters track into the mix...weird.
Old school is always dope.
Thx for your sharing.
Mad love from Taiwan.
scholar - if you could email me that track or post it up, i'd be much obliged.
do you have anything else by zz? can you recommend an album of his to look up? i've been lookin around (record stores and the internets) and haven't found much....
PEACE
"be real black for me" is lovely. thanx.
Honey Cone---Thanks for dropping a comment. Music is one of the few things that seems to keep the world unified. Peace.
JB---I just started reading she real cool a couple of weeks ago. Love it. Where the f have I been?
