[Metal Face]

check out the original. 0:54 second mark. if he actually took it from that performance, i gotta give him props.

17 years later this shyt still bangs..

Jay killed this...

But...Fat Joe had one very close to this...Im surprised this never gets mentioned when Where Im From comes up...

Not gonna lie I was a bit critical after watching the breakdown cause I felt like the sample had everything already which made his job easy but what an ear, to pick that up.

 

[OHSNAP!]

One of the GOAT rap beats, and Jay floated viciously over it. Amen-Ra obvsl stole the beat/sample from Fat Joe's cut tho

because it's quite inferior.

"Where I'm From" is the perfect example of why simplicity in hip hop is often better.

Whenever someone asks why Jay is the GOAT. This is my go to proof.

 

[BaRRyG]

plenty of music left out there to sample. 70s american soul songs aren't the only place to get great samples. foreign countries, live recordings, there's LOTS of shyt that simply hasn't been touched. not to mention how 5 different producers can flip the same song dozens of ways.

nikkas just need to be creative and think outside the box with the samplng

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

obviously one of hov's BEST songs of his career

Might be his best...uncanny the amount of talent
