Watching Notorious, and the part where Lil Cease and crew are laughing at the Juicyfruit song,

got me wondering, do or did east coast cats not vibe with old school like that? Even Biggie seemed to not like the music. He had to be convinced to do the song. I know here on the WC, old school is still big as ever. We pass it down from generation to generation. If people aren't feeling old school like that, whats the reason?

word that ole school is beloved by us mejicans on the westside of thangs. and black people too

It was a shirt inaccurate movie

Biggie carrying a gun on that elevator after hearing about pac got shot like he was ready for call of duty

cause they were regular round the block people, not musicians

That was seperate, doe.

It was an R&B song with a pleasant, melodic beat - that wasn't "hip-hop". It wasn't rugged.
A NY street rapper wasn't comin' like that at the time.

So we should be crediting Puffy with this genius? I guess

We'll give him props for studying the trends, because this was as "Nuthin' But A G Thang" was blowin' up...

...yeah but "I Gotcha Opin (Remix)" still got shade from "street dudes" because Buckshot had the sing-song flow on it. And Buck himself said he did that "for his girl and for his mother to listen to"...Big wasn't that type of dude.

Plus, they at least put a "hip-hop" beat over the Barry sample..."Juicy" is just a sample loop from the Mtume cut - it's a straight up R&B beat.

There's genius in the fact that he used that formula and then went for his own records to use which weren't necessarily the same style of funk

Dr. Dre sampled -

Puff sampled -

he used the synths to, this had been sampled in hip-hop prior to that but it was just the basic drum patterns . . Puff sampled a pop song, used Dr. Dre's template but set the parameters to a completely different sound likely based of his own taste rather than Dr. Dre;s
