It’s Sunday and I’m feeling particularly geeked out and inspired after On The Buttons yesterday, so I’ve got my sample/production head on. This all started with me feeling for some Minnie Riperton with my morning coffee, the next thing I’m trying to find out who, over the years, sampled ‘Inside my Love’ that I may not already be aware of. Next thing you know I’m writing this post. This track’s been chopped up and sampled more times than I’ve had hot dinners (that is no way an exaggeration). Not surprising really! Dilla used it on two tracks, including the one below, (that I’m aware of before all you crate digging backpackers jump in to correct me), not to mention Diamond D on the Pharcyde track ‘Groupie Therapy’, Quest’s ‘Lyrics to Go’, Aaliyah ‘Heartbroken’, 2 Pac on ‘Me Against the World’, Intelligent Hoodlum ‘Street Life’ (Return to Life Remix) and Kenny Dope ‘Get on Down’…I could go on and on but, I’ve probably just lost 90% of my readership for over geeking it. Any ways, feel enlightened and enjoy both the original and it’s offspring.
