Name That Beat: Bringing You The Realness Since '07
Hi-de-ho, gang! Welcome to this week's installment of Name That Beat. Last week's sample was eagerly answered by a few of y'all, however, I can only award the prize to DJ Diva since she had the first correct answer of "What Can You Bring Me?" by Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band, sampled by Brand Nubian for their "Punks Step Up to Get Beat Down." Good job to everyone else who offered other tracks that this sample was used for. In the future, just remember that if the song you have in mind sounds like a straight jack of the original, e.g. ATCQ's "Rock Rock Y'all," that is not what I'm thinking of.
This week's sample is below. To be correct you must include in your answer:
Good luck!

Quibian Salazar-Moreno | March 5, 2008 9:06 AM | Permalinkwait...it could have been used for the beginning of "Scenario" too. Leaders of the New School.

A girlfriend of mine went out with Diamond D in high school LMAO
the song which was stated by DJ Stylus is American Tango by Weather Report
the sample was used by Diamond D and Qtip on the song K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid)
that album was Stunts, Blunts & Hip-Hop

DJStylus | March 5, 2008 7:42 AM | PermalinkNo one's gotten the whole answer yet...
ill Mami | March 4, 2008 11:35 PM | PermalinkWell if its not Black and Blue (hey I thought you would run Brand Nubian back-to-back, myself) then I will say its O.C. - Can't Go Wrong.

DJ Diva | March 4, 2008 11:04 PM | PermalinkWeather Report
John Murph | March 4, 2008 8:31 PM | Permalink@ DJ Stylus:
I do love me some Weather Report LOL
Good job on the guess, although I wasn't thinking of Brand Nubian. Do y'all really think I'd do another Brand Nubian song two weeks in a row?
There's another song I'm thinking of when it comes to this sampled track. Any takers?
ill Mami | March 4, 2008 8:23 PM | PermalinkIll Mami loves her some Weather Report.
Who does it for you? Joe Zawinul? Jaco? Wayne?
Brand Nubian sampled "American Tango" on their scathing black cop treatise "Black and Blue". I need to dig that album back out again. Or maybe not. Might influence me to kirk out on somebody, joe.
"I'm back, ninjas!!"
