Bad Mother Funker

Titled Bad Mother Funker, you know what your getting. With so many sample friendly parts; including a nice drum break, horn sections, funk guitars, vocal quotes and a very nice bassline your sure to find something you like!

As far as I can tell this sample hasn’t been used in any big industry tracks, which is quite suprising given the popularity of the artist among people like Just Blaze, The Beastie Boys and Dr. Dre. So, here we have an amazing sample, that so far is unherd of to the general public, and is ichting to be sampled by someone who can turn it into a hit!

As always, please post up your flips in the Forums here to get some honest, friendly feedback.

His equipment set up consist of a MPC 5000, Roland Fantom Module, Motif Module, Korg Keyboard and more.

Something interesting that he said is that he doesn’t sample because it cuts into his check. He enjoys having 100% of the payment of the beat going to him.

Their videos are always entertaining. What are your thoughts?

The book is huge with over 400 pages of images. With my attention span, it took me a couple sittings to go through the whole thing. The book has some pretty cool images. It has a section labeled “F#@k Kanye”, where it just has all type of quotes from the media about Kanye giving bad performances, crowds booing him, etc. I thought it was interesting he put that in there.

I didn’t show this in the video. But also look  out for the “naked alien chicks” which is how they are labeled in the book. The book was well worth the purchase. You should check it out.

I have heard the name Sean Garrett, but didn’t know who he was. To my surprise, Wikipedia says he has written Usher’s “Yeah!”, Ciara’s “Goodies”, Chris Brown’s “Run It!”, and much more. I know I will be keeping a look out for dudes name.

My fingers hurt just looking at this video. Those pads aren’t that soft.

What do y’all think?

Nina-Simone Sinner Man

Her soulful lyrics, amazing compositions and sheer passion made her the amazing success she became from the 50’s right up until the late 90’s. Although she has been sampled and covered by many people over the past few decades, this sample we have for you today is so packed full of material that your guaranteed to make something unique and interesting!

The sample is entitled Sinnerman, and derives from an old church song her mother used to sing when she was a Minister, to help promote the confession of sins. The sample is extremely unique and can only be classified as a ‘Spiritual’

One of the more famous examples of this track being sampled was created by Kanye West for Talib Kweli, which ended up forming the track Get By off the Quality album. Another big name that saw use of the track is Timbaland, who cleverly used the similarity for the words Sinnerman and Timbaland to great use to create his track, Oh Timbaland. As well as being sampled this track has appeared in many feature films and television programs over the years, some of which are; Oceans 12, Miami Vice, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Scrubs and Life On Mars.

There is no doubt that this is an amazing track with many change ups, breakdowns and vocal snippets for everyone to break down and get extremely creative with. As always, please don’t hesitate to upload your ‘flip’ to the Hip-Hop Makers forums for some honest feedback.
