Eric B & Rakim In The Ghetto (MCA) 1990
Cool tune by Eric B and Rakim from the old skool! Uses a very tasty sample from a great album by 24 Carat Black called 'Ghetto: Misfortune's Wealth' Rakim in full steam here being the lyrical master that he is. If you want some real music pick up the 24 Carat Black album as well.

Jamiroquai Too Young To Die (Sony Soho Square) 1993
This is serious modern funk classic. Jamiroquai back in the early days when he seemed to be a lot more politically aware and didn't own 5 supercars..strange how things change with money...

The Pharcyde Passin' Me By (Delicious Vinyl) 199
What a great record this is by The Pharcyde. I think it's safe to say 'they don't make 'em like this anymore' Samples Quincy Jones' 'Summer In The City' as the main riff..

Big Daddy Kane The Lover In You (Mr Cee's Remix) (Cold Chillin') 1991
'The Lover In You' is a track taken from Big Daddy Kane's Prince Of Darkness album from 1991. This is the remix which uses the classic samples from Loose Ends' 'Hangin' On A String' Some wicked lyrics in this but then what would you expect from one of the best and most versatile rap artists of all time?..

Loose Ends Time Is Ticking (Look How Long) (Ten) 1990
The first track off the 1990 album 'Look How Long' which is a cd everyone should own! There's some really good songs on this album-'Don't You Ever Try To Change Me' 'Love Controversy' 'Don't Be A Fool' Well worth buying for the £3-£4 you can pick it up for.
Loose Ends Time Is Ticking
Mary J Blige I'm The Only Woman (My Life) (MCA) 1994
This is Mary J Blige's tune using Curtis Mayfield's 'Give Me Your Love' and she does very well with this. Real soul from Mary J instead of the whining we are now used to from her..
