Same sample different day
Funnily enough Smitty was just asking whether someone had done a ‘Just Blaze’ in the Estelle thread. Turns out, Just Blaze has recently done a Just Blaze for this 08 version of The Light by Common.
I aint hating on Just whatsoever though, because pretty much every sample he has supposedly ‘jacked’ off someone else, he has killed 10 times better(yes the P.S.A beat fucks up that Blackmoon song). Anyways I rather like this Common track, but it basically ended up serving as a reminder of how much I like that sample in this Lupe Fiasco song. This song is pretty much the sole reason I started checking for Lupe, and is the only reason I continue to check for him as I dont like 90% of his stuff (smh @ The Cool). Who you’s reckon flipped the sample better ?

Consequence used this sample too, last year on Pretty Little Sexy Mama. I agree with you on Just Blaze making most shit sound better, PSA vs Stay Real is a good example. I wish Buckshot was on the Hov track though ay. Sidebar… I always get fascinated by R&B tracks sampling songs previously made into famous hip hop tracks and who did it better, e.g Ashanti vs everyone. *feels a new blog coming on*

^ oh bro, that statement deserves its own post for sure. Goddamn Ashanti’s versions of every good 90’s rap song got kinda ridiculous
although the homie e-dub may big to differ… *whispers* “…muuurdaahh inc…” LOL
