Sample & Flip #8

"Sample & Flip" has been a minute, but he's back with a sweet one.

There is a Dilla thread through this one, the early clue is Detroit x L.A. x France.

One of my favourite beats from the late producer's legendary beat-catalogue is his 'Show Me What You Got' instrumental that got picked up by Busta Rhymes for his 'Anarchy' LP...

Just sooo killah! It wasn't really that necessary to bless the track with Busta's flow; it's more like the other way round. However, he does an admirable job...

Stacey Epps has some cool jams; not a formidable back catalogue, but there are some fine moments.

One of my picks is her floaty trip 'Eye' from the 5-star 'Madvillainy' LP with L.A. City compadre Madlib the Beatkonducta...

Great video too.

Anyhow, I have digressed slightly from the true path.

Ms. Epps has a jam with Madlib entitled 'Skin'. Brief and brilliant AND produced by Dilla (that 'Show Me...' beat again!)

Madlib does a switch up in his own style on the all-time lyrics from Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's legendary 'The Message'

One of my faves at the mo'...

Here's the latest incarnation of the sample.

Robert Glasper is a jazz musician form the U.S. who is a noted Dilla fiend, even recording entire suites of the producer's music.

From late in 2010, here is 'Dilla Shine' featuring Zynzelay...

Lets tie the laces on this one.

Stereolab do some damn fine music, and the sample that you can hear interpolating it's magical textures through these Dilla joints is their jam 'Come Play In the Milky Night'.

Psychedelic, beautiful and unique, I never get sick of this source material jam...

Like Run DMC; there it is.

Oh, and bonus 'Lib tune, 'Infinity'...

"Sample & Flip" says "PEACE".
