Gone Fishin’: All Samples Cleared (Except 2!)

Wednesday Mar 29 11:43 AM CST posted by xxl staff

Yellow Nigga, a beat digger? Not really, homie. I’m just a grown man who enjoys the sounds that provide the beautiful backdrops to some of your favorite rap tunes. You see ever since the blessed day, my mello, my man Chairman Mao hipped your boy to the sampled crazed, breakbeat world of hip-hop, I’ve become a certified addict—addicted to music. If a producer looped it, chopped it or screwed it—I want it. Whether on vinyl, CD or MP3. Give up the goods—just step. I’m a fiend.

And, as we all know by now, Ghostface has returned with that crack, as the kids say. Few MC’s have a finer taster’s choice of picking the proper beats to back-up their formidable flows. Ghost is truly a soul baby and anything he busts his larynx over I must possess. It’s the reason why I’ve feverishly over the past week been gathering all the songs that have been used in the creation of his latest incredible LP, Fishcale.

Enough talk already—listen to the music. Or play yourself and don’t. I don’t care. I got more records to buy on-line.

“The Return of Clyde Smith (Skit)”

Jack McDuff “Summer Dream” (1976)
(The idiots at Def Jam cleared the wrong song.)

“Shakey Dog”

“Crack Spot”

“R.A.G.U.” feat. Raekwon
(Produced by Pete Rock)

The Delfonics “The Look of Love” (1968)

“Whip You With A Strap”
(Produced by J Dilla)

“Momma” feat. Megan Rochell

P.S. My blog is better than yours. My mag is better than yours. I do both well and I’m still in charge. La la la la la. Sha from MTV. La la la la la. Don’t you ever get mad at me.

I can’t wait for Ghost to pay you a visit. Nobody warned you before doing this? You don’t shit on the gods and get away with it. I’d be looking for some relocation programs right about now. Dipshit.

Young Nitley says:

Hataz! Catch up with your kind! All yall in here bringin’ all that ana talking about “ghost paying a visit” and “snitching”…stop flaugin’!!! Nobody’s gettin’ screwed over because of this. Hell, the Rza included several of these original samples in the first track of The Rza Instrumental Experience, in addition to several others originals that the Wu sampled from. Would Rza do that if he didn’t want us to know these “secrets” that some of yall idiots is talkin about?

I’m no legal scholar, so I can’t say the implications of a song “not being cleared”, but as for all the other tracks on here, it’s gotta be str8. At any rate, nobody is exposing secrets. It’s only a secret if you’re walking around with the brain of a crash dummy.

To summarize, you need to stop flaugin, catch up with your kind, and get some money for your damn kids. And if you ain’t god kids then you got family. Stop flaugin.

from one beat digger to another…i’m glad you know your sh*t. but yo…why are you airin’ cats out on some “these 2 samples weren’t cleared” type isht ? and why are you droppin’ o-dubs name in it like “ask him” ? i mean, you DO realize that even *if*…on the off chance that your assumptions are correct…and the publishing holders won’t trip off of the fact that the wrong songs were cleared…if the information from this blog o’yours gets out and certain people start having thier lawyers contact def jams lawyers over the issue…that’s still money coming out ironman’s pockets…don’t you ? and lets not even consider the worst case scenario…they pull a biggie “ready to die” job on him and pull fishscale off the racks. that’s no bueno right there doggie…and i bet you any amount of money that there’ll be some people up and def jam (ghost and his folks included) who are gonna want some answers (from you).

i’m just sayin’…..

I think its a good blog…I don’t understand what people are cryin about…all of (well most of) the information is in the cd booklet…with the exception of like two…and then he added his own corrections and even on one of those..the people will still get paid…

And as for those two that weren’t cleared..you’d be a fool to not know where that joint came from..the jint couldn’t have been clearer…perhaps he should have said “ask Camron and Kanye” I don’t know…but I think its a well done piece…and with that..

Peace…

drum says:

Good looking on the finds. This album is a classic. “Big Girl” is my favorite cut–Ghost is like unfrozen caveman producer, just looping up some sections and rapping over other people singing. Who else does that shit? Nobody!

And to all the people with their panties in a twist over this shit: get over it. The days when you could keep a sample secret forever are over, and have been for a long time. Information is meant to be shared. What good is it to be a sensei without any proteges?

damn says:

if i was ghost i’d be pissed that doom gave him a recycled beat (milli bros. is the same beat from “1,2…1,2″ by the monsta island czars and featured in special herbs as pointed out in the post)…maybe its just another diss aimed at M.I.C. by doom, but a joint featuring a verse by the gza deserves only the freshest of original beats

btw…listing “fenugreek” as the break for “milli bros.” does not count…it is the beat, not the source

Wussy Killa says:

All the whining pussy’s that whine about snitching and not sharing information can fuck themselves. Since when does sharing information become illegal. i don’t agree with the excessive comments regarding what samples weren’t cleared but whether it’s news or no news it’s good press. Look at all the assholes on here talking and probaley bought or even downloaded the fishscale albulm for free.

Music doesn’t even belong to the collectors or even the artist themselves 85% of the time. Keep the history alive for generations to come and maybe we’ll have something to look forward to as old farts from this fast-food generation at the present.

Build bridges, not burn!

As DJ Premier would’ve said…
“Yall fagot ass muthafuckas is violatin’ straight up and down!”

The beauty of beat diggin is when you come across a track that someone used by accident. When the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and you get chills and goosebumps and shit, thats what it’s all about.

I dont necessarily agree with cats putting the originals on blast like that. It’s cool to give a few treats to give a muthafucka a direction to go in but these muthafuckas givin the whole game away!

Get your fingers dusty and have fun. You might find the next fat beat. If you did would you want cats in your crates? Fuck naw!

Microcosm says:

I agree with the other cat, “STOP BITCHIN” One more time you blind bats, SAMPLES ARE IN THE BOOKLET! Good work crate diggin yo but come on surely you can dig deeper than Ghost tracks. Ill be interested in what you dig next or are you just a one note pony?

drewlife says:

Wow. Amazing that most of Ghost’s tracks used the whole original song, without much rearrangement. Obviously, bigger studio produced beats were laid on top, samples magnified, sped up/slowed down and mixed for a bigger sound on the album. But this shows how strong those originals stand on their own. The arrangement and musicality are sick. I could listen to this stuff on its own. While jacking entire 70s soul tracks as samples keeps our traditions alive and reminds people of what that era produced, producers could put their energy on new arrangements and compositions, working on their musicality and creating now/present/future bangers. But as Ghost said he’s a 70’s baby and old soul so this fits him to a tee. Easy.

Doom also used a different sample of that Bobbi Humphrey song for the John Robinson song “Outta Control”, though, I’ve only seen the video for that on YouTube and I don’t know if that song is out anywhere else… But, that’s the song he samples.

Also, Edan as well as Prince Paul sampled The Dells song.

Dana Axelrod says: Subscribed to comments via email

“Ghost” did not use a “sample” of Axelrod’s “Wandering Star”! They used the entire fxxkin
song and rapped over it. All of them can come over to my place to discuss this matter, then
pay my father (who is 78) if they really believe in their freedoms and what they rap all about; while Axelrod continues to lay his
entire soul out while writing (what’s a real
artist to do?) then quite a few are so darn
smart to steal as the Record Companies laugh to the bank; as they steal from their great talents.

David Axelrod gave his soul to make this music!
Can’t “Ghostface” at least give some of the “dough” as they have “sampled” enough of his work; this is not the only tune!
At least those in the “know” are not surprised,
as Axelrod has been sampled by over 300 artists!
FYI- Great lawyers are extremely expensive.
However, Lil Wayne (Dr. Carter), Dre (Next Episode), and a “few” others actually licensed
Axelrod’s creations! Now, if he could just get paid for the legit ones first!!!!! What? Lil Wayne cannot tell his people pay this man his
$.034 from my sales. When did the music artists turn to bizness thieves? Someone out in this Hip-Hop/MC/Beat/Rapping world MUST have a little decency or class, I would like to believe.

As Axelrod has said, “I am flattered; but SHOW ME the money”! If it is so easy, sit down at a blank score pad and write for 30 instruments.

And no B.S. about color, etc.. The ONLY color in music is the black and white of a keyboard!!
(along with the “green” which must look nice in some one Else’s pocket).

I will keep at it. May the most honorable truly win!
