the tide changer

i was going to do a post about really lazy sampling that in some cases can be completely justified, but as you can see i didn't.

"the tide changer" is one of the ones i always show to people i don't think are going to be that into my fresh beats. on the other hand, it was really a bitch to find a vocal track to fit over this. among the ones i was excited for but just didn't work out were busta's touch it and biggie's hypnotize. here, bussa bus's vocal delivery is pretty constrained within the "bar" structure music follows, so obviously it sounds pretty good, although if anyone with remixing knowledge is reading this they probably know i kind of took the easy way out.

this is also the second song i've put together partially using ableton, i.e. making the beat in reason and then putting everything together using ableton live so i can take advantage of their orgasmic wharping function.

oh yeah and when i originally made the beat i didn't label what sample it was, and i had to skim through 271 songs before i found it. you're welcome to all those people who don't listen to the samples anyways.

oh yeah, that lazy post is forthcoming.


the sample (from the previously championed Stax/Volt single collection):

also, check my boy steven's blog, where he posts pictures with hidden vags in them. two thumbs up in my book.
