Is this what's passing off as a sample these days? That was a huge chunk of the track, and they didn't bother to be creative about using the sample. What a waste. There wasn't anything remotely special about their lyrics; I didn't hear a single clever turn of phrase, or anything that even comes close to originality. Same ol' tired material.
To quote the Autobot Jazz:
"Do it with style or don't bother doing it."

Oh, well... as long as PM Dawn gets paid, I guess it's all good.

Are they getting paid??

[Cozmo D]

If they are, I hope it's HUGE!!!

Sounds like a mixtape though, which means dinero nada.

[Hero1]

You're probably right, but money issues aside, these guys don't seem to be working very hard at their craft. Those Louisville guys (Get It Right Records) who made "Lindsay Lohan Freestyle" a coupla years ago have no backing at all that I know of (Da Volunteers have 8 Ball & MJG producing them), yet Get It Right Records' songs have more appeal than anything Da Volunteers have available for listening at their site.
I will say, though, that Da Volunteers' Jackie Chan was funny. Make sure you check that out.

And by the way, I hope this trend ends soon, where rappers talk for five minutes over the music before they start rapping. If they have so much to say, they shoulda written another rhyme.

Can't argue with any of that. Hopefully it blows up and Be gets paid.

personally i think the mix is very good. but i can c what u haters b sayin. what we have is prince b singing about something so beautiful and tragic and singing it in his beautiful way; about missing his girl or ex-girl and having to fictionalise his world and imagine her emotions cos she is not with him...but these rappers are pissing all over it talkin bout getting money and hustling..i get that. but i like the beat. its tight.

I agree! They basically just rapped over the entire first two verses. Yes, money = good, but the song still sucks. Although I agree with Andy that they're "pissing all over it talkin bout getting money and hustling", but I don't think there's anything good about the beat. It's not very creative at all; it sounds like every other beat on the radio.

[atma]

yeah, what a pathetic track. i'd be embarrassed to sample something that blatantly and mindlessly

[TrEEtheRealest]

I can't believe Be let Dr. Giggles rap over that sample! Oh...wait..that's not Dr. Giggles. Sorry.

Goddamn that was 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I'm so sick of all these fools now days talking about 2000-2001 as being back in the day or old school 5 or 6 years don't mean shit and it ain't old school!

Are you shocked or something? Very few of today's musical artists (and even fewer of their fans) have any sense of history. For them, what came last year passes for history. You can't honestly expect them to have any regard for what came before they even knew what music was, because they still don't know what music is. A couple of years ago, I heard a song, I think it was called "Flip," that sampled Ms. Pac Man as a component of their beat. Ms. Pac Man! That's not imaginative; it's just plain dumb.

not shocked just sick and tired of hearing it.

Most people I know who rap have no clue about the history of it. Most will say they know who Rakim is (probably because Magazines always declare him one of the best rappers ever), but they have no clue who Eric B. is. They have no idea who any artists are..even from the 90s when they were alive! I've read many interviews with modern rappers and there were a few who said they don't care about the old school and where hip hop came from. They said they were only in it to make "the paper".
