Just watched Notorious recently, and I love the scene where Diddy played the Mtume track Juicy Fruit for Biggie in an effort to get a radio single for their first album. I was hoping they’d do a scene where Diddy found this old school elevator music jam from Herb Alpert to find the single for BIG’s 2nd Album, Life After Death. Oh well.

I scope for old samples a fair bit, and this one is pretty hilarious. This part of the song was used for one of Biggie’s biggest anthems, if not his biggest, Hypnotize. And I just read the original was both a #1 hit, and used in the soap opera, General Hospital.  I left enough on the clip so you can hear the cheesy trumpet. Still @ 3:23 Herb hits paydirt with a fat break. The echo on that guitar lick is just monster! Thanks Herb, couldn’t have done it without ya!

It could be the intro, the drum drop, the drum break, the drum solo, the bass hit, the sample, the interlude, the build, the peak, the breakdown, the loop, the skit, the extro... the best part of the song baby!
