Perhaps these Stu Reid Samplers will get a little more regular - every Friday or so? I have a few up my sleeve that I'm itching to share.
This is one that completely blew my mind when I first heard it in a music class a couple years ago. I think what's unique about this pairing is how much a part of the secondary track the primary sample is. More than RJD2's "Smoke & Mirrors" and certainly more than most hip hop tracks featuring samples, Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" is completely built upon the sample hook.
And it's divine. The Fatboy version subtly keys up the original cut a little bit, before cutting it up and graining it out. On the original, Camille Yarbrough sounds melancholy as her voice reluctantly anchors an a cappela intro that becomes a sort of funky lounge singer type jawn. On the sample, she sounds upbeat and bouncy. Two very different takes and styles, and two phenomenal tunes.
Fatboy Slim - Praise You
Camille Yarbrough - Take Yo' Praise
