Dusted Off pt4: The Beatles, Junior Parker, Cypress Hill

I'm sure many would have their own opinions on sampling and music covers etc, all of which would make for a damn good conversation. For me at this present time I am loving how the inspiration (not biting, there's a difference ya know) given off by one song can be tracked through the decades and be responsible for influencing another even with having no direct link.

Here we have The Beatles's 'Taxman' which was later to be covered with a funky soul twist by Junior Parker (and Band), which then went on to inspire Cypress Hill's 'I Wanna Get High' with a loop taken *hmm, strong word* from Mr Parker's version by DJ Muggs most likely. Lord knows how many other "green thumbed" artists were influenced by this track in one way or another ;0)

But the question is, would Cypress Hill have come with that song without the Liverpudlian lads ever doing 'Taxman' in the first place??? hmmmmm........

Fun With Dumb - Dumbfoundead & DJ Zo

Chaundon - Baby Making Music

Excellent album!! Not much more to say on this one. My personal favorites have to be 'We Don't Need' and 'Husky' which is a very well executed concept. That said, the whole LP is pretty flawless.

Failure Is Not An Option

Melodiq - Straight From The Soul - Prod Terem

I have to give props to Melodiq as I've known of his music from the golden days of Soundclick's reign. Since then I've seen and heard him collab with heads like 20syl (another I first heard old soundclick, now known all over the world with his band 'Hocus Pocus'. Yep, him), Pat D & Lady Paradox, Shinobi & The Civil Mics Movement. To name a few. All production here is done by the French veteran that is Terem. I've been checking for him for a good few years now and I can say that if you're into your Hip Hop soul, Jazz, Funk etc etc etc... you'll enjoy these backing tracks as Melodiq brings with his clear, easy to follow and undiluted honest expression with features from artists from the U.S and Europe.
