Great post! Then again, this is one of my favorite albums of all time, so I may be biased, but who cares? For the entire experience, people may want to also watch John Woo's "The Killer", but be sure to get the english-dubbed version, not the original; that may seem counter-intuitive, coming from a film guy, but it'll make sense as you follow the Cuban Linx album from start to finish.

what's the sample on "Ice Cream" from? can you post it?
ReplyDeleteAh, Matt. You ask a great question which has raged for years.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, there is definitely a sample used for the beat, though nobody knows the actual song.
I'm dead serious.
It's been one of Hip-Hop's greatest mysteries for a quite some time...
There's a confirmed sample for Ice Cream Pt. II, but it most certainly isn't the same as the original.
Someone should ask RZA...
i heard he played that himself with some old piano or something
ReplyDeletei think the vocal sample is a chopped up jackson five "i want you back"
ReplyDeletealthough the melody confuses me
i need that wu-gambinos sample!
ReplyDeleteWu-gambinos isn't a sample!
ReplyDeleteand I heard he sampled an old Ice Cream truck tune for ice cream... although that could be total BS who knows
