Her ...Great track EJD - certainly one of her best. Her first album "All Hail the queen" has some great tracks (not all mind!)- my personal faves and recommendation for you Steenbeck would be :<br />1. Evil that men do- with KRS-1<br />2. The pros with Daddy-O<br />and probably the best "Wrath of my Madness"...Her 2nd album is a bit hit and miss but also worth a check but I recks EJD has defiitely pulled the top track in "Unity".<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxlXcxwdzS0gremlinfchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777398122363521907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-32032041834104102182010-03-02T23:54:05.541+00:002010-03-02T23:54:05.541+00:00Check this out Steenbeck form QUeen Latifah:

The word "poisoooooon" is a descendent of a big band hornline in my opinion.ejaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375968795284771538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-1482716244949810222010-03-02T22:32:50.158+00:002010-03-02T22:32:50.158+00:00Queen Latifah is ace ('How Do I Love Thee'...Queen Latifah is ace ('How Do I Love Thee' is one of my fav tracks evah...) <br /><br />I have a ninja tunes selection sorted for when it gets less busy on here... then I'll do a Tommy Boy Mix.saneshanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876333195233262885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-20688724650895972242010-03-02T22:11:42.327+00:002010-03-02T22:11:42.327+00:00Queen Latifah - I really liked this!

I think I nommed QMS a while back on RR too, maybe for cruel songs. <br />Interesting to consider the links between big-band sounds and Hip hop- perhaps funk and R&B were the conduits but but I always heard big band swing and be-bop in there too, especially with the great producers like Pete Rock and DJ Premier, and the hip hop I like most shows these connections most obviously. Essentially big band dance bands and be-bop groups were doing the same thing I guess, trying to generate dance floor electricity and hype.nilpferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818100352162861468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-25225030669813988472010-03-02T18:12:24.897+00:002010-03-02T18:12:24.897+00:00Did you post this recently, or was it Shane's?...Did you post this recently, or was it Shane's? No it's form Xen Cuts isn't it? I started listening to it on Spotify last week. <br /><br />Yes! "Sliding across the dancefloor", also this idea of continuity, like a circle or the wheels of a train.ejaydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375968795284771538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-91896197013491479012010-03-02T18:02:42.502+00:002010-03-02T18:02:42.502+00:00Nice clip- reminds me of T love's QMS.

Think you're right that hip-hop producers were on to that Lionel Hampton sound- with Hampton it was the trombones "bending" notes upwards to slur the beat and give you that "sliding across the dancefloor" moment, whereas producers slow down or speed up their samples accordingly, but the principle is the same.nilpferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818100352162861468noreply@blogger.com
