R.I.P. Michael Jackson - The King Of Pop (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)
Regardless of what a lot of us might think of his personal life, his influence and dominance in the pop music culture cannot be disputed. Tell me if you're over 30, or even younger, that you didn't run around your house wearing one glove at some point. Or that you didn't have or really want one of those leather joints with all the zippers. Michael Jackson was God to some people. You seen the video clips on the news of when he tours over seas. Craziness.
But this isn't about Michael Jackson, the man. This is about his music. This is about the music he made that directly influenced our own hip hop culture. I threw this together to represent different eras of this man's legacy. Of course, you'll notice many things that are missing but you'll also notice some you never knew. As usual, we put it down in the good old T.R.O.Y. fashion.
Note: On Major Stress - "A Day In Da Stuy", they did not sample that MJ song but the hook was obviously influenced by "I Want To Be Where You Are". And if you don't hear the sample on the Chino XL cut, it's only a small piece of singing that was used.

ReplyDeletegood job Verge
ReplyDeleteFYI, Non-Phixion also sampled "Walk On By" on their song "Cult Leader."
ReplyDeletethanks a ton for posting this, not only for the MJ cuts but also for that Camp Lo- Cooliey High Rmx that been looking for, for the past 13 years!!!
ReplyDeletei knew they sampled a MJ but didnt know which one!
MJ's tracks sound great sampled, its all about how u flip them!
Glad you guys are enjoying this one.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much more that was sampled from MJ, but this compilation had a certain flow to it.
The only thing I wanted on here that just wouldn't have fit on a CD was 'Aint No Sunshine', which intros with the drum break used for 'Rainy Days'.
Definitely throw this on a CD [or in the ipod] for the weekend and bump it. Enjoy!
This just may be the best blog tribute I have seen and heard so far. Thank you for doing this. This proves that despite all the things the media said... it's not just the man... it is the inspiration, the impact he and his art has had on our lives.
ReplyDeleteAmazing work
ReplyDeleteappreciated!
ReplyDeletehey there! you can also check the "Samples vs HipHop" tribute to Michael Jackson on http://samplesvshiphop.blogspot.com/2009/06/king-of-pop-vs-hip-hop.html
ReplyDeletePeace!
Da Youngstas "Stayed Away" samples the opening lines from "I Wanna Be Where You Are." And of course Grand Puba, and more recently MF Doom have broken out into very bad but very funny interpolations of those lines...
