the song: the sample:

I still can’t process that he’s gone 😞😔😫😭

me neither man 😭😭

Crate digging and sampling, man... Two of the most beautiful artforms within music. 💯

Then play this

One of my favorite D’Angelo songs. 4 minutes of pure soul that brings me to tears damn near each time I listen.

this is an interpolation but yoooo that’s dope

Thank you for this… and hm it’s only the saltines rushing to correct you while everyone else is just enjoying a new D’Angelo discovery #nooticing

of course! just tryna celebrate my favourite artists incredible talent 🥹

Wow! Never knew this was a sample and this is one of my favorite songs

Loving all these anecdotal finds and educations over the last week. It’s like a treasure map.

@EricsElectrons It is brilliant. Seeing "interpolation" in the comments. Is that correct, or was it meant to be interpretation? I am a music hack, so honest question.

@EricsElectrons comment would be right, it is technically an interpolation, not a sample!

@EricsElectrons Thanks.

Yeah wasn’t a sample but honestly I love the fact that D Angelo’s version did it justice. So many remakes suck.

How is this the first I’ve ever heard this?!??!

Can’t forget his cover of Roberta Flack’s “Feel Like Makin’ Love.” Both of them passed this year 😔💔

No way! Great pull

Thank you for this!

This is crazyy damn

Smooth like skin moisturized by shea butter.

Incredible.

😩😩😩 gone too soon.

D's lack of originality during the 90s is why he was never my favorite neosoul artist when I was growing up. From interpolations to him covering 'Cruisin'' and 'Feel Like Making Love', I would've liked to see more of D's originality...

I can’t get behind this take ngl🫣. that’s like saying because Stevie wonder was sampling Bob Marley in master blaster he wasn’t original! D’Angelo was a student and created a whole new sound, revolutionizing a genre. his portfolio is small but potent 🫶🏾

It wasn't for you to get behind. Also, poor analogy. Is Master Blaster an interpolation or a cover of a Bob Marley's 'Jammin'? No. Master Blaster was a tribute to Bob, but still an original song.

master blaster is not a cover. send it on is still an original song

Master Blaster is not a cover or an interpolation, which is why your analogy was poor. Send it on is an interpolation, which obviously detracts from its musical originality.

thank you thank you thank you

haard !!!

They must have cleared the publishing rights for these interpolations, no?

That was a sample and one of the most expensive (Chocolate Milk drums / horns- thanks Soul Brother) Kool and the Gang vinyls (record collectors know - original print only) too! I am learning this today!
