That song was sooo cool. I remember that was the first time I heard someone use "phat" in a song (I didn't get out much cry) Thats back when BlueNote was getting nice royalty checks.

They were one of the few Hip-Hop acts I dug at that time. Jazzy, funky, and they got the ill lyrics. nod

Does anyone have the answer to were the music came from on that song? I'd like the original song. Also Eric B and Rakim's "Check the Technique"

It's not true. In fact, Ladybug appears on Sweetback's latest project, which was released this year.

According to some track deconstructionists, there's something from the Blow Your Head intro (Damn Right I Am Somebody - Fred Wesley and the JBs) and the horns are from a tune called Strechin' by James Williams (Blue Note).

Does anyone have Cherrywine's music? If so, is it good?

You met King? I saw him DC maybe two or so years ago when he spinned at FIVE. I love every thing this man touches.

Butterfly (now Cherrywine) does a really cool track on Kings' Adventures in Lo-Fi album called "the sound". That album's worth checkin out if you haven't heard it.
Change it one more time..
