Did Anybody Else Like that 90's Group "Arrested Development"? Remember them? They had a couple of hits: "Mr. Wendel" and "Tennessee", to name a few. I used to really like their music a lot, it always was catchy and had a message that was worth listening to. I imagine that the leader of the group, Speech, was not too pleased when he heard that there was a new TV show that had the same name as the musical group that he was a large part of. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I wasn't a huge fan of the group or the album, but I did like "Natural" and "Tennessee." [Edited 4/5/06 21:55pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

its the entire damn song.. It was typical of most rap acts during that time not to credit artists. Hell, now it's very possible Ready to D.I.E. can't be sold at all for refusing to credit and compensate the original artists! http://www.chartattack.co...3/2006.cfm Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I've read that the Beastie's 'Paul's Boutique' album would be impossible to record today. All the samples with all those people having to be paid--the budget would be out of this world. clarification edit [Edited 4/6/06 11:42am] | |

Ironically, or perhaps appropriately, the practice was curbed due to two musicians among the most revered by hip-hop: George Clinton and James Brown. They took legal action in the early 90's that made a lot of people take notice. But now, only the acts with the biggest budgets can use prominent samples. Of course, there are several producers and artists -- the late J Dilla, Madlib, and MF Doom come to mind -- that rely heavily on obscure samples from old R&B songs and even animated shows.

Remember when Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz sampled Steely Dan on their big hit "Deja Vu"? I saw an interview with them afterwards where they said that the band asked for so much money for using that sample that it really soured them on Steely Dan and they subsequently threw out all their Steely Dan records. | |

I have Speech 'first solo album and it's very good, I don't know why his solo career wasn't succesful, there was a terrific track very Prince like, I think that' it's "Feel Real" or something like this.. I've got to find this in my mess. | |

Yeah. . . that was unfortunate for T and G. BUT, since they're not exactly Talib and Mos on the mic, can they REALLY say that it would have been a hit without the Steely Dan hook? I personally doubt it, and I think they should STILL be grateful Steely Dan put them on. But reasonable minds can disagree. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
