Tune of the day-Kool and the Gang
Tune of the day
Their better days were gone, and they were no longer a cutting edge funk band, but what a groove and what a tune!
Best use was by Paid in Live and Lauryn Hill! Dude in Paid in Live was Robert "Kools" son!

Tune of the day-R Kelly
Tune of the day
This and "Happy People" are two of the biggest tunes this decade
Also worth checking is "Your Body's Callin" from way back in the mid 90's plus loads more! Thanks to Frankie Jez for putting R Kelly on my mind this week

Tune of the day-Whitney Houston
Excellent Raphael Saadiq production for an artist who only really started making soul music later in her career in my opinion. That 80's stuff is okay pop-wise but does little for me. Stuff like this and "It's not right it's okay' were huge though!

Tune of the day (and rap lyric of the day) All Natural
Okay, enough fucking around!
This is quite simply one of the best hip-hop records of all time. It was massive for me when it came out and I still have a lot of affection for the legendary group and this legendary track. The Ramsey Lewis loop, used by many, is absolutely killer. And the lyrics are as good as it gets. I've included the samples of Ramsey Lewis and KRS One, plus the amazing "Julia" by the Beatles that Ramsey covered. Also, there's a short documentary on the amazingly under-rated Chicago crew All Natural referencing this tune. And it's on one of my favourite ever mixes right here here
"Now 50 years down the line, see I'll be chillin
like it ain't no thing, with little shorties on the swings
talkin bout, "My granddaddy had MAD flow
He got some old school, year two-thousand and ten tapes
when he was rockin the shows, and keepin it true
Takin out your granddaddy and his punk ass crew"
Your kid'll get mad, but Wilt didn't run
But what can you say, it's like father like son"

Tune of the day! Janet Jackson/J Dilla
A bonafide classic and a massive influence on hip-hop producers for years after, it is typical that Dilla got little credit for this even though it was his only hit! Jam and Lewis got credit at the grammy's, but the true heads know who was responsible! This was a special tune for me in the Back Bar of Sir Henrys and Janet remains a pop star who always comes up with some good club jams every so often! Q Tips verse is dope too and similar to what he was doing on the Dilla produced "Sometimes" by the Brand New Heavies at the same time; another great tune! Enjoy the other Dilla mix and the original too!
