Dear List:
Saw new video on BET's PLanet Groove @ 8:30- ish thursday . Girl named
Davina the song is from the Hoodlum soundtrack. Slammin. Its out on
12" with accapella and remixes feature Raqekwon on one and xzhibit on
another. The core riff comes from a song by Cal Tjader called "Django"
. Ive heard of this before but i cant place it. I am afraid to buy
Cal Tjader and(for that matter) Tito Puente because based on my
experience with Jazz dance classics it is too "latin " for my taste as a
hiphopper cruising for Jazz samples. I bet this Sample is from an
intro before the "Latin" business Kicks in.
Upshot :
I Tito puentes version of "pusherman" on cubop funky in the hip hop
sense? What Cal Tjader pieces should a man with an Eps check for?
