did cool & dre replay the melody or did they sample it directly? i was watching vh1 and heard a 80's song that sounded very similar to blow. to bad i wasn't paying attention to who the artist/song title was.
(djlarceny) I know exactly what your talking about because the first time I heard the first couple of seconds of the melody I hummed out the rest without previous knowledge of the whole song...
finally!!!! somebody knows what i'm talking about ( problemchild ). my local dj/producer homies are to young to know about stuff like that. when it i heard the original melody on tv, i knew that blow was sample or replayed from that.
But what I'm saying is that the melody is simple and I dount they heard a record and replayed a sample. I made a beat last month and come to find out that the chord progression I used was used in a delfonics record over 30 years ago.. I read a interview where kanye said that some of the beats he co-produced with jon brion sounded so much like a record from the 70's that he was scared to put them out affraid that somebody would and say he sampled them. But I could be wrong. The melody seems too simple to sample to me.
