truth hurts sample/erick sermon sample
Hey guys, nice to meet you all. Just wanted to let you know that both samples are from soundtracks of hindi films. The language of the samples is hindi, the main language of India.
If you have any questions about any other samples from indian films feel free to ask - I have tons of Indian film soundtracks. You know who else collects them on vinyl ? rick rubin, lol!
Anyhooo, the truth hurts sample is actually a tiny portion of an old song from the indian film Jyoti , the song's title is "thoda resham lagta hai" (on the hmv/saregama label which is owned by emi ) which translates to: you need a little silk ( you have to have heard the entire song to know the full meaning) feel free to ask for translations too lol. Singer: Lata Mangeshkar. Universal Music in India put out a remix of the old track with entirely new lyrics, keeping only the verse used in the addictive sample, plus they stole back dr dre's music, lol! You can find this one on an album called UMI-10 volume 3 track: "kaliyon ka chaman"
As for the erick sermon sample, it is from an old film called "taj mahal" the song is a qawwali called "chandi ka badan". This is also on the hmv/saregama/emi label. The sample used "kisi ko khud khushi ka shauq ho to kya kare koi" is only a 5 second part of this song ( not a repeated verse). Singer: Asha Bhosle (check out the cornershop song brimful of asha - its a tribute to her) It translates to "if someone fancies suicide, what is one to do?"
Hope this was helpful. Feel free to ask anything else in this thread. Happy Holidays folks.
