get your freak on hindi sample
Yo Jay,
I'm sorry, but I've been looking for that sample a very long time too, if I ever find the original I'll post the info. The first time I heard the sample actually was not in Missy's "get your freak on" but from an episode of Xena ( yeah yeah i admit it, i used to be a fan lol).
The song itself is a ghazal (persian/hindi poem set to music) and the lyrics on Xena were :
"maut mujhko gawara hai lekin, kya karoon dam nikal ta nahin, daal do apna aanchal...." but I'm almost positive that this itself is just an introductory couplet to the original song (very comon in ghazals) The intro sets the mood for the song to come but is not necessarily part of the ghazal. Loose translation : death to me is tolerable, however it does not come, cover me with your veil..."
Could be that Timbaland just sampled it from Xena (or one of the xena soundtracks) , i don't know, but its the exact same sample ' "maut mujhko...."
Also, I'm 99 percent sure its not the same song as on Sean Paul's street respect. (i'm talking vocal samples) Anyways, I'm sorry I couldn't help you much, but it's all the info I got. Like I said, when I found out, you will. Take care all.
By the way thx mkd. The artist on the slum village track is Raje Shwari - she also did the hindi vocals on Jay-z's bounce and the ching ching remix w/Timbaland & Ms Jade too. (she's the chick in the taxi in the Slum Village disco music video)
