In every instance these have been songs and artists I’d never heard (or even heard of) before.īut the recordings contained the necessary clues and context, to which I applied some deductive reasoning and research done on freely-available websites. Here’s how I’ve gone about it, in case crowdsourcing isn’t working for you. Not because I’m Brainypants McMusicface to the contrary.
Many times, without what felt like much work, I’ve been able to successfully ID such songs for strangers. There are entire communities-on websites like Wat Zat Song?, Midomi, and Reddit-devoted to crowdsourcing the solutions. They’ve had no luck Googling lyrics or playing the song into Soundhound, Shazam, or friends’ ears. Fresh and Slick Rick's " The Show" and Mantronix's " Needle to the Groove".It’s pretty common in music circles to encounter people who have spent literally decades trying to identify an obscure song on an old mixtape. Other notable appearances include the seminal " Lesson 2 (James Brown Mix)" by Double Dee & Steinski, Doug E. Even now, 28 years after its original release, Fab 5 Freddy's 'Aaaah' is still the primary weapon of choice for DJs when they want to display their skills. It achieved almost instant legendary status as the sound selected by Grand Mixer DST when he first introduced the art of scratching to the world on Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" in 1983, inspiring a whole new generation of DJs to approach the turntable as an instrument in itself rather than simply a tool of the trade. Hidden in the last few seconds of the b-side of this early '80s Hip-Hop artifact is perhaps the most sampled sentence in history.
Beside (1982) The number one spot has to go to Fab 5 Freddy's "Change the Beat (Female Version)". "Aaaah, this stuff is really F-f-f-rrrreeessssssh" " Change the Beat (Female Version)" by Fab 5 Freddy feat.
