Let me start by saying 2 things:
1. I have been waiting a VERY long time to write this post.
2. I am TOTALLY biased towards the victim.
With that said:
This is one of the few samples I have followed from the beginning. I first saw evidence of this on the victim's twitter (What, you didn't know I had a twitter? YOU AREN'T FOLLOWING ME??? Well go follow me! @stoleaccordion), didn't believe my eyes, and googled it. And low and behold, it was true. I wanted to post it at than moment, but I told myself I'd wait 'till I heard the thief song on the radio. This was 5 months ago. At 1:15 am Thursday, I heard it on 102.7 KIIS FM LA. So here we go! First up: The theif.
Title: Workout
Artist: J. Cole
Release Date: As best as I can tell, June 15 2011
Sample appears at 3:08
The older of you probably recognized the sample here, younger probably did not. I, being a bit of a superfan of the victim, think this is just sooooo wrong. And the original (which I know so well I don't even have to google for the info)
Title: Straight Up
Artist: Paula Abdul (I've beem waiting soo long for an excuse to put that name here)
Realease Date: November 1988
He KILLED this. Why would anyone do this to such a great song? Oh yeah, and the electronic "Doo doo doo doo" sound in the back ground of workout is lifted from "The New Workout Plan" by Kanye West. I would expound, but honestly, I don't care. Phew. Rant over.
