about this song I can add this more thing… the brass riff was certainly cut off from the most famous song “return to spanish harlem” by tony middleton… it’s all about NY stuff indeed

You’re too kind, P. This was the first Gang Starr song I ever heard so it has a special significance for me.

I recall hearing this on the radio during the 2 hours a week or so of Hip-Hop we used to get here in the UK waaaaaay back in the day. Never found who remixed it, and after spending far too long looking for it, gave up. ML just made my day. Transatlantic props Aaron!

Wow, thanks Antipop!
I like True Master’s version of Afu-Ra & GZA’s “Big Acts, Little Acts” better than Premo’s version.
But yeah, basically never happens.
Appreciate the feedback and the sample info.

Isn’t it a rare occasion where Premo loses by the remix? The name of the track sampled in the remix is “ain’t there something money can’t buy” by Young Holt unlimited. Props for the site!
