The fact that 48 Hrs Ma Dukes is up there really excited me because up until now I’ve been unable to find someone who appreciates that song as much as me. Thanks a lot.

But if I may suggest for you take some time to listen to Frank N Dank’s 48 Hrs again. I think it will absolutely grow on you.

The album I think is overlooked by so many people but the tracks are completely solid in every way and the tracks underneath Frank N Dank will make up for the fact that they don’t always deliver tight lyrics.

As for Champion Sound, I think it’s a masterpiece. And you know what I feel Madlib’s lyrics on The Red everytime I listen to it; and I think it’s one of his best. Madlib’s lyrics are amazing and they’re fool proof. His delivery, extremely creative. The words, toughest shit dropped on Champion Sound in my opinion. I think some slack needs to be chopped down. Lib disguises his lyrics check it out and trust me on this.

About Pharcyde’s “Runnin”. I noticed Eric mentioned Dilla using a Gap Band sample in the track. I just wanted to point out that that’s acually inaccurate. Dilla actually sampled a Brazilian Jazz record. More specifically a Samba by legendary Jazz saxophonist Stan Getz called, “Saudade Vem Correndo”. He actually lifted the guitar loop from the guitarist’s solo section in the tune. That same progression also occurs alot throughout the entire tune. He also sampled some slices from Stan Getz’s solo too.

You can here that tune here. Again, its called “Saudade Vem Correndo” by Stan Getz:
