    What Do Rick James, MC Hammer, Nikki Minaj and Gucci Mane All Have in Common?
    Nov 17 2024

    Listen as I play and pontificate excerpts* from the hit song "Super Freak," by the OG himself, Rick James. This song was sampled by MC Hammer, Nikki Minaj, and Gucci Mane, among others. I call them the "Wannabes."

    I'll even have a "Fun Fact" Special Segment that you'll want to keep an ear out for!

    *I do not own the copyrights to these songs, this is all for fun and a bit of learning, dare I say, educational!

    what do BEETHOVEN, JAMES BROWN, and ALICIA KEYS all have in common?
    Oct 27 2024

    What do Beethoven, James Brown and Alicia Keys all have in common? Well, you'll just have to listen to this episode to find out! Alicia Keys released "Fallin'" in April 2001. On this inaugural episode of OG'S and WANNABE'S (OGW) we'll talk about whether Alicia Keys sampled Ludwig Van Beethoven's popular song and James Brown's when she came up with "Fallin.'" And we will dig a little deeper into the songs "Moonlight Sonata" (Beethoven) and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (Brown) that Keys (our "Wannabe") may or may not have sampled from those esteemed OG's.
