I’m not sure about this. On the one hand hip-hop has always been about sampling stuff and re-presenting it. On the other hand Juice lifts Eric B’s beat for Know The Ledge pretty much wholesale and substitutes Kyza for Rakim which (no disrespect to Kyza) could be regarded as being as fruitless as it is pointless. And then he does pretty much the same with Soul’s Of Mischief’s ’93 Til Infinity. Mind you, Sway did something similar with The 900 Number earlier in the year. But then again, he did actually speed the beat up and add some crappy aerosol horn effects. Although hang on a sec…gahhh!…I dunno – the kids must just be tired of shitty beats that are made to sound good on mobile phone speakers. Classy artwork mind.
