Un-B. Coming

The B. Coming [The Samples] - Beanie Sigel
(Megaupload)

Like the rest of the samples I've posted so far, this album is a personal favorite (though the beats haven't aged as well as the Dipset albums(The Heatmakerz really were geniuses)). Lyrically it is Bean's strongest. Though a brigade of producers contributed to the album (and the beats reflect this), the samples are surprisingly consistent and balanced.

I found contradictary info as to which Carrie Lucas song ("Dance with you" or "Questions") was sampled on "Once Again It's On". I planned on including both in the set but I couldn't find even a snippet of "Questions" (off her 1978 album "Street Corner Symphony"). So if anyone has the song or the album, hit me up in the comments.

I seen that Carrie song "Questions" in my travels, but never picked it up...I'll look for it and send it to you.

Since the Beanie/Jay fiasco broke, I've been on a hunt for reminders of happier times at the Roc. I tracked down the "Questions" sample used in "Once Again It's On."

It's on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq37NWqaqoE

And it looks like it's also here along with the rest of the Street Corner Symphony album (I'm downloading it now to be sure):

Enjoy, fellow crate diggers!
