Deconstructing "Come Home With Me"

Cam'ron - Come Home With Me [The Samples]
(Megaupload)

Here's the next Dip-set (corny, I know). It's for Cam's first album for Roc-a-fella and his highest selling by far. It was helmed by the likes of Kanye, Just and the Heatmakerz so, as expected, the samples come Proper. The sample of "Dead or Alive" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. One Caveat, I couldn't find the full version of Joe Simon's "I'll take care of you", used by the Heatmakerz on "Boy Boy", so I included a 30 second snippet. If anyone has or knows how to get the full song, hit me up in the comments.

Deconstructing Diplomatic Immunity

Diplomatic Immunity [The Samples] - The Diplomats
(Megaupload)

Inspired by the work of the legendary (at least around my neck of the interwebs) Ivan and Kev, I have decided to go diggin' myself and compile sample sets for my personal albums. Having come of age as a Hip-Hop fan in New York in the early 2000's, it's only appropriate that my first few sets are from Dipset. I'll eventually be posting the 4 ROC/Dispet albums. People tend to forget how soulful the Dip were and how great the Heatmakerz were so hopefully the soulfulness and eclecticism of this set will remind others (as it did me). Peace.

P.S. - Unlike Kev and Ivan, I won't be writing on the covers, rather I'll have a friend remake the covers thematicaly (hence pink stars and Purple stripes [||] for Diplomatic Immunity).

You've Got to Love Objectivism

Rand: [mid-sentence] "...for healthy children to use handicapped materials. I quite agree with the speaker's indignation. I think it's a monstrous thing — the whole progression of everything they're doing — to feature, or answer, or favor the incompetent, the retarded, the handicapped, including, you know, the kneeling buses and all kinds of impossible expenses. I do not think that the retarded should be ~allowed~ to come ~near~ children. Children cannot deal, and should not have to deal, with the very tragic spectacle of a handicapped human being. When they grow up, they may give it some attention, if they're interested, but it should never be presented to them in childhood, and certainly not as an example of something ~they~ have to live down to."
