1. What do The Sylvers have to do with gansta rap?
2. What does Betty Wright have to do with hip-hop? (one rap, one song)
3. You know that classic, whiny synth-line style that was so popular in most early west coast gangsta rap? Name the ORIGINAL song that it came from. Name the group...
Now you know that UnEq and Me are the only ones that'll probably answer this one? I wish that we had some other oldheads that would check out the boards and chill here with us..I'd like to see who else knows oldschool like us..wouldn't that be Nice? We'll see..

O.K., 1. What do The Sylvers have to do with gansta rap? 2. What does Betty Wright have to do with hip-hop? (one rap, one song) 3. You know that classic, whiny synth-line style that was so popular in most early west coast gangsta rap? Name the ORIGINAL song that it came from. Name the group... HA!
1) Foster Sylvers is the kid who did 'Misdemeanor'...the song sampled by Dre for DOC's 'Funky Enough'.
2) Betty Wright did 'Tonight Is The Night'...the song sampled by DJ Quik for 'Tonight'
3) I think you're referring to 'Funky Worm' by the Ohio Players.
AHHH, tdawg, your kung fu is very good...... However, betty Wright was also sampled in a "song". Name it..... Also,what does the rock group "In living color" have to do with hip-hop? Better yet, what can the movie "wild style " possibly have to do with the world's famous supreme team? Hmmmmmm?
1) Hmmm...the only other cut I can think of that sampled Betty Wright from the West Coast was Candyman's, 'Knockin Boots'.
2) Living Colour and hiphop... Vernon Reid played guitar on PE's 'Sophisticated Bitch' (who said all the hours of reading LP jackets and liner notes would never pay off?! )
3) Ya got me on that one...................................................................
See what happens when you got all these brain freezes.. you pic a dudes brain clean.. you should give some sort of warning like on the side of my slurpee.. Warning, May cause a brain freeze........LOL
