I just heard on the radio what I assume to be a new hip-hop song that frequently uses that saxophone loop sound that is also used in Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got". Anybody have any idea the artist and name of the song. There are probably several hip-hong songs that use the same loop, but I can use iTunes preview function to double check whatever answers are given to this question. Thanks.

Here you go:



Jay-Z's “Show Me What You Got” (Kingdom Come, 2006) — surely one of the most dynamic, rhythmically complex and daring songs in recent hip-hop history — began at L.A.'s Westlake Studios. Blaze picks up the story: “That originally began with an air-raid siren, which I changed for a sax loop pitch-shifted and time-compressed; it was taken from ‘Darkest Light’ by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band. The brass stabs are from Shaft in Africa by Johnny Pate. Then I added the MPC drums, two keyboard players, Bam on live drums, two bassists and some light guitar and drum overdubs on the V-Drums. We didn't add the horns 'til right after Jay did his vocals, which I did on my laptop. All the crazy drum rolls and fills are Bam playing it live. I fortified that on the Roland V-Drums. When I did the beat originally, the musicians played over my phrase; I already had the Johnny Pate horns and my MPC going. They just played to that. I was committed to doing that all in the computer using Battery and the Sony laptop.”



Edited to add - To the first poster, Wrex n Effect sampled the Johnny Pate horns as well.

That relies upon on what stereotype you're attempting to disprove. there is surely a music for all of them yet i do no longer think of there is all people music which will do all of it and recommending a single artist could disprove one stereotype yet ascertain yet another, case in point you ought to use a number of Hopsins stuff for instance no longer all hip-hop/rap is materialistic yet you will possibly ascertain yet another one approximately it being derogatory in direction of women human beings in the event that they listened to 3 of his different songs. it incredibly is to no longer say the stereotype is right yet that it could ascertain it in human beings's minds if it incredibly is all you gave them to head on.
