FUGEES ON THAT DNB?!?! | Americans React to Fugees - Ready Or Not (DJ Zinc Remix)

[@michaelrichardson2418]

This track was made over 30 yrs ago in a bedroom 😂, only having simple samplers an Amiga computer and early sequencing software

[@BeersBars]

That's crazy

[@MR-Prince-1985]

Ready or not came out 28 years ago in 1996

[@neilsoncoombs4319]

Not to mention it's an unofficial remix. Doubt they had full access to isolated tracks.

[@jones1210]

‘It wasn’t for other people’ - you’re so right! It was for the rave, for the big nights out… I loved this cut’n’paste ‘spot the sample’ jump up jungle. It’s so raw.

DJ Zinc is legendary. His track - SuperSharpShooter is an absolute must - it's torn up UK dancefloors for DECADES. Also, if you are checking out these older tracks then Aphrodite & Micky Finn are well worth looking at. Probably best known for "BadAss" - classic. Bear in mind these tracks all go back to the mid-90s

It was only about 5 or 6 years ago I found out what the vocal samples was for that. And I don't mean the LL Cool J parts. The actual "Super Sharp Shooter shooting shots" part. Always thought it was Meth, but turns out it was from a obscure UK hip hop track.

[@truevanpencil5403]

It was mad when Kanye sampled it

[@DJGanon]

Back before this tunes release, a legendary artist from the UK I’m happy to say I had the honour of getting to know passed away in a car accident a few weeks after performing at our venue. Zinc came and dropped this after a moment of silence in honour of her & her passings impact on our scene. Zinc gave me his dubplate vinyl of this be used at the show. It remains one of my fav tunes & cherished memories from the 90’s DnB scene. So glad you all are discovering some of the gems from our scene

[@DJGanon]

@@lokibrux yeah that was such a devastating loss that is still felt by anyone who knew Kemi & in the impact she would have had on the scene if she wasn’t taken far too soon. Bless

[@bennyblanco9231]

Khemistry ?

[@DJGanon]

@@bennyblanco9231 Kemistry was a groundbreaking female dj & artist who helped found the Metalheadz label plus she had an incredible impact on the DnB scene which was sadly cut far too short due to a tragic car accident. Kemi typically performed with another legendary female dj named Storm. Most of all though she was an amazing human being, so friendly, bubbling over with positive energy & and genuine love for the scene. We lost an angel that sad night. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHuteZahqrudl9Esi=5TE6Eh86-QQZvqeX

[@Mike_Control]

Respect to Khem…never forgotten ❤

[@stewrmo]

Dudes, this was likely done on an Amiga, with the sample taken directly from the decks. The stuff you are talking about was only available for a professional studio. This is origins. This is ancient stone tablets. An ancient scroll. Also, the long, "basic" intro and outros are for the DJ to cut, and mix onto. Different, but amazing times with brand new sounds never heard before. Mind blowing. One love from Scotland.💙

[@shermanmesser6189]

We have to remember this was probably made on analog and DJ Zinc probably was only given the full track of this official remix, or they made it and it became official afterward. The track length is also to give time for the dj to find, get out of a sleeve, beat match, pitch correct, and all then other fun aspects of playing on vinyl.

First time I went to Global I saw Daft Punk, at the time I did not appreciate the significance of what I was witnessing. I was pretty fucked up and decided to try and mission back to my tent halfway through their set 😭 In hindsight that was one of the worst decisions I have ever made in life 😆.

[@DJL.A]

I remember when this track hit the underground. Man was slapping walls bro. We was running illegal pirate radio stations here in London uk. These tunes I grew up with.

[@disco_stu9813]

Love seeing 2 Americans getting into UK Jungle in 2024. I was lucky enough to be there at the start from 1990. Royston (RIP), legendary promoter who moved to Cromer in North Norfolk put on some of the first acid house events on in the East of England. Jungle pioneer Bizzie B was a regular, DJ Randall put in an appearance. We used to set up a pirate radio in my much missed mate Busters flat in Cromer and Bizzie B would DJ. I loved early hip hop and Jungle blew my mind when it arrived

[@gavinwilson2071]

Wow guys. This is like a dnb hymn. Memories...

[@kipstar81]

The oiginal Fugees sample was Enya - Boadicea, for anyone that's interested!

[@mibrexit]

It's Jungle genre. DnB is a child. Just in case 👌

[@bleachyberserko4191]

Man, this shit wasn't new when I was a teen and I'm 33. I grew up riding bmx's to this shit, it's a pleasure to see yous fellas hearing it and loving it for the first time, with all these tunes. Proper wicked 👌

[@LoochMindReader]

What a legendary track. Never an official remix at the time though. When Sony caught wind of how well it was doing they called up Zinc & Hype and told them to stop pressing copies of it. Later it was offered up as an official remix to the Fugees, but they declined on the grounds that they didn’t like being ‘sampled’. Which is ironic considering they themselves sampled Enya in the track and lifting the chorus from the Delfonics 😅

[@london9372]

ELECTRONIC MUSIC - Drum n' Bass' LTJ Bukem who was a game changer... But of course Drum n' Bass came from Acid House & the UK rave scene which was the last REAL Underground movement. Our government in the UK at the time spent a lot of money trying to stop us from raving & even set up a whole Police squad called the ALKALINE DEPARTMENT to arrest us for playing & dancing to Acid House!!! Can you imagine!! It was an amazing time in British music history & changed the world music scene actually... Why because the incredible electronic music talent that was coming out of Detroit wasn't accepted in the US, they didn't know where to SLOT black artists who created electronic music because they didn't create Rap or Soul etc. SO these talented innovator DJs/Producers came to the UK to play, we had HUGE admiration for them & they for us, they said they felt free of the racial tensions they felt in the U.S against them AND their music... Detroit Techno STILL ignored in the States sadly but still highly admired world-wide! These guys had a massive influence on what we were doing here technically & what you are reacting to now of course 🙂 These Detroit innovators battle against the term EDM & the hi-jacking of their sound by the white music industry who create endless cheesy trax that decimate what they do for a huge profit. It's a very interesting music history that I think you'd both enjoy reading about www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kevin-saunderson-dance-music-scene-failing-black-artists-interview-9408240/

I’ve never really thought about that, do all non DJs wonder why these old vinyl tracks have such long intros and outros where nothing much really happens?

[@truevanpencil5403]

@@Abiscuit7574 fact is if you had an absolute banger but it was only 1-2 minutes long no DJ, or few, are dropping it. If the tune is ill the crowd want lots of it! back then u didn’t have auto queuing CDJs that can make a cup of tea whilst they beat match, so most vinyl tunes were at least 3.5 minutes long 😂

Holy shit! Of all the tracks I thought I'd never see a reaction to... it's this. All DJ's tried to get their hands on this record in the early 2000's. Didn't matter what crowd you were in front of.. drop this track and everyone went crazy. Also, you guys are listening to this through the lens of 20 years of progression. Drum and Bass was meant to be unclean, poorly mixed, and a bit of a sound wall. The lack of individual mixing was intentional.

[@IanGodchild]

You have to listen to jungle and D&B ON Vinyl to get the true sound. Also the long intros was for DJs to mix and time up. Bless

[@Gallywomack]

In addition to the point lots of others have made about the long intro/outro for mixing, the other thing to bear in mind is that this would have been MC'd over almost any time it was played out. These are obviously amazing productions given the equipment they were made on, but they were never really meant to be listened to in isolation like this. In a way that makes the enduring impact of tracks like this all the more remarkable, I wonder if guys like Zinc could have guessed they would still be listened to nearly 30 years later
