Paid in Full (7 Minutes Of Madness Remix) - Eric B. & Rakim

[@GunninRebel55]

That Ofra Haza "Im Nin'Alu" sample on here just might be the most brilliant sample any producer ever put to a beat. Pure genius.

[@gordonwilliams3680]

Its so beautiful. What language is it?

[@GunninRebel55]

Gordon Williams She’s an Israeli so most likely Hebrew.

[@eshvartz]

@@gordonwilliams3680 I'm an Israeli, I grew up hearing Ofra Haza once in a while. Truth's wilder than I thought at first, it's a song written by a Rabbi, in Hebrew. Traditionally used in Yemenite Jewish weddings. She apparently sued Eric B. & Rakim for stealing these samples of her.. I don't know, no private opinion, just interesting.. :)

[@mauricesowerseliii3413]

I always wondered where that sample came from. I also always knew that it was something spiritual. Not understanding the words but feeling the vibration.

[@GunninRebel55]

@@mauricesowerseliii3413 Right. Definitely something spiritual. I pulled this off a translation online. “Even If the doors of the righteous will shut, The Doors of Heaven will still be open. The Living God will exalt them by Cherubs. All will raise by his Spirit, The Living God.”
