[@andrewgalletti9519]

Jay Company THE BIG BEAT!

[@shadmoney6617]

Here is a fun fact for everyone. This beat was sampled from the song 'Daisy Lady' by the group 7th Wonder of Tuskegee Alabama. There very well may have never been Hip Hop without the creation of that song. Look it up.

[@jaycompany4886]

The big beat reminds, yrs ago.....i went to roxys, i think, if u were there.....u heard the beginnings of here we go by Run-DMC

[@jaycompany4886]

@@shadmoney6617 we use scratch the beat to shreds 7wonder on the techniques.....n love rap, big beat n cherl lynns to be real n many more......we had crates of beats n records, them were the days

[@shadmoney6617]

@@jaycompany4886 That is cool as hell. My ex's father was a member of 7th Wonder. Allen Williams is his name. I literally just realized the night before last that there song was the original. They were out around the same years as the Commodores. That song in particular was produced by one of the Commodores members. My ex's father also sang the hook and the breakdown on The Commodores song 'Lady.'

[@KiraVisualKei]

that's THE rap music, i wonder how did the lyrical theme change so much these days in rap songs, they only talk about money, drugs, girls,their fame and their cars!
