Play Willie Hutch Slick Pro Is In
However, a more measured listen to the album reveals many other delights and an affirmation of the wonderful talents of the late, great Willie Hutch. Classics as the title track, Brothers Gonna Work It Out, and Slick.Wind the clock forward 40 years and these two tracks still stand out. Dre and 2Pac to Chance The Rapper and A$AP Rocky.Willie Hutch biography and history on AllMusic including birthday, best songs. The more raw and Latin-flavoured Lo Que Dice El While the bulk of the song is Hutch calling for black unity over lush orchestration, it’s the opening dialogue—a debate between The Mack characters Olinga and Goldie about revolution versus capitalism, bucking the system versus infiltrating it—and that gorgeous flute-and-guitar combo that’s been such a sample favorite for everyone from Dr. The key to being a cool edit pro is in the selections, and Seegweed smashes it with Willie Brothers Gonna Work It Out Hutch and his hitherto obscure Slick , which comes chock full of warm, early 70s Blaxploitation motifs. For the second time, Swedish edit maestro Seegweed blesses GAMM with a set of extremely tasteful extensions.


So it’s only right that Warren G laced him with a funky sample of Willie Hutch’s “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” on 1993’s “Definition of a Thug Nigga.” The sample—a tiny section of Hutch’s bassline that almost sounds like it’s stuttering—isn’t immediately obvious (unless, like me, you’ve scoured the pages of whosampled.com), but the way such a subtle sample drives an entire song makes this flip so genius. These days, Jazzie plies his trade as a radio and television personality.If any rapper best captures the conflicting attitudes of Goldie and Olinga, it’s ‘Pac. My man Jazzie didn’t even need the “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” dialogue, though, as he shed his own light on social issues in the hood. “Misery Loves Company” was actually the first song to really build a beat around Willie Hutch’s flute and guitar section, speeding it up and looping it over some drums.
Ron C might be the original Bobby Shmurda. Having relocated to Dallas as a kid himself, it’s no surprise that Ron C—not to be confused with OG Ron C, the DJ and fellow Texas native famous for his “chopped not slopped” mixes—flipped “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” on his 1994 The C Theory album cut, “I Don’t Really Wanna.” He’s not exactly the biggest artist to sample Willie Hutch, but Ron C has an interesting story nevertheless: he was a drug dealer-turned-rapper who signed to Profile Records, the home of Run-D.M.C., but got locked up for drug possession just weeks before his debut album dropped. Kelly sprinkling a lil’ ’90s gangsta swing on Willie Hutch’s “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” could have been special but was ultimately forgettable and confusing.Maybe it’s his Dallas upbringing, but Willie Hutch’s music has always been such perfect sample material for Southern rap. But when was the last time you delved into the 12 Play deep cuts? I‘m asking because that sure as hell isn’t Kellz rapping on “Back to the Hood of Things.” And whoever it is, why did they think saying, “people call me Campbell because they think I’m suit” was anything but a terrible idea? Anyway, R. Kelly’s 12 Play was a massive album that spawned the timeless slow jam known as “Bump n’ Grind,” which is probably the reason your ass is here right now.
It was essentially four-and-a-half minutes of save-a-hoe seduction ( “You should know I wanna take you from your misery / So you can be treated like a queen”), before Willie Hutch’s guitar melody soundtracked a hilarious closing skit in which a guy barks on his side-chick for calling his crib. Donell Jones—“Think About It (Don’t Call My Crib)” (1999)Unlike most songs on this list, Donell Jones’ “Think About It (“Don’t Call My Crib)” featured a sample “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out” towards the end of the song. Williams’ class was anything but a breeze: “If you remove every living animal out of the sea / Then wouldn’t the world’s ocean water level decrease? / This means the planet wasn’t three-quarters water.” Tomorrow’s lesson: why the Earth is flat. The short-lived group’s one and only album, South Central Los Skanless, was best know for the Parliament-sampling “What You Wanna Do?,” but the project also contained one of the more sinister flips of “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out.” On “Land of the Skanless,” Willie Hutch’s guitar loop was given a dark, chintzy makeover that soundtracked Kausion’s hellish reality.One of the best and most famous flips of “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out,” Canibus deployed Willie Hutch’s guitar and flute melody as the backdrop to his lecture in “Niggonometry.” As soothing as that loop is, however, Mr.
Not that it hurt Jaheim’s chances, though. That weird snipped sample of Hutch’s flute, on the other hand, didn’t quite work as well. “Looking For Love” leaned heavily on a loop of Willie Hutch’s guitar, which added sincerity to Jaheim’s romantic rhymes.
Maybe there’s a reason why Black Child never released a solo album on Murder Inc. One of the many forgotten tracks from Murder Inc.’s 2002 compilation, Irv Gotti Presents: The Inc., “O.G.” featured a rather uninspired sample of Willie Hutch’s guitar melody that was made even less likable by that annoying “O.G.” vocal sample. Put him on a song by himself, however, and the results were less memorable.
Artist to flip Willie Hutch’s “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out.” On 2004’s “Feel So Right,” producer Wally Morris slowed down the sample to a steamy tempo, but the overly chintzy production left Murder Inc. Lloyd—“Feel So Right” (2004)After Black Child, Lloyd was the second Murder Inc. “Big Girl Thang” sounded like it came out in 1994, not in 2004. “Big Girl Thang” found the Queen of Memphis bringing a sister’s perspective to “Brother’s Gonna Work It Out,” but the cheap, dated production ultimately let it down. Nate Dogg (2004)Having made her debut on Three 6 Mafia’s Mystic Stylez album, it was only right that La Chat put her spin on a Willie Hutch classic.

Hot Rod left G-Unit in 2010, never to be heard from again. However, the beat that Hot Rod and Banks found themselves rapping over sounded like a leftover from The Hunger For More.
