I just got that Carl Douglas record! I tripped out when I heard this sample. Excellent!

Sweet. The only bit I could imagine is different is the downward harps bit, but that just could be cause the youtube clip doesn't quite have the start of the song...

I agree too, I'll report it for a review and change by the admins.

KingRizlaa said on Tuesday, 22 June 2010:
I'm with you, tick, pretty sure it's a direct sample.

tick said on Tuesday, 22 June 2010:
Is this an interpolation? It sounds so much like a true sample...

love this sample

KingRizlaa said on Saturday, 20 June 2009:
I've sumbitted the 'Nas is Like' sample on here!! check it out

thomasdr08 said on Saturday, 20 June 2009:
Ayo Kings, the sample for "Nas is Like" and "Represent" are 2 of the most obscure and innovative samples you'll ever find, you can find em both on youtube just search "Nas is Like Sample" and "Represent Sample"

Nas is Like came from an old I think Lutherian recording and Represent came from "Thief of Baghdad"...recorded & produced in 1929... Premo is that dude

I recon this is one of the best Primo beats I have heard.But I am still waiting to find out the original sample to "Nas is Iike" thats another of my favourite.
