B.o.B. Vs. Bobby Ray has been on repeat since Monday. Especially the first half, as I tried to decipher the samples. Generally samples never slip by me but sometimes a raw beat comes across and it becomes a priority for me to find the orgin. This happened with the banger “My Sweet Baby.” Fury makes a 2004-esque beat, but B.o.B. kills at will.

After some digging, I found the already commonly covered “Love Is Strange” by Mickey & Sylvia. Since I’ve never seen Dirty Dancing, the song didn’t intially catch my ear. Ultimately, I still found out. So there you have it.

Have not stopped bumping it since Monday…. Love the beat, thanks for the research on the sample!
“Love Is Strange” is that Sunday radio kinda music back in JA back in the day. B.O.B. is on point as usual. And the BET awards is trying to catch a hype off Mike’s name without putting in work or quality. smh.
unbelievable production on that tape.
Fury did his thing on those beats!
“Say What You Want” (ft. Playboy Tre and Killer Mike)
^^^samples Say Say Say by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson
wasnt this in a tarantino or scorsese movie? whatever movie it was used in i remember the scene was on some gangster shit
Wasn’t that song in Casino?
I…didn’t like this one in the slightest. Sorry, gonna distance myself with you dudes on this.
Didn’t like this one in the slightest. Usually feel like I’m in step with you guys but I’m gonna distance myself with you on this mixtape.
Garbage.
This the song that plays in Casino when Ace spots Ginger for the first time….when she’s throwing the marks chips all over the place in slow motion….
Agree with Taliban, the new version is pretty poor…
No wonder he didn’t recognized the sample…..WTF? He hasn’t seen dirty dancing? Youngsters…..pffft (jking)
Say, TSSCREW, you might want to listen to THE WHOLE ALBUM on repeat. The second half is just as good, if not better, than the first half.
Wonderland is the best record on the entire album. They fucked up by putting OJ the Juiceman on “I Am the Man”. If they would have had Killer Mike on “I Am the Man”, that song would be the best.
Taliban and don king:
Did y’all have your ears closed when you played the song? Do you own cars with any respectable systems in them? This beat goes HARD! The sample is sick, BIG UPS TO FURY, and the mixtape should have been a major label ALBUM. It’d be toppin Billboard as we speak and he’d do a mil easily in the first week.
hey yo, remember
Nas – Street Dream
beggining of the song !
illllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I love the second half. Listened to first half for the beats. Good morning.
