Omar's Wonderful World: Sample Of The Week: Sylvester- Was It Something I Said

It's time for sample of the week. Ah yes! One of my favorite sample loops. Just like people going along on what is today's hottest fashion gear, hip-hop always have a sample trend during a time period. I actually didn't know I had the Sylvester album "Step II" in my parents' record collection. It was first used by Big Daddy Kane on the classic joint "Taste of Chocolate" intro and outro from the 1990 album "Taste of Chocolate". This sample became hot again when Lil' Kim ressurected the sample on the song "Big Momma Thang" feat. Jay-Z from her 1996 LP "Hardcore". Through the next couple of years, artists from Yvette Michelle to Montell Jordan hop on the train to ride along this mellow, funky, groovy loop. I remember when i was in the 5th grade in late 1997 on Friday night coming from the barbership when my mom picked me up. I was rocking the waves with the line up cut on the left side of my head "Nas style". I turned on the radio station to Magic 102.5. They was playing Friday mix jam songs with a live DJ and all of sudden, Yvette Michelle "Im Not Feeling You" came on. I was jamming in my seat and turned the windows down. I was feeling good, smelling good and looking good with a fresh haircut while on our way to the mall. Then another song with the same Sylvester "Was It Something I Said" sample loop came on and I remember the words to the song " So get your groove on" (can somebody help me find out what the name of the song is. it would be a pleasure). But any who, I was dancing in my seat bobbing my head hard until my mom yelled at me to turn the windows back up because the wind was messing up her hair. LOL. Sorry for reflecting on my childhood, but anyway, here is the classic song from Sylvester "Was It Something I Said" from the 1978 album "Step II". Enjoy!

P.S. (Sorry blog heads. I was suppose to post this yesterday. I promise I will post Sample of The Week every Monday)
