Who Flipped It Better? Moaning Samples

As a throwback to the first volume of The Moaning series, we're bringing you a dope sample used on one of the top cuts on that mix. Props to these guys for posting the sample I had been looking for. We hope to bring you more volumes in the moaning series soon, but we got lots of treats on the way. So, let's keep this moving and tell a friend to tell a friend that T.R.O.Y. got that good dope.

Norman Connors - Butterfly Dreams

Ahhh, now that's some nice, laid back, waking up on a sunny spring day with a goddess by your side, type hit. Norman Connors is good for that sailing on a yacht feeling music. Shit, he's even pictured on a boat on at least one of his album covers. The intro, before the sample in question, sounds like a great little piece to freak, too. I wonder if it's been used?

Support the artist here. I would suggest any of his albums from the mid to late seventies, of course.

Example - Slow Motion

This is probably my favorite one. I have no idea who produced it, but the entire EP that this came from is dope. This is different from the other ones in that they sped the loop up and got some nice sounds, besides the moaning, out of it. This guy, Example, was out of Houston, and this EP was the only music I ever heard from him.

Akbar - Mothaship

Yeah, this is another nice one. DJ Shame, of Vinyl Reanimators fame, laced this one up lovely. Akbar tells a story about seeing a U.F.O. that turns out to be the Mothership arriving to take him back. I think. It's a good track, peep it for yourself.

Blaque Spurm - Nonoxynol Rhymin'

Okay, well, the name of the group wouldn't be as suspect if they didn't actually have a song called,"Pack Ya Shit". Whoa, jack. Anyways, if you can get past all of that, this is a pretty dope crew and a decent working of the same sample. They get extra points for the low budget sound and the addition of this sample-

David Porter - The Masquerade Is Over (this one can have it's own sample blog)

Personally, I rate these in the order that I posted them in.

#1 = Example

#2 = Akbar

#3 = Blaque Spurm

Let us know who you think flipped it best in the comments.

T.R.O.Y. Presents: The Moaning

Just when you thought most angles of this genre had been exploited, and some even run into the ground, the T.R.O.Y. forum regulars, mainly godmc, done got fresh with the concepts again. This is a compilation, with a mix companion, of songs featuring female moaning, singing, and even howling samples.

I might not have always noticed, but I've always had a thing for songs using samples like these. It's like you can't go wrong with a moaning sample. Whether it be sexy, eerie, or just straight ill, there's definitely something to be explored here. Whether you're buying it or not at this point, have we ever really steered you wrong?

Our resident mixmaster, vaporized, was cool enough to bless us with a well blended mix of these tracks that fits perfectly on a CD. They are not in the same exact order as on the compilation, which also conveniently fits on one CD, but you can download both and then match the tracks up. Besides, they both flow different and who wouldn't want all these bangers on separate mp3s AND in a mix?

We still have plenty of left overs to make a few more of these, but the well is still not markedly

tapped. So, if you can think of some, either drop them in the comments or at the forum. Bear in mind we already have over 100, so you might want to peep the list at the forum first and see what you can bring to the table.

Big shout to godmc for taking the chance and sparking this project and to everyone who contributed.

Thanks to dirt_dog for the cover artwork.

And props to vaporized for taking on the task of mixing this for your listening pleasure.

And, if you still haven't checked the Nas - I Am album remixed over Godfather Don and 45 King beats, you really don't know what you're missing. This should replace the originals on the record store racks.

Stay tuned for AZ's A.W.O.L. album over Hydra Beats and hopefully more volumes of "The Moaning".
