    I have to agree with you. I always thought it was tastefully done.

    The slow build in the beginning, which culminates with him bringing the bassline in at :20 is killer. I found the "middle portion" a bit too sparse but overall, as you note, it's tastefully one.

    Never mind me I was just talking shit. I actually like the Black Milk flip.

    Too obvious?

    Gang Starr kind of owns that record IMO. You can't even make a track with that beat and not immediately sound like Gang Starr. I would be more interested to hear someone really "flip" it - e.g. make it sound different than the orig

    Hey Jonny,

    Your suggestion for flippin' "California Soul" would be an interesting "Producer 'Strut" battle. I'm sittin' here thinking about going upstairs to the lab and trying it.

    Not the best just "another" version

  • mannybolonemannybolone Los Angeles, CA 15,025 Posts
    Can I just say I find that pop-up that says "BITCHEZ STOP HATiN STUPiD FAGS" to be an intriguing statement given the lack of punctuation. It's like misogynistic + patronizing + anti-homophobic, all in one.

    This one's a wee better, IMO.

    the one you flip yourself:

    *CAPO 4th FRET*

    (Original Key: C#)


    Intro:

    A Bm7 C D, A (n.C)

    Verse 1:

    A
    Like a sound you hear,
    Bm7
    That lingers in your ear,
    C
    But you can't forget,
    D A Bm7 C D
    From sundown to sun-set, now.

    A
    It's all in the air,
    Bm7
    You hear it everywhere,
    C
    No matter what you do,
    D A Bm7 C
    It's gonna grab a hold on you.
    D Am F
    Cali-fornia soul,
    E7
    California soul.

    Bridge 1:

    B7
    They say the sun comes up,
    D
    Every morning now,
    B7
    And if you listen,
    D
    Oh so careful-ly.

    A Amaj7
    The winds that ride,
    D
    On the high time,
    B7 C#7
    Whistle in melo-dy.

    Chorus 1:

    (C#7)
    And so the people,
    A Amaj7
    Started to sing,
    F#m7
    And that's how the surf,
    B7
    Gave birth un-told,
    Am F
    To California soul,
    A Bm7 C D
    California soul.

    Verse 2:

    A
    When you hear the beat,
    Bm7
    You wanna pat your feet,
    C
    And you've got to move,
    D
    'Cos it's really,
    A Bm7 C D
    Such a groove.

    A
    Puts a brand new kind,
    Bm7
    Of thinkin' in your mind,
    C
    And you can't go wrong,
    D
    Cause you're groovin',
    A Bm7 C
    All day long.
    D Am F
    California soul,
    E7
    California soul.

    Bridge 2:

    B7
    They had the melody,
    D
    And the beat,
    B7
    But it still didn't,
    D
    Seem com-plete.

    A
    Until they saw two,
    Amaj7 D
    Lovers kissin',
    B7
    They knew just,
    C#7
    What was missin'.

    Chorus 1:

    (C#7)
    So happy they were,
    A Amaj7
    Rockin' and reelin',
    F#m7
    Because they'd added,
    B7
    That lovin' feeling.
    Am F
    To California soul,
    A Bm7 C D
    California soul.

    Coda:

    A
    Like a sound you hear,
    Bm7 C D
    That lingers in your ear.

    Outro:

    A Bm7 C D

    (Repeat to Fade)
