Yesterday, was the anniversary of the death of BIG. One of my favs in hiphop. Biggie's Ready to Die album was very sample heavy, and not the obvious, glossy sampling badboy is known for. Its more gritty, with classic soul breaks instead of the polished R&B samples. Ironically, this is a sample of the remix version to One More Chance, a polished R&B sample lol. (I am currently away from my collection and only had access to this track). Perhaps I will post some of the better soul samples later. I imagine this remix was done just so that Big could have another radio friendly song.

This sample was taken from Debarge's Stay with me. The song is off the In a Special Way LP, which for that glossy, popish (some times over produced) R&B of the 80s, its one of the best. It had the other songs that made Debarge famous too, In a Special Way, Time Will Reveal & A Dream.
