30. Lil Kim // Sade; Jadakiss, Fabolous // Tevin Campbell

Episode 30 of the Sample Axis Podcast. On this episode, we discuss first the genre-bending sampling done by Queen Bee (Lil Kim) on the rap jam "Single Black Female" which takes a part of Sade Adu’s Sweetest Taboo with help from Mario Winans giving the song a new and completely different vibe. As far as samples go this is one of the books. The second part of the episode has background stories on another rap song this time from Jadakiss and Fabolous enlisting Teyana Taylor to create the song “Talk About It” inspired by the Grammy nominated 1994 song “Can We Talk” by Tevin Campbell.
