Always get a buzz whenever my way favourite interests occasionally combine. In this case, it's whether the west coast rap group, known as The Pharcyde, sampled Joseph Green's The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962), or not?
The cult-classic, sci-fi horror features Abie Baker's 1959 single The Web; notably, when the mad doctor is on the prowl for a fine, young woman's body to replace the one his fiancée lost in a car accident. Cue curb crawlin', fleapit nightclubs scenes and plenty of ogling. Although not credited anywhere, the sleazy trumpet horn sounds identical to the one used on The Pharcyde's 4 Betta or 4 Worse (1992). Also, there's the disturbing phone call segment on the third verse of their song containing these lyrics: "I'll take a hammer and start to drill/ Your skull, and then I'll really start/ Picking, your brains cells, I will be/ Licking, mm mm mm mm! Okay?/ You taste so intelligent." Can't just be a coincidence with both a horn sample and those lyrics, can it?
The bit at 1:14 yeah? Certainly sounds like it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's the bit.
ReplyDeleteIt's not credited on WhoSampled for whatever reason and I'm positive this is the source.
Either they don't know, don't show, or don't care....
I agree. We need to #strategise a way this will make you go viral.
ReplyDeleteCouple of generations too late for TikTok viral videos.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated, but Kermode did a nice short vid on Tenebre a couple of days ago. Small recompense for not being able to buy tickets for the BFI screening this weekend.
Glad to see he's not wearing a short sleeved t-shirt over a long sleeved t-shirt in that video as he often does nowadays. Dressing like an early 90s indie band is not the look for 59 year old bloke in 2023.
ReplyDeleteThe Harrington jacket and the KGB agent look worked much better before the weight gain.
ReplyDeleteWorst offender is Kermode's algorithm support team member, Anna Bogutskaya. She really ought to be on a stall selling joss sticks rather than reviewing films, imo.
ReplyDeleteWas so annoyed when she did the Boiling Point review because Kermode was on holiday 😄
ReplyDeleteKermode has too many holidays.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't completely terrible, but Robbie Collin overrated the hell out of Evil Dead Rise.
Can't trust a bloke who has wears as many rings as ex dealer Ian Towning from Dickinson's Real Deal.
