âWho ShotâŻYa?ââŻÂ captures Christopher George Latore WallaceÂ â who is, lest we forget, widely remembered as the greatest rapper ever âÂ at the height of his powers,Â claiming his crown asÂ the KingÂ of New York. So, itâs a nasty-ass song, and it's gotÂ an incredible beat. Perfect situation, with those drums.ââŻ Itâs been used about 10 times at least.â.Â NashiemâŻexplained toâŻ Dubspot, âBasically the drums are already in the record.âŻ WeâŻstarted to mix one night, and Puff said,âŻâwhere is the rest of the track?ââŻI saidâŻâthereâs no more track, its just a loop!â This is where the second sample originated.âŻ âPoke from theâŻTrackmastersâŻcame through and give me drums that fit so lovely, fluffy drums that just put right in the mix. PorterÂ is one of rapâs most sampled artists â Drake, Wu-TangÂ and even Will Smithâs âGettinâÂ JiggyÂ Wit Itâ use his songs.Â âThis record is probably one of âŻtheâŻhip hop templates. Listen to them keys drop made me feel like I was tripping on dust, and I never smoked or inhaled dust in my lifeâ.âŻâŻâŻĪt the core of the record is David PorterâsÂ 'I'm Afraid the Masquerade isâŻOver' ,Â aÂ 1971Â StaxÂ / Volt classic. When I first heard itâŚmy mind couldn't comprehend how otherworldly the track sounded. The man behind the beat is NashiemâŻMyrick, one half of the Hitmen, Bad Boy RecordsâÂ inhouseÂ production squad.įormer managing editor of the source, Combat Jack, summed up theÂ extraordinaryÂ beat: âNashiemâŻwas such an ill producer for how he came up with the beat. Before Biggieâs irresistible flow starts, even before Puff DaddyÂ intros the tune, comes the beat.
