Funk Ferret – Thank You (Free DL)

FREE TUNE FRIDAY!

Words from the big man:

“Back in November 2013 something great happened to music. Something that hadn’t been heard in the (almost) mainstream for a very long time. Busta Rhymes released ‘Thank You’ which featured a very prominent sample of Alicia Myers’ ‘I Want To Thank You’.

I was crazy excited to hear something so great and classic make it into the wider market. I had high hopes of this track throwing a spanner into the modern music works and crossed fingers to hear more sampled classic joints like this in the future… unfortunately that never happened. The mainstream music scene is just far too large and powerful to have one fresh new sound thrown into the mix and influence the modern sound.

So I say to you, get your remix on! Cut, edit, sample and remix away! Challenge the norm! The more alternate fresh material out there, the more chance it’ll have to influence the scene!

When I first heard the original Busta Rhymes track, I absolutely loved it! It was widely played, and unfortunately became a little overplayed, and almost left again as quickly as it entered.

I made this re-boot quite a while ago, so I’m hoping the time has passed and you’re ready to hear this one again!

I wanted to edit the original Alicia Myers version, and absolutely loved Q-Tip in the original Busta Rhymes track, so I used Q-Tip again here, although this time making use of his ‘Work It Out’ acapella.

With a bunch of extra sampled material thrown in, I hope this one brings fresh light to not only the well played Busta Rhymes version, but also the classic original by Alicia Myers.

I actually really wanted to do some more production and mastering on this one, but somehow I have lost all the project files! Ggggrrrr.. So this is it!

Enjoy!”
