Diggin...Part 1

Peep this incredible jazzy summertime jam by Q-Tip from his 1999 album, "Amplified." This track is produced by none other than the late great J Dilla. The video isn't amazing but man, what a record. "Let's Ride" features a tiny snippet of the ubiquitous "UFO" break by ESG and subtle drum sampling from "The Humpty Dump" by The Vibrettes (video below).




The guitar lick comes from the Joe Pass version of John Coltrane's classic tune from 1960, "Giant Steps." I don't have the mp3, but you can listen to the track in its entirety RIGHT HERE ON RHAPSODY
The sample used in "Let's Ride" is right around the 3 minute mark. Enjoy.
