This post started out as me putting up one of Krit's most recent videos but I felt that I should focus on the beat more. I've heard countless artists on this beat but I was never a big Lil Kim fan so I had no idea where it came from. So I backtracked and that took me to "Ultimate Flow" on "We Got It for Cheap Vol. 2" which took me to the wikipedia page for the mix tape where I found out where the track originated. This might be one my favorite beats of all time just because it's so laid back but dope at the same time. The track was produced by Fabian Hamilton and sampled "Bumpy's Lament" by Isaac Hayes. I tried to find some recent tracks from dude but it seems like he fell off the face of the earth. Here's the sample, the original track and a few remakes. Sidenote: Little things like this make me appreciate Hip Hop that much more.
