Mykesbass Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well I never, I pride myself on knowing a load of completely useless stuff when it comes to music, and have been a long time fan of Chas & Dave, mainly for their work outside of the hits, but I quite like them too. But I had absolutely no idea that Dave's bassline, and Jim's arrangement was responsible for one of Eminem's biggest hits: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKISdd2mKzU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKISdd2mKzU[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Eff me, the Eminem stuff starts at roughly 2 mins in and there''s absolutely no doubt that's the sample. I had no idea. I always wondered about the references to caps in gangsta rap. Turns out Chas n Dave are going to pop a flat cap in yo B***h A** Mother F*****rs.

Owen Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 PPL is not as good as PRS/MCPS but I am sure that was a tidy chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbrag Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 There was a Chas and Dave documentary out a couple of years ago where i belive they claimed that this has been the most sampled piece of music ever. Chas and Dave are hip hop legends. Gertcha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertcha [/quote] I saw that and Dave explained how the bass part had been the basis of that part of the Labi Siffre song - everything builds around the bass and drum pattern. Actually I came across Chas Hodges as the sessions bass player on an album I bought in the early 70s called the London Sessions, by Jerry Lee Lewis - I bought it because of the featured guitarists including both Lees, Albert and Alvin. I then found Chas Hodges to have played bass with Heads Hands and Feet, including playing bass on Country Boy - it's all good stuff! So these guys really were in the sessions scene and other famous bands well before the Chas and Dave stuff - though I was always impressed with Dave's bass parts on that. The Eminem sample sounds just that - a sample straight from the track with the addition of the DJ scratching. I rather like the Eminem track as well!
