Songs that use.... a Flexatone!

[Don Seer]

Thought this'd be a funny topic..

What songs best illustrate the use of a Flexatone? (that classic metallic DOOOOOOOOOOOOINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG)

From what I can recall lots of early to middle-era Death Row stuff (Doggstyle/Dogg Food/Above The Rim OST)

I'll start off with one..


Tha Dogg Pound - Dogg Pound 4 Life - nice bit around 4:30 but some throughout


also, there's a video somewhere of (I think) J-Flexx & Barney Rubble using one in a studio (NOT in the Who Been There, Who Done That video)

I remember seeing it but can't remember when/where.. maybe on one of the dpg or death row dvds - possibly one of the ones daz put out.

DJ Quik used to use it all the time back in the day, but he hasn't at all recently.

Name that tune 

[IbblesAndBits]

"Pitch in ona party" uses it all throughout.

[Don Seer]

i'm going to make a iTunes playlist of all songs that are posted here

I remember flexatone sounds on the Aftermath Compilation. At least on Dre's Been there, done that and RCs Sexy Dance,...sup Seer?

[Sir Petey]

the first time i remembered noticing that sound prevelantly through out a whole album was on the superfly soundtrack (curtis mayfield) i was like "thats the same noise on been there done that."

[TidyKris]

it was used by Daz alot on the mid 90's deathrow tracks
