Title: Game - You Are The Blood
Post by: Paul on August 24, 2010, 11:55:15 AM
Not a huge Game fan but Break lights and especially this track have been a big step up from his recent material. I love the sample and the drums  8)

What you guys think bout the track? And is there a No DJ/CDQ?

Game's dark shit is so on-point. My favorites from Break Lights are: Thats the Way the Game Goes, Ecstasy, and You Are the Blood. Even that Cheery Kool-aid shit grew on me.

I dont think the quality of the NODJ is that bad.. To real audio-heads it might be.. but I can bump it and enjoy!


and Your Are The Blood is a fuckin amazin track!

Sample is dope, beat is tight, Game's story tellin and lyrics are dope.

Btw is that Kobe on the hook ? Because he's not credited on the mixtape.

I always wondered who was on the hook and now that you say that I think it is Kobe... sure sounds like him

Yeah it is..

and why does Game do that? Only credit the big names? Like on RED Room where Kanary on several tracks isnt credited..

Game is a rapper, he doesn't do the artwork and the rest of that shit. If an artist isn't listed its probably because the person who's mixing / sequencing the project (Skee maybe?) left them off. Sky Balla's name was left off the SSSL mixtape where he did a hook, shit happens.

Something interesting I read on youtube...

Quote
THAT SHIT IS FIRE!!!! NOT MADE BY COOL AND DRE THO.... THIS S KING DAVID FROM LA.

Who the hell is King David? The beat is fire. Game needs to work with this dude more, cuz quite frankly...him and Cool & Dre don't have the best chemistry.

Well no matter what he is he should pay the featured artists respect by crediting them. and it was a free mixtape.. So he could have said that he wanted it to say feat. Bugs Bunny.. therefore the real names should and could have been on there..


and I think their chemistry is dope.. Big Money is average but beat is bangin.. and a lot of the other shit they did together back then and just now is dope..

I forget where I read it but apparently Cool & Dre didn't do EVERY single beat on that mixtape

dope boyz or someone produced a few cuts

That is not Kobe on the hook.  Are y'all crazy?  The hook itself is part of the sample.

The original track, which happens to be a cover from my understanding, is this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma-l-2izB_s

It's called You Are The Blood by Sufjan Stevens.

Pretty sure when they said Kobe was on the hook they were talking about "The Way The Game Goes" not "You are the blood"

This song is so wack. Wow.

First of all let me explain, I used to be into hip hop when I was way younger, but I've somewhat gotten back into some of it. And I'm waiting for Detox just like the rest of you guys. And I think Game is pretty good, but whatever. I'm also into a lot of different stuff like indie, jazz, electronic, rock n roll, etc. So anyways, when I heard this song I couldn't believe it, since an artist from another genre that I like did the version this sampled.

Cool and Dre produced this? They did a shit job. All they did was take a Sufjan Stevens song called "You Are The Blood" (which is written by a guy named Ray Raposa who fronts a project called Castanets) and just threw Game's shit on there.

Now here's the real kicker. Sufjan Stevens is a great devoutly Christian singer/songwriter and to have this bum ruining this song is like this ridiculous. Cool and Dre just put some shit ass beat on top of the song.

If you wanna hear real creativity, check out this version
