Title: Slim Shady LP Sampling
Post by: Sikotic™ on February 16, 2001, 07:10:58 PM

I know he copied the drum beat from Curtis Mayfirld's "Pusher Man" for the song "I'm Shady"

He even borrowed some of his lines for that same song.

Due to the heavy Curtis Mayfield sampling on Doggystyle i bet it was dre's idea to sample him on that..i know dre didn't produce the track but still that's not a far-fetched assumption,just sayin',peace-Tanjint

This is what he said in his book 'Angry Blonde' about "I'm Shady":

"This is a song I wrote in Kim's upstair's apartment.  Oh, the memories. I originally wrote this to one of Sade's tracks. I thought of the bass line and we made the song. I already had the rhyme written, so we did the track to the rhyme. Then I kind of fucked with Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman". It's funny 'cause I didn't get the idea from Mayfield's song. I got it from Ice-T's "Power" record. I didn't know Ice got it from "Pusherman". I used the melody, but I changed the words."
