Title: Menace II Society Song Question
Post by: Low Key on December 13, 2004, 10:23:38 PM

I know this sample was used for Cube's Ghetto Bird, but they used a different sample when they went over Watts in 93 with the camera on the helicopter. Is that the remix or something? Can someone hook it up for me if someone has it? Check it out:

It's called Funky Worm by the Ohio Players

oh yes.  Ohio Players - The Worm.  I fuckin luv this song.  I have been playing it a lot lately.  You're in luck, I actually been meaning to up it.  Let me go grab the cd rip it and I will up it.  This is a classic song, and basically if u don't like it, there is a 99% chance I don't like you.

Like previously said QDIII did the score for Menace II Society so Cube probably heard that beat and asked QDIII to make it a real song similar to how Dre had a different version of "If I Can't" on the Coors Light commercial and then the beat appeared on 50 Cent's LP.

P.S. Can someone "yousendit.com" the remix of MC Eiht "Streight Up Menace" which was played when Kane jacked that goof at the drive thru.

The song is mainly Atomic Dogg, with a little bit of Funky Worm sampled too.

The same thing happened when Boyz In The Hood came out. There is a part where the beat to Cubes A Bird In The Hand is playing, but it sounds a little different. Later that year the beat was used on Cubes Death Certificate.

Thanks for the help guys. I was playing GTA and I heard the song, and it just hit me. Now I can't stop playing it. I never really listened to funk before. My neighbor's dad has a whole bunch of P-Funk on vinyl, but that's about it.

Ohio Players - The Worm 

1 of the most sampled songs in Hip Hop, especially in the underground.
