Shaolin Soul Vol. 1


A little wonderful bird, who has the DC area on lock down, informed me of this amazing album consisting of the originals used to make the beats we all love found on Wu-Tang records. It is like a game listening to these tracks and finding which parts were sampled. The best part is the tracks are amazing just the way they are. There are three other volumes of these records so if this fits your fancy, there is more to enjoy.



Ann Peebles - Troubles, Heartaches & Sadness
O. V. Wright - Let's Straighten It Out
The Charmels - I'll Never Grow Old
David Porter - The Masquerade Is Over
Willie Mitchell - Groovin'
Al Green - "You Ought to Be with Me"
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "You're All I Need To Get By"
The Emotions - If You Think It (You May As Well Do It)
Bob James - "Nautilus"
Al Green - Gotta Find A New World
Donny Hathaway - Little Ghetto Boy (Live)
Syl Johnson - Could I Be Falling In Love
Wendy Rene - After Laughter (Comes Tears)
Lyn Collins - "Ain't No Sunshine"
The Dramatics - "In The Rain"
Gladys Knight & the Pips - The Way We Were
O.V. Wright - "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child"
Booker T. & the M.G.'s with Judy Clay - Children Don't Get Weary
Barry White - Mellow Mood (Part 1)

I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible
But when I swing my swords they all choppable
