Deadringer came out in 2002, my sophomore year in college. I was living in a dorm room, had just gotten my first MPC 2000XL and my friend R. would roll through like clockwork every single day to light up a blunt, breakdown song lyrics and just vibe to good music. I always say college is more about growth then actual school work and my musical experience was no different. Anyways, when Deadringer came out I was heavy into sampling songs to make beats so the first time I heard RJD2 mixing and matching endless samples I was nothing short of blown away. I think Ghostwriter is made up of about 10 or more different songs masterly crafted and arranged in an extremely creative, engaging and unique way. Your talking about songs from different time periods, with different styles and different artist all coming together to create and entirely new experience, for all the people who hate on sampling, that’s what a good producer even when he’s not sampling. Ghostwriter is an instrumental movie so just sit back and let the song take you somewhere else, enjoy.

I like sampling. I think of it as deconstructing something to create something new.
funny – I fell in love with the guy across the hall in my dorm (sophomore year, coincidentally) basically over this song… he used to play it all the time – such a great track!
Ha that's awesome. "Always something there to remind me."
Do you by any chance know where I can find which songs were sampled for this song?
Thanks =D
