Kevin Casey’s Sample Saturday – The Whispers et Mobb Deep

For all those sample heads that read these posts check out this Complex Magazine’s writeup; “The 50 Greatest Samples of all Time.” Mobb Deep’s involvement in the East/West feud of the mid-nineties is no secret.  In an alleged, but pretty clear response to 2Pac, the group decided to “Drop A Gem On ‘Em” for the [...]
