Galt MacDermot in his basement
While most of you will go like 'who the fuck?', Galt MacDermot is one of the old white guys praised and respected by any good hiphop producer for creating a huge catalogue of really dope beats and soundscapes. MacDermot, best known for his production on the musical 'Hair', was sampled numerous times by a whole range of contemporary producers and artists like DJ Vadim, DJ Premier, Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Busta Rhymes, MF DOOM, Handsome Boy Modelling School and many many more. Listening to the original, you can only conclude one doesn't need that much talent to create a dope beat samplin' Galt's shit. Damn! Makes me wanna break my promise never to watch a musical voluntarily (no 'next Maria'-shit here, though). I'll hook you up with some links of MacDermot's compositions plus some of the 'new' shit using his samples.
1. 'Ripped Open By Metal Explosions' by Galt MacDermot -> sampled for 'Brooklyn Hard Rock' by Thirstin Howl III (Soundbombing II)
2. 'Space' by Galt MacDermot -> sampled for Busta Rhymes' 'Woo Hah!'
3. 'Coffee Cold' by Galt MacDermot -> sampled by Handsome Boy Modeling School for 'The Truth' (ft. Roisin Murphy & J-Live)
4. 'Harlem Medley' by Galt MacDermot -> sampled by Madlib for Quasimoto's 'Discipline 99 Pt.0'
Oh No (Madlib's brother) made a whole album using nothing but Galt MacDermot-samples: 'Exodus Into Unheard Rhythms'; check the song 'T.Biggums' (ft. Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow)
Oh No loungin' with Galt MacDermot
