You know what time it is.
This guest mix for WhoSampled and WaxPoetics was first published a couple of months ago in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the release of Grand Puba's classic debut LP 'Reel to Reel'. Here's what they had to say about it at the time:
"Grand Puba's debut LP 'Reel to Reel' was recorded in the wake of Puba's departure from Brand Nubian and the largely self-produced long player is more closely aligned sonically with the Nubians' early work than the harder edged material they became known for post-split. Production wise it's a relatively simple affair with catchy jazz loops and funk breaks providing the backdrop for Puba's light hearted braggadocio. Staple samples (James Brown adlibs and the ubiquitous drums of The Honey Drippers' 'Impeach') rub shoulders with more obscure selections (Byrdie Green, Nathan Davis) to create a dynamic palate of sample material. Soul too is well represented with Otis Redding and Gladys Knight both making multiple appearances in our tracklist."
