Throwback Thursday | Wallace Collection
So last night at karaoke I was singing Lupe Fiasco’s “Daydreamin’” ft. Jill Scott and when I finished, a friend of mine said, “Nice I Monster remix you did there.” I kinda just looked at him blankly. I had no idea what he meant. So I looked it up when I got home. Turns out Lupe sampled from a song by European electro group I Monster who, in turn, heavily sampled from a 1970 song by Gunter Kallman Choir. But it doesn’t end there. The 1970 song was “Daydream” and was actually a cover of a song that came out in 1968. In other words, it goes kinda something like this:

Hi, found you via Hype Machine. Thanks for sharing this! Embarrassingly, turns out I’ve been giving the Beta Band way too much credit.
:X
Actually had to look this one up for the reference. Here’s Beta Band’s “Squares” which also samples Wallace Collection.

Woah, this is really, really interesting! Nice detective work thur.
[...] Lupe’s version. His gangsta lyrics on this slow and dreamy song was pretty…. special. He made it all clear in the [...]
Portishead’s “Glory Box” has a direct lift of the Daydream bass line as well.
@Kelly, Thanks. Didn’t know that.
Take a listen.
