hip hop originals, part 3


Minnie Riperton - Baby, This Love I Have [from Adventures In Paradise, 1975]

As I said, the beat for Tribe's "Check The Rhime" isn't entirely original. It comes from a ten second loop off the very beginning of this track by Miss Riperton, she of the insanely high-octave vocal reach. Everybody knows "Loving You," from the Burger King commercial and/or South Park, but she was fairly well known for her mid-70s albums in general. This song is just modern enough, slightly touching cheesy new-soul, but not enough to detract from the straight up sensualness of it.
