Rewind: Lootpack 'Soundpieces: Da Antidote' (Part 1)

After forming in the early 90s, the Lootpack's first big break with their production and guest verse contribution to the Alkaholik's '21 & Over' album cut 'Turn tha Party Out' in 1993. Six years later, the Lootpack (made up of Madlib, Wildchild, and DJ Romes), released their first (and to date, only) album titled 'Soundpieces: Da Antidote'. This two part arc will cover the sample sources for this early Madlib production credit.

The album's single 'Whenimondamic' samples B.T. Express' 'Do it ('Til Your Satisfied)' album track 'If It Don't Turn You On (You Outta Leave It Alone)'. The album track 'Crate Diggin'', as the name implies, digs a little deeper for Vanilla Fudge's cover of the Beatles' 'Eleanor Rigby' and David Axelrod's 'Merlin's Prophecy' from his 1968 debut album 'Song of Innocence'. On 'Frenz Vs Endz', Madlib samples Miles Davis' classic album 'Bitches Brew' by plucking bits from 'Miles Tuns the Voodoo Down'.
