Rewind: Diamond and the Psychotic Neurotics 'Stunts, Blunts, and Hip Hop' (Part 2)

Welcome to the second part of our 3 part look at Diamond and the Psychotic Neurotics' 1992 album 'Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop'.

'I'm Outta Here', produced by Diamond D and Showbiz samples the funk rock album cut 'Gotta Get Away' by the Flaming Embers. On 'Red Light, Green Light', Diamond rhymes over Baby Huey's 1971 song 'Hard Times' famously produced and written by Curtis Mayfield and 'Down by the River' by Band of Gypsys drummer Buddy Miles from his 1972 album 'Them Changes'. Jazzy Jay joins Diamond D on the mix for 'I Went for Mine' by using a sample from S.S.O. Orchestra's 'Faded Lady'. Diamond brings out some classic breaks on 'What You Seek' by sampling Sly and the Family Stones' single 'You Can Make it if You Try' and Kool and the Gang's 'Who's Gonna Take the Weight?'. For 'Lunchroom Chatter', the Psychotic Neurotics rhyme over Mel Brown's 'Indian Giver' and Jeff Beck's drum laden 'Come Dancing' from his 1976 album 'Wired'.

Check back for our final look at Diamond D's Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop' original sample sources.
