Welcome to our second look at the sample sources of Madlib's expansive beat tape 'Beat Konducta Vol 1-2'.
For the heavy diggers, Madlib doesn't disappoint by sampling Lotti Golden's 'Motor-Cycle Michael' on 'Gold Jungle (Tribe)'. By contrast, the source for 'Pyramids (Change)' is the hit single 'Risin' to the Top' from Keni Burke's post-Five Stairsteps 1982 album 'Changes'. Madlib samples Raymond Scott again, this time using the bizarre 'IBM MT/ST: The Paperwork Explosion' for 'West Coast (Coastin')'. For 'Box Top (Cardboard Dues)', Madlib samples 'Trapped' from Elmer Bernstein's soundtrack to the 1974 film 'Gold'. The early solo Diana Ross cut 'Keep an Eye' from her self titled album is the source for Madlib's 'Friends (Foes)'. 'Too Fat (Ghettozone)' uses a sample of Garland Green's 'I Can't Believe You Quit Me' from his 1969 album 'Jealous Kind of Fella'. Finally, the rock band Vanilla Fudge is sampled on 'Money Hugger (Gold Diggin')', which takes part of the 'Rock and Roll' album cut 'Street Walkin' Woman'.
Check back for our third and final look at Madlib's 'Beat Konducta Vol 1-2'.

Madlib samples Lotti Golden's "Motor-Cycle Michael" on "Rewind: Madlib "Beat Konducta Vol 1-2, (CD). The result is the critical mass produced by the merging of genius: "Gold Jungle Tribe." Madlib reworks Golden's African rhythms into cool chaos using a sample from Golden's "Motor-Cycle" LP on Atlantic Records (not yet on CD).
I am a crazed Madlib fan because he is so smart. He proves it by using a Lotti Golden sample.The track is from her debut 1969 LP on Atlantic Records, "Motor-Cycle," inspired by Olatungi's afro drums. The result: cool.
