Cardova
Artist: The Meters
Released: 1969
Sampled On…:
MC Lyte "Shut The Fuck Up, Hoe!" (1989)
(Produced By Audio Two)
The Meters
Kon Says: Another band that I think should get a lot more credit than they do. No one really had that kind distinct rhythm and swing between the bass system and the drummer. From New Orleans. They were so good, in fact, that the Rolling Stones had them open up some tours in the ’70s. I don’t know if that would be my cut from them…
Amir Says: The Meters are all over ’80s hip hop. The one who used that the best was MC Lyte. For some reason, her using it for that Antionette diss really stands out to me.

Also used by the Bomb Squad again on 'Night of the Living Baseheads'. I reckon the Isleys were first with this. JB had a bit of a rep for nicking other people's instrumentals. And replacing a vocal with horn lines seems more likely than the reverse.
