Chocolate Buttermilk
Artist: Kool and the Gang
Released: 1969
Sampled On…:
Pete Rock & CL Smooth "Straighten It Out" (1992)
(Produced By Pete Rock)
Kool and the Gang
Amir Says: Most people hear Kool and the Gang and they think "Cherish" and all the other wack-ass disco songs they had. No one knows they started as a jazz/funk group doing ill breaks. The only group, on record, that James Brown ever said was just as funky as him was Kool and the Gang.
Kon Says: “Chocolate Buttermilk,” that was used by Eric B & Rakim a few times, but it's been sampled so many times for so many different things.

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.
