Holy Thursday
Artist: David Axelrod
Released: 1968
Sampled On…:
Lil Wayne "Dr. Carter" (2008)
(Produced By Swizz Beatz)
David Axelrod
Amir Says: After The Beatnuts used on "Hit Me With That" in ’94, everyone found out who did this song, and it opened up a can of worms.
Kon Says: The playing is so in the pocket—the bassist he used to use in his sessions was Carol Kaye, a female bassist, and her sound was nuts. She really had some chops and she still does stuff today. Axelrod just kicked ass. It was kind of experimental and it had to do with religion. Back in the 90’s, everybody was on David Axelrod’s nuts. That guy deserves it though. That dude does heavy, moody-ass ill shit.

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.
