12/3/2005 - Move On Up
Song: Move On Up (Extended Version)
Artist: Curtis Mayfield
Why this song is the current jam: OK so for Saturday and Sunday this weekend, I'll be posting some old school jams that have ended up as some recent new school jams. This first by Curtis Mayfield is off of his amazing album,Curtis. This may be my favorite Curtis Mayfield song, I am not sure. It is up there at least. I just got a bunch of his albums and they are all good. You have likely heard this song as one of the jams off of Kanye's new album, the song is Touch the Sky. Bonus track today is the beat from Lose Control by Missy. The beat was lifted pretty much 100% from this old electrofunk band called Cybotron and their cut Clear. Both of these songs are huge bites, but I still do give some credit to them both. Kanye's track (actually produced by fellow Rock-a-Fella house producer Just Blaze) has a lush arrangement and some tight drums supporting it, and Missy just basically takes a good track and makes it better by turning up the hype-o-meter about 300%, with her vocals, the breaks, and mainly by adding Fatman Scoop, the Lil Jon of NYC to holler on the track.
