Czar's Sample of the Week

What's up fellow Tim stans?!?!?! I know it isn't Friday, but I'm just getting back in town, and I thought that I'd do an early/late (depending on how you look at it) sample of the week installment.

But before I go into this week's sample, I need to address some things. First off, I would like to thank everyone who downloaded Volume 8. It was the last one and it meant a lot to be when I got e-mails and stuff like that from people who downloaded the mix and gave me props lol. To answer a question that everyone has been asking, I will not be doing a tracklisting of the samples. I never did a tracklisting for any of my mixes, and I decided to stay with that for my last mix. However, J-Boogie has agreed to try and put together a tracklist for vol 8, so be on the lookout for that. Also, for people who wanted to know why some samples that I initially suggested were going to be on volume 8 were dropped, the reason is kind of complicated. When I put togther a mix, I have a lot samples in the mix, but when I decide to "drop" the mix, myself along with other people who help me with the mix decide to leave some of the samples off. Sometimes it's because I'm undecided if it's the actual sample, sometimes it's because it's an interpolation and not a sample, sometimes it's because I don't have a solid quality version of the sample, and sometimes I just don't feel like that particular sample should be in a certain mix. So I hope that answers why some tracks that were suppose to be on volume 8 didn't make it (and yes, that means there are "unreleased" timbaland sample mixes lol). Lastly, I wanted to give a shout out to J-Boogie for doing the sample of the week last week while I was gone. And now to this week's sample...

Now, for the longest time I wondered what Tim sampled for Aaliyah's "We Need a Resolution." Did he sample an arabic track? Was it based off a Bollywood filmi? Well it turns out that it's neither. The track samples "Tricks of the Trade" off the soundtrack from the 1998 film Incognito. If you go to about 1:26 you'll hear the sample. I still can't believe how Tim chopped it up and made such a classic track like "We Need a Resolution." Now, I can't and won't take the credit for finding this sample (shout out to JAb!!!), but I thought that I would share this will all my Timstans.

That's it for this week's sample of the week. Remember to check back next week for another installment of Czar's Sample of the Week.

Peace,
Czar
