Random iPod Track of the Week - Outkast "So Fresh So Clean"

Outkast's "So Fresh So Clean" is by far one of their best tracks and possibly one of my favorite Hip Hop tracks of all time.  It's just a smooth and relaxing joint that makes you feel good and gets your head noddin'.  It makes me want to sit by the pool with a Corona and just chill.   

My boy Sully was doing a little research on Hip Hop samples and he sent me this one about Outkast using an interpolation of Joe Simon's "Before The Night Is Over" which gave me the idea for this post.  Although it is not an exact sample of the song, as you can tell by the first few seconds of the track, Outkast did use it as the main influence for the song's hook, melody and beat.  They did a nice job of not murdering the original but still giving it their own unique twist.   

Sample/Interpolation from Joe Simon's "Before The Night Is Over"

This is a sick mashup from YouTuber DaBeatBreak which joins the two tracks into one sick remix.  I'm not sure if he made this himself but it's nasty, regardless:
