I'm on the fence with the beat re-using as well; two recent examples would be Ghostface's "Ghost Is Back," where he absolutely kills the Eric B. track, and Mos Def's "Crime and Medicine," which could almost be considered outright disrespect of "Liquid Swords." But you're right - a lot of it depends on one's perspective.
Great post!
Shit, have never heard that Kidz track before - actively went and dug for Heather for about 6 months after 93 came out (remember this is pre internet) and after hearing had nothing but respect for the way they flipped it.
Great post J.
The reason I liked the Kidz in the Hall track when I first heard it (besides the fact that they hail from Chicago) was because it seemed like it was a tribute to the Souls track. Especially with the ('o6 till) in the title. I agree, though, that this opinion changes depending on the artist, content, etc.
Yeah, it definitely depends. Personally I like the Kidz track... but I'm from the Bay, so you KNOW which one's my favorite.
The Kidz album overall is pretty good, but fun side-note: theirs is yet ANOTHER record that came out recently to use the "Shaft In Africa" sample.
"Artest wears the number 93 with Sacramento because he says it represents the Queensbridge projects where he grew up, with the "9" representing the "Q" in Queens and the "3" representing the "B" in Bridge." -

your explanation sounds more believable though...
9=Q and 3=B?
that's 9uite a 3it of 3ull$#!+.
i hadn't heard that explanation, but i've heard some others for the 93 including a tribute to dennis rodman (who wore 91 late in his career and 10 early on so i didn't follow how 93 was supposed to be a tribute to him).
bottom line...ron artest is loopy. i think his album sold like 93 copies so that can be a new reason.
