GOOD COVER
What's My Name?
Snoop Dogg
uses interpolations from
Atomic Dog
George Clinton
WEST COAST and all that tomfoolery, this is some classic 90's Hip-Hop courtesy of Snoop/Dr. Dre back when they made records worth giving a crap for. Rich, thick, sweaty grooves. The song is actually made up of two George Clinton tunes, broken down the bassline is a drone version of Parliament's "Not Just Knee Deep" also made popular by De la Soul (see last post) and the chorus line is 'borrowed/stolen' from George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" including some additional "bow-wow-wow-yippy-yo-yippy-yeahs" for good measure.
The original, Atomic Dog is pure 80's electrofunk. It's actually pretty terrible, lacks any kind of definition in structure and drags on as it goes thorough numerous synth experimentations but still, a classic. A terrible classic. Snoop Dogg, a self-confirmed fanboy of all things Parliament/Funkadelic, even went on to duet with George Clinton and Bootsy Collins in later studio albums.
BAD COVER
Born This Way
Lady Gaga
completely rips off
You Dropped A Bomb On Me
The Gap Band
Now don't get me wrong, I could tolerate the first album by Lady Gaga as the production was phenomenal however this new direction of Clubland versions of AC/DC is just cack and the chorus line is stolen from the verses of The Gap Band's "You Dropped A Bomb On Me". Listen carefully and you'll see what I mean.
There is a 13 minute version of this song if you look hard enough. Yes, yes there is a God afterall...
