I went ahead and included two full versions of tracks that were only snippets on the original vinyl of Tribe Vibes 3 because they are just that dope- Joe Farrell's "Upon This Rock"(which was sampled by Wu Tang for something in this century that I just can't remember right now and the drums were used by all these people and more) and Cannonball Adderley's "Walk Tall".

Of course there are mad tracks on here that have been sampled by many other people since, as on all Tribe Vibes. The first cut, "Star Of The Story", is an Rn'B joint that you either hate or love. I'll admit that it's pretty cheesy, but I like it, who cares. It was also used for that Smif N Wessun white label, "Nothing Move But The Money", which you can download here.

There's just a ton of great music on here. I'm not gonna waste any more of your time trying to make a case for it. It's Tribe Vibes. You know what it is. Enjoy.

If You Missed The First Two Volumes:

Tribe Vibes Vol.1

Tribe Vibes Vol.2

And stay tuned for Volume 4.

As is par for Strictly Breaks' Tribe Vibes series, you're getting a massive amount of funk, soul, and jazz here on Volume 2. From 'Nappy Dugout' to 'North Carolina' to 'Just Enough Room For Storage', your appetite for greezy, gutbucket type funk will be straight. On the soul and RnB tip, 'Pity For The Lonely', early 80's sounding 'Beddie Bye', and the sampled a thousand times over 'Inside My Love' should keep your lady in the mood to deal with your punk ass. Closing this volume out is a spiritual jazz track called 'Soft Spirit'. You'll hear the sample for 'The Hop' in the intro, but it veers off into a deep reservoir of space jazz from that point on.

Even if you had these, you still may want them again being that we including an extra here and there that weren't on the original vinyls.

Catch Volume One here.

Volumes 3 and 4 coming soon, stay tuned...

I was originally going to give yall two volumes of these Tribe Vibes at a time, but they're just too damn great. I don't want them to get lost in the infinite sauce of T.R.O.Y. downloads that are clogging up your hd's. These really deserve thorough listens, especially this one. Just picking out samples that other people used since is enough to keep you busy for a while. And if you need an intro into funk laced soul and jazz music, this is a great start.

If you're not familiar with Jagger The Dagger by Eugene McDaniels, you'll immediately recognize it as being sampled a number of times for some other pretty notable rap joints. I bugged when I first heard this song and it remains one of my favorite funk tracks of all time. The shit is just straight rugged and evil sounding. Like many other originals, I heard this one after hearing the hip hop usage and couldn't believe just how great it was. Which leads me to this -

What gets you more hype when hearing samples?

Actually knowing what was sampled as soon as you hear the hip hop track?

Or finding the sample after hearing the hip hop track?

For me, it's probably a little bit of both. On one hand, I feel like I know my shit when I know the original first. But sometimes it takes away from the freshness if you already heard the sample. There's even times I feel that the original was so good it shouldn't have been touched at all.

On the other side, there's a certain rush I get when I stumble on an ill sample that I never knew about. Especially if it's off a real tough record or somewhere nobody would have thought it was on.

If you have a preference, hit up the comments.

Thanks to HHIR for the full versions of Absolutions, Outside Love, and Ekim.
