bea321 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 On a MP3 blog, I came accross that: SOURCE:http://www.thepopview.com/wordpress/?p=21 The songs of summer — it’s so true. There’s something about certain songs that just mean summer. Over at Soul Sides, they’ve been running lists of summer songs (Check it out here, here, here, and here). Certain songs bring back memories of particular summers. For example, TLC’s “No Scrubs” was the summer jam of 1999; they played the damn thing every ten minutes and I never got tired of it. Prince’s whole Purple Rain album brings back the greatest summer of my life: 1984. Particularly memorable are the album track “When Doves Cry” and the B-side “Erotic City.” So, check out the comments from the beginning of the Soul Sides series (Go here and then to comments). Three people recommend DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s song “Summertime.” I hate that song! It’s a lame-ass summer song. You know why? Because it’s a total rip-off of the much superior “Summertime” that was released by Doug E. Fresh two years earlier, in 1989. Take a listen for yourself. Sorry that the audio isn’t the greatest quality. The song uses a sample from Dr. Savannah’s Original Buzzard Band’s “Sunshower,” which has also been referenced in the song “Sun Shawa” from the hot new British-Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A., who’s just been nominated for a Mercury Prize in Britain. Consider it a bonus summer song. _________________________________ I don't know the song "Summertime" by Doug E. Fresh... Do you know it, you? Doug E. Fresh has been an american "major rap star" according to the Wikipedia encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_E._Fresh)... In any case, if someone finds a link to listen to the song of Doug E. Fresh, put the link here please. I would like to compare both songs...

MaxFly Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Summertime is universally accepted as one of the best summer songs ever... I'd understand if they were hating on Gettin Jiggy Wit It or something... But Summertime... have people gone mad? Madatems... that's what they are... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bracesup Posted August 8, 2005 Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 There always will be someone to criticise a music artist. So it doesn't matter if one person didn't like Summertime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceAngel Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) That's crazy... Summertime is one of the greatest songs ever! Edited August 8, 2005 by FuNkY.FrEsH.ChIcK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bea321 Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yeah, "summertime" by JJFP is a great song but I would be really curious to hear "summertime" by Doug E. Fresh because all I read about him on Internet is really positive... He seems to be an interesting artist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerkot Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yeah of course, Doug E Fresh is really good but not that good without Slick Rick (Ricky D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
