Scribbler's Borrowers & Lenders of the Week: Big K.R.I.T., "Boobie Miles"

There's a huge reason why Big K.R.I.T. is one of my favorite rappers and producers among the newer breed of hip-hop artists: he has an awesome ear for good music, particularly in picking samples.  When I first heard "Boobie Miles" from 4eva N A Day (2012), I was absolutely in love with the song just because of the sample.  He could've been talking about penguins and polar bears over that beat and I would've thought it was the greatest song ever--or at least of 2012.  However, he actually spit something of worth and made an extremely motivational music video--a rarity among today's "creative" minds.  Hence, here's the version as made popular by this week's "borrower":

Scribbler's Throwback of the Week: The Nutty Professor Quartet Grand Finale

 

If you've been following this portion of my "Throwback of the Week" series, then you already know what time it is: "Lillo, Peabo, Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass...TEDDY P!"  The late, great Philly soul singer rounds out my aptly-named quartet, but I'm throwing y'all a curve ball: I'm not featuring "Close the Door"...kinda.  I know, don't be so disappointed, but what person that calls themselves an R&B fan doesn't know that song?  Besides, we do things a little different 'round here, slim.  So I started thinking about Teddy P songs sampled in hip-hop songs, and I had quite a few choices.  "Love TKO" is too easy and so is "Come Go With Me".  Almost rolled with "Can't We Try", which was sampled in Ghostface Killah's "Camay".  However, I dug a little more for a record that not everybody knows about but is still one of his better songs: "Easy, Easy, Got To Take It Easy".
