well.. I hate to burst your bubble but wasn't it Jefferson Airplane that originally scored this song? Its undeniable that Tom sure did make it HIS song tho and gave it what it was missing.
You know this had to be an epic song. This song was originally done by Jefferson Airplane in 1967. Then it was covered by Tom Scott that same year. Then it was sampled by Pete Rock & CL Smooth in the 90's. Then it was used in an episode of the Boondocks in 2005. Good music lives forever.... It never dies.
Boondocks is how I came to hear. But I heard it sampled in the past which is what peaked my interest. It was the They Reminecse Over You (TROY) song you mentioned by Pete. Which I had only ever heard in NBA Street Legends the game back in 2003.
@@SuperstarDJSupreme I disagree. God is the created and Lord of all things, but I think even He will tell you that when it comes to producing dope tracks, He’s no Pete Rock.
Shouldn't it make you realize how much of a genius Tom Scott? why is the guy who just copy and pasted his work getting more credit that the person who performed it. I'd give Pete credit for his lyrics and his flow, but not for finding and using someone else's song.
"I had a friend of mine that passed away, and it was a shock to the community. I was kind of depressed when I made it. And to this day, I can't believe I made it through, the way I was feeling. I guess it was for my boy. When I found the record by Tom Scott, basically I just heard something incredible that touched me and made me cry. It had such a beautiful bassline, and I started with that first. I found some other sounds and then heard some sax in there and used that. Next thing you know, I have a beautiful beat made" - Pete Rock in a 2007 interview
Perhaps it touches a part of your soul that calls back to a time when all your dreams seemed possible and the world was a magical place. Or perhaps you're a sentimental sap, take your pick.
Rest in peace Trouble T Roy aka Troy Dixon. Pete Rock is the greatest hip hop producer of all time because of the presence and inspiration you had on his life. 💯
Riley Wuz here has got to be my favorite episode. Even though the red ball and stink meaner 3: hateocracy are way fucking awesome. I just like the depth of Riley's character we got to see here....plus Huey's ignant ass side lol
This truly has the 60s written ALL over it. What a grand sound, even to be sampled in a rap classic from Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth in the 90s, this is a MAJOR masterpiece!

i dont know about anyone else, but this song makes it seem like the world is a perfect place where there is no wars or corruption... just green meadows and flower fields...
@@YeezyMcgeezy It a commonly known story in Hip Hop. Pete and CL had finished the song with a completely different sample. Large Professor had given Pete the vinyl for Tom Scott "Today" and Pete made a remix for T.R.O.Y. using the sample which became the famous version we now all know. I heard it in an interview years back.
🎵🎶I reminisce for a spell, or shall I say think back/ Twenty-two years ago to keep it on track/ The birth of a child on the 8th of October/ A toast, but my granddaddy came sober/.....

How did Pete Rock even find this tune in the millions and millions of records out there and it is just the perfect piece of music to make his song perfection... Trouble T-Roy, comin at ya!!!
Dear hip-hop, thank you for helping me find tons more awesome music to listen to. I only wish there were more black musicians out there in bands. It's like 90% white unless you want blues. Where's the black rock and funk? It needs to come back. I want to hear what Pete would sound like on a synth or bass. It could be crazy...

And Troy Dixon too (AKA Trouble T-Roy), along with Heavy D (May they both RIP)

Lmao ridiculous comment. Wonderful to pat yourself on the back this way. You should go on tour with your comedy.
This one white guy named Elvis took blues and that makes all white people incredibly talented ;)
