Woot!!

unk:

Seems that I remember Busta Rhymes doing a sample of this cut....yes? :mello:

Or am I thinking about Rick James tht he sampled?
Ah well. No matter....still a classic.

Yeah, that was Rick James Busta sampled.

Too Short sampled Donny's "Ghetto" and Gerald LeVert (RIP) sung the chorus.

^ i've never heard that Too Short tune (let alone knew who he was until you mentioned him lol). but Eric B sampled the awesome 12 minute live version. his Wurly keys are out of this world here.

Wonderful song and a massively underappreciated artist.. Imo..

I always dig out the Donny for Christmas.. This Christmas is such a fantastic novelty-free soulful christmas tune.

I have that live album. Really amazing. Little Ghetto Boy is an amazing track as well. Hell, Donny was incredible... shame he went so young, he was only getting started.

That live version is killer. Loved it when he got the crowd into the chorus. Donny was a man of the people. :yes:
