Another straightforward one (there are more interesting things coming honest). Scratchmaster Chuck T's Jazzy Way acapella over a couple of bits of the live version of Grover Washington Jnr’s Mr Magic.
The track with the vocal here isn’t particularly awesome - I came across it on the back of the whole DJ Kool, Sam the Beast etc Hip Hop/Go Go thing. Creative Funk put out the early DJ Kool stuff and I bought this just because of the label and it was 99c or something. I guess I really kept it for the acapella though and thought it would sound better with something a bit more live and suggestive of the Go Go sound.
It alternates between 2 sections of Mr Magic for verse/chorus but, to be honest, this could be a whole lot better - it could use some attention to the sound and some percussion would've helped it too i think. It's a bit flat.
Geeky bit - the Jazzy Way line is sampled from La Di Da Di by Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick. It might be more familiar recently as it was kind of interpolated and re-sung on Notorious BIG's Hypnotize (though it’s changed to “Flashy Ways”).

I couldn’t find this for download, but the vinyl isn’t hard to get - there are some for sale on discogs.
