Kendrick Lamar - The Recipe ft. Dr. Drehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpugK0RpEaU

Looping sample: "Meet the Frownies" by Twin Sisterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-F7AS-Xhus

 

Instinctively, the sample is for me softening the whole song, giving in it another dimension, almost psychedelic. I like the mix of this  female vocalist, who is actually singing "smokin' weed with you" with the verses performed by Lamar and Dr. Dre. Women weed and weather. The synergy is here. 

I personally see Lamar as a well-rounded and inspiring person, so picking a small indie band is another proof of his intelligent approach when it comes to hip hop. He is setting himself apart. 

It is also a very smart way to bridge worlds. As you can hear Dr Dre say in the Youtube ad attached to the song: "we put all our frustration into our music, and now our music is the most powerful weapon we got"

 

Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q. and Twista made their own remix of The Recipe
