Malcolm X - No Sell Out
Here's a re-rip of an old post from back in February 2009, this time available as a choice of 16-bit or 24-bit FLAC files. I've been having issues following a software update for my sound card drivers, and this was one of the records ripped before those problems.
This 1983 12" was one of the first tracks to feature sampling, with samples of Malcolm X speeches over a hard bass, guitar and hip-hop drum groove laid down by Keith LeBlanc and fellow Furious Five member, Reggie Griffin. Originally on Tommy Boy Records in the US, it was eventually to see a worldwide distribution after a deal with Island Records.
Ripped from a 12" vinyl record released on Island Records (12 IS165) to high resolution FLAC audio.
