1. ...Or Die Trying

When Granddad and the kids get into the car, and after Huey trips the alarm, the instrumental (which seems like it was made just for the series) sounds like it uses an edited sample from Millie Jackson's version of "If Loving You is Wrong, I don't Wanna be Right" (Not 100% sure on this)

When Huey is sneaking past the guards, the beat uses contains a sample of Theme from Enter the Dragon

The beat that plays when Ruckus and Huey fight (also made just for the series) uses a sample from the Phyllis Hyman song "Loving You, Losing You" I had punished long to find this.... This 9th Wonder beat was made just for the show and isn't featured on any song! However, the beat off 'Superstar' from Hong Kong rap group 24 Herbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJHZiECvfhE uses the same sample.

Will edit and update as new information comes in. If it's not on the list.....then most likely no one knows it at the moment!

[zevin64]

Kinda "found" the ghostface/huey/tree scene music. It won't be a satisfying answer to some people. (will edit with details later)

EDIT

Ok, to attempt to bring some closure to this:

1. The music that plays was made by hiphop producer 9th Wonder, according to Boondocks producer Carl Jones via Myspace.

2. The beat is not featured on any song (I'm extremely sure about this) and was made/used just for that scene of the show.

3. The beat contains a sample from Freda Payne's "Suddenly Its Yesterday" from her 1971 Album 'Contact' that was chopped up pretty well [credits to soulbro72 from the-breaks for the find]. Sample:

The lyrics to the first song, from what I grabbed from the part of the episode, are sort of as follows:

And the second song, the chorus is something like "I know she no good but she good to me" and it repeats a couple of times.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

Both songs are done by Asheru & Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard. (Asheru is the guy who does The Boondocks theme song)

In regards to the song played in Guess Hoe's Coming to Dinner:

It was apparently exclusively recorded for that segment of the show, and does not appear elsewhere on any album or mixtape of his to my knowledge.

So unfortunately there's your answer

I'm pretty sure the song played in the Itis was similarly also recorded just for that episode. I'm not an Asheru fan and I don't have his albums so you could try and locate his albums and check for yourself if you want.

I read earlier on that the song in the itis was called Good Times, and it was posted on Asheru's myspace, but that was a while ago and he took it down. Does anyone have it? I googled it and got no results.

anyway, I'm so glad that this show still exists. bring on Ceasar!

Much of the incidental music was done by members of the horn section "The Regiment," Kevin Williams and Sean Erick. Sean plays trumpet and flugelhorn, his solos are featured on "Invasion of the Katrinians," and Kevin plays trombone and flute. I believe he plays the tail end flute riffs. They played on most of the second season.

I had a look through the thread to see if it's been resolved yet, but I didn't see it. Five minutes into Ep 201, Or Die Trying, when they pull out of the driveway to head to the theater, theres a trumpet/guitar piece with a bongo beat, anyone know if thats sampled from something? I remember hearing it in a few other instances as well, which makes me think it was made for the show.

[zevin64]

Can't find it at the moment, perhaps you could try asking Asheru on Myspace?

[HustleFace]

ok well if anybody finds it plz send it to my email:caramelboy88@hotmail.co.uk

[Bookman]

This song (which others tell me is Marvin Gaye "all I Need") is what I believe was sampled for Method Man feat Mary "All I Need". NOt the popular remix/video...the album joint.

It was background during the Roscoe Patterson scene in "Get Rich or Die", the opening scene of "home Alone" when the boys were fighting and at least two other scens which I cannot cite right now. Can you help?

THANKS

Doesn't sound like that's the "song" played in the Roscoe Patterson scene.

[zevin64]

For Killer Kung-Fu Wolf *****:
Beat played when Luna first shows up to the Freeman's house, samples Ain't Got The Love (Of One Girl On My Mind) by Ambassadors.
