dj zenn<p>1000 Day Album Challenge (#75) No Rights Given Or Implied: The Original Samplers (1993) [15.03.24]</p><p>and say children what does it all mean?…</p><p>I don’t know when I first heard Double Dee &amp; Steinski’s The Payoff Mix (Mastermix Of G.L.O.B.E. And Whiz Kid's Play That Beat Mr. D.J.). I must have heard it half a dozen times or so on the radio when I was home from school. I was blown away and knew I had to have it.</p><p>in 1983 Tommy Boy had sponsored a contest to remix G.L.O.B.E. and Whiz Kid’s electro jam of the past summer, Play That Beat Mr. D.J. Douglas DiFranco and Steve Stein submitted their cut &amp; paste masterpiece. if you have heard it then you knew the contest was over when ever the judges first listened to it. for a brilliant discussion of this check out Robert Christgau’s Down by Law: Great Dance Records You Can't Buy (<a href="https://robertchristgau.com/xg/rock/steinski-86.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">robertchristgau.com/xg/rock/st</span><span class="invisible">einski-86.php</span></a>)</p><p>Tommy Boy released The Payoff Mix and Lessons Two: James Brown Mix and Three: History of Hip Hop Mix as a promo-only record in 1985. each mix is constructed from dozens of samples and clearly stand alone as new pieces of music worthy of repeated listening and great attention. I don’t believe I have ever scene a copy in the field. it is the one record for which I ALWAYS kept an eye open.</p><p>finally in 1993 or 1994, I came across this bootleg CD released in 1993, No Rights Given Or Implied: The Original Samplers. it featured the Lessons as well as other brilliant examples of cut n’ paste productions – two other Steve Stein works credited to Steinski &amp; Mass Media, Afrika Bambaataa’s Fusion Beats, The Latin Rascals’ Big Apple Production Vol. II - Genius At Work, Danny Krivit’s Feelin’ James and Say Kids (What Time Is It?) and Beats &amp; Pieces by Coldcut (British DJs and producers, Jonathan More and Matt Black).</p><p>I couldn’t believe it. even though I was always on the lookout for The Lessons I had given up on ever owning them. I never really made the transition to CDs. at the time I might have owned no more than a dozen or two. I was strictly a vinyl guy. so even though I would have preferred to own Double Dee &amp; Steinski’s The Lessons on vinyl I was fine with settling for a bootleg CD compilation that gave me ready access to these brilliant songs.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/1000DayAlbumChallenge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1000DayAlbumChallenge</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NoRightsGivenOrImpliedTheOriginalSamplers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoRightsGivenOrImpliedTheOriginalSamplers</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DoubleDeeAndSteinski" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoubleDeeAndSteinski</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheLessons</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CutNPaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CutNPaste</span></a></p>
