"Knock Knock" - "Clapback"

[Loose Cannon]

If anybody's heard both of these songs, they sound like almost the same sample in the back.
Knock Knock is form GZA if you didnt know. And Clapback is from Ja Rule, but go check those out.

I just got the GZA's most recent LP, i love it, but i was lisenin and i heard that.

 

[Manji]

Yeah but there's a difference.

GZA's version is tight and Ja rule's version is wack.

Just thought I'd clarify that for you

yo helix is ur GZA album like edited? i bought it with the parental advisory sticker but like most of the shit is edited. Other than that an amazing album, im too lazy to run up and compare the songs, so ill drop my 2 cents tomorow

If u listen to that song Wayne Wonder-no holding back and listen to that song with that girl Lumidee.The one she did with Fabolous and,Busta rhymes.Those two songs have the same rhythm.

 

[Guevara]

THATS THE DWALi RiDDiM AND SEAN PAUL USED iT TOO, AS WELL AS 50 oTHER ARTiST, HEARD SHoRTY SPENT HALF HER BUDGET ON THAT SAMPLE ToO.CiTY

 

[mod1]

I would have never brought that sample if I knew someone else had used it.I like my own shit,know what i'm saying Guevara.

 

[berserk]

ja rules song is fucking shit... it is the worst ja rule song i have ever heard... i actually think he deserves to be shot for this piece of turd... gza's track however is tight... who the fuck's that knockin at my door... but i never noticed any similarity... but i'm sure there is... like that wu tang song and stompdashitoutu by cnn & mop...

 

[Loose Cannon]

"But if you listen to the first verse he says something about not needing to curse to get his point across"

I said that earlier, i found out exactly.

GZA "Knock Kncok"(first verse):

"I'm the insane slang kicker with no parental sticker/
Advisin yall that wise words is much slicker..."

I think thats right.
But he goes on about about how other rappers waste there time tryin to be cool by cursin. And how he can lay it down smooth witout the curses.

 

[Tim D]

yea GZA is a true fuckin Genius

 

[mod1]

I never listen to GZA.It's just not my style or should I say it's not my cup of tea.

 

[Copenhagen]

Both "Clapback" and "Knock Knock" seem to use James Brown's "Blues & Pants".
Also, every big dancehall act had sampled Diwali Riddim by Lenky, before any of the above-mentioned did (Buju Banton, Elephant Man, Spragga Benz etc). There are whole CD's with differents artists over the Diwali beat. However, Lenky "stole" Diwali from Indian Bhangra so it's actually a Hindu beat.

 

[Loose Cannon]

ohh, i didnt know that.(i really didnt)

but mod,
if you like rap, gza is your style. If you dont listen to him because you never had the chance go get one of his albums. There all good, but i suggest "Beneath The Surface" (1999 MCA Records).

 

[afriquedeluxe]

da 2 trcks sound kinda similar now dat its been mentioned, but theres still alot of differences. da gza version however is much betta!!!!!!!!!!!!

If u want to get GZA at his best get Liquid Swords, RZA's production also shines on this amazing album
