dry bread - words to my song

i sometimes look at the videos from amoeba records on youtube since they have this segment called "what's in my/your bag" and they either catch or get a celebrity or someone(s) relevant musically or entertainment related. i don't remember from which video this recommendation is from however, i do know that it wasn't the particular song highlighted from this compilation.

the compo in question was a bahamian/west-indian funk thing from reissue label numero group. i was however intrigued and i listened to the samples on juno and then i was hooked on song #4 which was this track by cyril ferguson apparently but under the name of 'dry bread'

the song is this funky soul number and originally when i heard the sample on juno, there was a sense of "i have to sample this" because you have so much instrumental areas that scream "why aren't you jacking this you idiot". the reason is quite simple because since it's on a rare funk compilation, you know that you are not the first one to be fucking with it.

also because it's a track that doesn't require heavy chopping you are have to try to fuck with someone that doesn't need fucking with it. if that sounds illogical and stupid then don't make beats just follow push some keys on a 2$ casio synth and get some 808 drum samples and scream "yeaaaahhh" "oh-kay" on the track.

anyhow back to the song, i love this song and it was something that i had to buy since it was so awesome. a funky number with some heavy animosity in the lyrics and i think they are directed towards a record label or another artist since ferguson says:

someone took the words to my song / next time i'll write a song, there ain't going to be any words, let the music go on

it's this element that makes this track special and i've been vibing to it a lot on these nice summer days.

2013 edit: turns out someone actually did sample this and true to my words, it wasn't something that was chopped around. the track in mention is action bronson's "barry horrowitz" and it's decent but i'm not that big of a fan of action bronson.
