I thought this was sort of interesting so figured I'd make a half butt post about it.

Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love) by the Delfonics was a song that came out in 1968.

This song has been massively influential through music history, being sampled and covered by various artists since then

Most people probably remember The Fugees version of this song. It came out in 1996 and was massively popular (as was their album).

This song also samples Boadicea by Enya. She considered suing them for this, but decided not to after contacting them.

Anyways, back to Ready or Not.

The Jackson 5 did a cover of this song

As well as Johnny Osbourne - a famous jamaican reggae and dancehall singer

As for who has sampled this song. The list is extensive

https://www.whosampled.com/The-Delfonics/Ready-or-Not-Here-I-Come-(Can%27t-Hide-From-Love)/sampled/

Notable ones (excluding the aforementioned fugees)

Missy Elliot

50 Cent

T.I. (TWICE)

once with Nelly

and solo

MadLib

Mary J Blige

Ice-T (this is dope tbh)

And my personal favorite Three Six Mafia (actually mary j blige was probably just sampling this)

Anyways, I just thought it was interesting that that one song from 1968 was used so much in all this different shit.

The whosampled list is fricking crazy. So I posted about it.

This all started because I was listening to three six mafia. I think they're one of the dopest/most underrated groups of all time.

And they're really fascinating because of their heavy involvement with ICP and just the fact that they've been putting out music on and off for 20 years.

DJ Paul and Koopsta Knicca at one point formed a 'supergroup' with ICP called The Killjoy Club and released an album called Reindeer games.

And 36 makes frequent appearances at the gathering of the juggalos and shit like that. It's crazy.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Are you a boomer? Do you recognize this song?

Remember that era around the late 1950s to early 1960s? Almost as good as our late 1990s boomer times.

I forgot how much I like this song. Wanted to share

It has built in sample testing with projects you work on its crazy

Lyrics:

Everything, everything's tempting

I've got my DNR

Drag my dress across the street

And settle down for a minute

There goes a ghost against the ropes

Memory bliss or so I'm told

I love you, legend, let it go

I love you, legend, hope you know

This is gonna hurt, but it's worth it

True seekers might be darned

I'll remain forever loyal

I'll find my way out of the grave

Strip away, strip away

Strip away armor, strip away fear

I think I lost it, but here it comes again

But here it comes again

Everything, everything's tempting

You've got your DNR

Saw blades of grass spray-painted black

Just settle down for a minute

And I know you think I won't amount to shit

Lock in narrow your eyes

And I know you think I won't amount to shit

Just walk on by

I love you, legend, let it go

I love you, legend, hope you know

This is gonna hurt, but it's worth it

True seekers might be darned

I'll remain forever loyal

I'll find my way out of the grave

Strip away, strip away

Strip away armor, strip away fear

I think I lost it, but here it comes again

But here it comes again, but here it comes again

Moving your feet, but they're wrapped in concrete

(Go, go, go, go) Moving your feet, but they're wrapped in concrete

(Go, go, go, go) Moving your feet, but they're wrapped in concrete

(Go, go, go, go) Moving your feet, but they're wrapped in

I love you, legend, let it go

I love you, legend, hope you know

This is gonna hurt, but it's worth it

True seekers might be darned

I'll remain forever loyal

I'll find my way out of the grave

Strip away, strip away

Strip away armor, strip away fear

I think I lost it, but here it comes again

But here it comes again, but here it comes again

Lyrics:

The nightmare lies in the mourning

When the birds are bleeding

And you hope the day will come

But you're never gonna live this down

Wish it away with the blame

You could just stop breathing now

You didn't want it enough

You didn't want it enough

And you tap and you cut

And you start with the heavy breathing

You're parallel to the dark

But they're still not leaving

But you try and talk

You'll do anything but you're never gonna keep it down

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now

You know it didn't have to be this way

You know it didn't have to be

But it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Now you talk to yourself

And you wonder why nothing ever changes

How you're gonna fall so far so fast

Who you gonna blame this on

I don't care anymore in the morning

When the birds start bleeding now

And it's all the same

It's all the same

I was faced to the wall

With the mirror

The mirror crashing down

And you stood so tall

But you fall and you're never gonna get back up

You didn't want it enough

Am I central now, am I central now I was central how

You know it didn't have to be this way

You know it didn't have to be

But it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

No one loves you

Up above you

No one hears you

No one sees you

No one loves you

Up above you

No one hears you

No one sees you

Can you hear me

Can you see me

Well it's the end of the line

So goodbye

Lyrics:

Old friends

Same disease

I'm killing myself again

Old friends

Same to me

I can't get away from it

Old friends are just a memory

That I didn't need

I can't be saved

Reaching for the life we threw away

Watching as it circles in the drain

With everything I loved, that's gone to waste

With everything I was but couldn't change

Old friends

Same disease

I can't get away from it

Old friends

Same as enemies

I'm killing myself again

I'm killing myself again

I'm killing myself

I can't be saved

Reaching for the life we threw away

Watching as it circles in the drain

With everything I loved, that's gone to waste

With everything I was but couldn't change

We're bored when we're sober again

But miserable when we're not

We're bored when we're sober again

But what else have we got

I can't be saved

Reaching for the life we threw away

Watching as it circles in the drain

With everything I loved, that's gone to waste

With everything I was but couldn't change

I can't be saved

Reaching for the life we threw away

Watching as it circles in the drain

With everything I loved, that's gone to waste

With everything I was but couldn't change

We're bored when we're sober again

But miserable when we're not
