This song made me realize and fully understand the power of sampling. A lot of people look down on sampling like it's 'stealing'. Nah, it's using building blocks to create something unique. It's always been. And this track is a perfect example. Giving the opportunity to people to make music that they would've never made otherwise.

Man this song takes me back... I was walking home after work and this song came up on the radio on my mp3 player. It was 1am, the air was still and cool, no cars in sight and only the street lights illuminated my path home. I just decided to sit down on a bench and take everything in.
The only way I can describe that moment was just total bliss

This is one of those songs that fit greatly with nighttime driving. I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of wet city roads, shiny and illuminated by streetlights and neon bar signs.
Got here from a 90s triphop playlist. A lot of these seem to have female vocals or female vocal samples, possibly a staple of the genre.

I didn't discover this until 2002 and it was the beginning of a LONG wild life journey. This song has followed me the entire way and is one of the soundtracks to my life. I used to walk the streets of NYC, lonely listening to this in search of my purpose. I'm 45 and the happiest and fulfilled I've ever been. Bless up Yuh self!

i took the trip of a life time when i was a teenager and went to japan for a week. one night in osaka at 1 am, while all my friend were drinking and messing around, i took a walk while listening to this album. i just remember trying my hardest to soak in all the neon lights and the cityâs tranquility in as much as i could. so many memories associated with this album that i couldnât even break down all of them. thank you shadow, you genuinely changed my life.
