The following post is just a collection of tracks that have used MJ samples, just to show how much of an influence he had on nearly every genre of music.
'Jay-Z - Izzo (H.O.V.A.)' Sample Credit 'Jackson 5 - I Want You Back'
'Nas - It Ain't Hard To Tell' Sample Credit 'Michael Jackson - Human Nature'
'Ghostface Killah (Feat. Sun God) - Street Opera' Sample Credit 'Michael Jackson - Ain't No Sunshine'
Whether you liked his music or not, one thing everyone has to appreciate is the legacy he left behind, hopefully people will remember him for this rather than the controversey surrounding his private life.
RIP The King Of Pop

just finished watching two back to back episodes of the new East-End London Gangster drama, hosted on sky one called The Take.
it takes a look inside the lives of two best friends Freddy and Jimmy (typical bold print cockney hard men names lol), who are both poles apart in idea's, moral's and lifestyles, like yin and yang, but the better one can never seem to shake off the poision, thus causing a lot of havoc around the east end.
some gritty scenes, cold but realistic actors and unconventional good old british screenplay along with all the little details which have been carefully crafted to take a step back in time to the 80's, with shell suits, ford capris and even a bit of UB40.
Last weekend saw the usual massive Eclectricity bank holiday extravaganza at the Custard Factory, with a slight twist.... along side me was my sister, to experience her first club night out, and her first AAA Pass event with the camera at the helm, to snap major crowd and artist shots to be used for future promotion alongside Eclectricity, and heres are some of the great shots from the night featuring Chase and Status, Annie Mac, Rye Rye, Mary Anne Hobbs, Friendly Fires and The Scratch Perverts...
