Day-O by Harry Belafonte (~0:37 and ~1:01)

I’m not a Lil Wayne fan but this isn’t a “hey, listen to this song I like” blog. The big news in hip hop this week is that Tha Carter 4 sold extremely well. Some say the success isn’t deserved. I dunno. I haven’t listened to the whole album and I probably won’t because his voice irritates me. He’s obviously relevant to a gigantic audience, so he must be doing something well (even if it isn’t his music). Here’s his song 6 Foot 7 Foot off Tha Carter 4 featuring samples from Day-O.
