Formed in '97 in L.A. with MILES TACKETT at the center, BREAKESTRA ignited the current funk band boom. This is a popular early 45" from STONES THROW in '01! A 45" cut from their acclaimed 2000 album "THE LIVE MIX PART 2," which pioneered live recreations of hip-hop samples. A great cover of ALL THE PEOPLE's "CRAMP YOUR STYLE," a classic breakbeat familiar to hip-hop fans, sampled by BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS in "I'M STILL #1"! The arrangement using the horn section from THE 45 KING's "THE 900 NUMBER" in the intro is also nice! Also included is a popular 45" featuring an uptempo cover of the legendary funk 45" classic "BABY DON'T CRY" by THE THIRD GUITAR FEATURING EDDIE HOLLOWAY, selected by KENNY DOPE on KEB DARGE's "FUNK SPECTRUM VOL.2," and featured on DJ MURO's "SUPER FUNK BREAKS-LESSON1," DJ KIYO's "PRIMITIVISM," and DJ SHIMONE's side of the legendary mix tape "YA DIG" by DJ MURO, DJ DENKA, DJ SHIMONE, and DJ TUS-ONE. It was also used in the latter half of MAIN SOURCE's "LOOKING AT THE FRONT DOOR" and is familiar from DJ SHADOW's "THE NUMBER SONG" (original and CUT CHEMIST REMIX). This is one of the rarest BREAKESTRA 45"s!
