Todd Edwards - Can't You Believe? MAIN Instrumental Samples Found!! (Patrice Rushen)

I "can't believe" that this one went undiscovered for so long!!! I found this one by complete chance earlier, while randomly diving into an old theory that this song was sampled in Notorious B.I.G.'s "Unbelievable". Been wondering about the origin of these keyboard samples ever since I first heard them. This is definitely one of the greatest Todd Edwards finds I've made in a while, so I couldn't resist sharing it with you guys!
Songs used in the video (I do not own these!!!):
- Patrice Rushen - Remind Me (Straight From The Heart, 1982)
- Todd Edwards - Can't You Believe? (New Trend's Sound, 1995)

Needle in a haystack moment

really nice find! despite being a really classic and "overused" sample, Todd's way of chop definitvely make it hard to be recognizable

[@dannyshazam]

Totally!

Holy shit

Wow, I've listened to both records a million times and never saw the connection. How did you notice it? Pure Eureka moment, or were you playing with the sound files for something else?

Tbh, same 😅 As I did mention a little bit in the description, I was diving into an old theory that her song "Remind Me" was sampled in Notorious B.I.G.'s "Unbelievable". I recorded the first 40 seconds or so of the song (where I thought there were some small similarities throughout the beginning), and that's when I picked up on the keyboard notes she played at 0:25. Said to myself "no way," messed around with it in my DAW, and my jaw instantly dropped.
