I’m a sample nerd and I’ve known this song for ages. I’ve played this for many people over the years and when that breakdown hits it blows their minds.
Also sampled for Wu Tang “Can It All Be So Simple”, Jay-Z “Streets Is Watching”, and EPMD “Countdown”, just to name a few. So many different dope parts in this song to flip.
I think the singer of this song is/was gay and Eminem had a line where he said something about I think his English teacher was a guy 😂 but Em and Dre had to change that line so they can use the track 😂 I guess the singer didn’t like that gay line 😂
I once looked up info on Labi Safri; he’s a gay musician from England and he’s also a playwright. This song is incredible. “Watch Me” is another great Labi Safri tune worth checking out. 👍
Yea that’s why he had to change certain lyrics when tryna get the sample cleared on My Name Is like when he said “my English teacher wanted to have sex in junior high, the only problem was my English teacher was a guy”
I looked it up too. His full name is Claudius Afolabi Siffre. He's from England and has a Nigerian father. People from the motherland got soul and talent. He was gay and was able to do this back in the 70's with nobody bothering him.
Would love to see you react to Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust (their most well known song and the music video got voted as the best Finnish music video ever back in 2006 when the song was released). Truly an underrated band from here in Finland. Also a band with many different sounds all the way from slow melodic songs to full on rock. Although if you want to immediately hear a song that showcases how crazy good the lead singer Marko Saaresto's voice can be (and while his vocal range might not be the most dynamic out there he is an amazing example of what you can achieve by having absolutely perfect control of your vocals especially the raw emotion that his voice is able to convey) then i recommend listening to their song Daze. His vocals on the chorus are something out of this world. I just think that so many more people would love their music if they just ever heard them but since their from Finland it rarely happens. Although many have heard their songs in Remedy's video games Max Payne 2, Alan Wake, Quantum Brake and Control (Also every single reactor i have seen reacting to them has been pretty much blown away by their music so i'm very confident you'll like it) also... also... lot's of deep and meaningful lyrics and wordplay in their songs sorry for the long rant i just really want more people to know about them :D
Do the jbs-the grunt. Half of the songs of public enemys first album was made from it. Nobody has done it. I discovered the song when my favorite comedian( Patrice O'Neal ) spoke about it. I think the show was called the unsung samples of hiphop. And in my mind the ending of this song( the violins ) fits into a 3d sonic game
We will rock you by Queen. Till I Collapse used the sample of We will rock you. We all know and love both of them, we shall listen to the Queen’s version ❤️
Yo Rich can u react to more uk drill music. I think you should react to all of Yanko’s songs there disrespectful af. Im sure we will all help you with the slang so you can truly understand the bars🔥

First time Dre and Em got in the studio Dre played this beat and em said Hi my name is and then a legend was born.
The documentary of that moment is amazing.
@@FirearmOutfitterswhat's the documentary called?
4:51 we can immediately hear My Name is from the Slim Shady LP 😅
This song alone has so much class to it

Also Miguel, kaleidoscope dreams
this is better than all the songs that sampled it
The 70's had some of the best music.
4:51 My name is

Can you blame him?

How is Labi Siffre not a star? It's criminal.
He's an icon
Listen to “something inside so strong “also by Labi Siffre .... amazing song by an amazing artist
I fricken love this song ❤️❤️❤️
Check out The Incredible Bongo Band - Apache. Its the single most sampled song in hip hop history
Nearly half a century old and still a motherfunker of song.
"My Name Is".. Classic tune
Eminem - My Name Is
JOhn Cena theme was sampled by the "Devil went down the Georgia"
My name is
My name is
Without the soul music of the 70's there won't be nothing.
Thank Better Call Saul for reacquainting us with this song 😀
The rhythm section on this track were Chas and Dave, a popular UK musical duo....
Everytime I look at that album cover it makes me want to light up a cigarette and look cool and I haven't done either for about 30 years..
the track that DR.Dre sampled for Slim Shady is My Name Is By Eminem
This song 🔥 though
Dre sampled... for an Eminem song.... not Eminem...
You know what... why not the best songs that was sampled from different artists....
My Name Is
My name is.. That's crazy. I didn't know.
My name is...
