      I suppose would be pointless to sample a sample given it would be the same result - unless it was a loophole to use without paying the original artist, or paying less

    When Tricky was young, there was a street in his neighbourhood notorious for crime. Because of this, Tricky and his friends called this street ‘Hell’. They would often dare each other to run down the street, and so when writing this song Tricky was influenced by the time that hell was quite literally round the corner.

    The bass-line is taken from Belgian band Wallace Collection's 'Daydream' 1969, who already used the strings from Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'.
    Also sampled by Isaac (Ike) Hayes, Claude François, Portishead, Beta Band, I Monster, Lupe Fiasco and Hooverphonic (in 'Mad about you') who would later cover 'Glory Box' to close the circle. De nada.

    This song is so incredibly timeless. I played it in between sets once when i was bartending at a music venue. There were quite literally hundreds of people asking me who the artist was. When i told a few who were sitting at the bar had looked into Tricky and by the end of the night we were all discussing music and how amazed they were because the lot of them apparently assumed it was a newer song in which they were being acquainted. Some people like to gatekeep good music and ive never understood that mentality. Spreading the word when someone is interested in something unfamiliar to them is fantastic not just for the listener but the artist as well. Arists being discovered by younger generations is how their music lives on after theyre no longer with us. Id never stand in the way of that process❤

    ChatGPT: You’re spot on! The main sound line in "Hell Is Round the Corner" might sound familiar because it shares the same sample as Portishead’s "Glory Box." Both tracks sample **Isaac Hayes’ "Ike’s Rap II"** from 1971. It's a classic, and a lot of artists have tapped into it because it’s just so smooth and evocative.
    Tricky’s vibe and lyrics are something else, though-dark, gritty, and deeply introspective. He really made that sample his own, layering it with his unique style and atmosphere. It's one of those tracks where the blend of familiar and fresh really works to create something special. Glad you’re digging it! 😎

      Primus got me hooked on Tom Waits, Adult Swim led me to Aesop Rock. Check out the "Tom Shall Pass" album for the union of two of the most eclectic minds in music. Or the "PortisRock" EP for that old-timey trip-hop goodness.

    Hell is 'round the corner where I shelter
    Isms and schisms
    We're living helter skelter
    If you believe or deceive
    Common sense says you shouldn't receive
    Let me take you down the corridors of my life
    And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
    No need to answer 'til
    I take further evidence
    I seem to need a reference to get residence
    A reference to your preference to say
    I'm a good neighbour, I trudge
    So judge me for my labour
    Lobotomy ensures my good behavior
    "Hell Is Round The Corner"
    I stand firm for our soil
    Lick a rock on foil
    So they juice me, seduce me
    Dress me up in Stussy

    Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight
    The kill which I share with my passengers
    We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill

    As I grow
    And as I grow, I grow collective
    Before the move sit on the perspective
    Mr. cradle in the crevice
    And watches from the precipice
    Imperial passage
    Heat from the sun somedays slowly passes
    Until then, you have to live with yourself
