Stream of Consciousness #2 - Nile Rodgers, Carly Simon, A Tribe Called Quest, Vaughan Mason & Crew

(Nile is the first from the left: S t y l e)

I wanted to start talking about this hidden bomb by Nile Rodgers, taken form his solo album Adventures In The Land Of The Good Groove (Mirage, US 1983)

NILE RODGERS - YUM YUM
(Mirage, US 1983)


Nile is the Man behind the "Chic" and producer of Sisters Sledge (We are family, He's the Greatest Dancer), Diana Ross (Upside Down), Madonna (Like a Vergin Album), Duran Duran (The Reflex), David Bowie (Let's Dance) just to name a few.


- Here he's probably on cocaine with Carly Simon: among his productions I think that this collaboration is another underrated gem:


- Why has Been sampled for my favorite hip hop band of the 90's on the Bonita Applebum single:


- A Tribe Called Quest chose so many good samples among the years, but disco wise I love a remix of their Public Enemy track with a sample of the classic Vaughan Mason & Crew - Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll.

This is the Tribe:

This is Vaughan:



- And speaking about Vaughan here is another great track:
