When the beat dropped all I felt like saying was ….. “Rappers steppin' to me, they wanna get some,But I'm the Kane, so, yo, you know the outcome,Another victory, they can't get with me, So pick a B.C. date 'cause you're history, I'm the authentic poet to get lyrical….. “ 😆💪🏽
Wrecks N Effects also sampled this on Rumpshaker. Also AMG - Jiggable Pie. My favorite hip hop song of all time is Big Daddy Kane - Ain't No Half Steppin.
It's a travesty that only 45K have visited this page in almost 5 years. People are missing out on one of the greatest tracks of the 70's. The Emotions are so much more than just Best Of My Love.
Sky Blylevin yeah but Marley was foul for not cutting a check to theses ladies for using this sample. Love Marley and the entire Juice Crew... he should’ve cut that check tho
Stab Calloway Actually compensation for a sample is due to the writer(s) of the song used. “Blind Alley” was written by David Porter, so he’s the only one entitled to payment for Marley Marl’s use of it for “Ain’t No Half Steppin’.”
I love The Emotions stax recordings. They were raw and soulful. They were more polished in their vocals when they collaborated with EWF and Maurice White. Their harmonies were always tight whether with Stax or Columbia. They're my favorite female group.
"Dreamlover, come and rescue me Take me up, take me down Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now I need you so desperately Won't you please come around 'Coz I wanna share forever with you, baby..."
Biggies song “blind alley freestyle” on his demo tape which was sample from this beautiful song brought me here and Big Daddy Kane too 💯! Salute to these Queens 👑🫡!
Here’s my favorite uses of the song 1. Big Daddy Kane 2. Notorious B.I.G. 3. Mariah Carey 4. LL Cool J 5. Das EFX 6. Tim Dogg 7. Wrecks N Effect 8. Ice Cube 9. EPMD 10. A Tribe Called Quest HM: Big L and 50 Cent
This is definitely one of my favorite sampled song and one of my favorite songs period. How this wasn't a huge hit I'll never know because this is a number one record if I've ever heard one. But hip hop knew what time it was. Every song by the artists on your list is dope.
WOW look at that picture. That was the Emotions when this song and album REVOLT was issued. Teresa Davis was with the group replacing sister Jeanette. She fit right in with the soulful, gospel sound of the group and not to metion she was DAMN PRETTY!!!!!!
"Blind Alley" has been sampled by several artists such as 112, A Tribe Called Quest, Bell Biv Devoe, Big Daddy Kane, Tupac Shakur, LL Cool J, Redhead Kingpin & the F.B.I., Wu Tang Clan, 50 Cent, Brand Nubian, Craig Mack, EPMD, Gangstarr, Ice Cube, Salt-N-Pepa, De La Soul, Kanye West, Jadakiss, Notorious BIG, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Mary J. Blige, Ginuwine, Keyshia Cole, Tamia and Janet Jackson and Redman.
Yo, I NEVER knew that BDK (Marley Marl-If I'm not mistaken) used a sample for Ain t No Half Steppin' 🤯 Using that sample was genius. This song is SO FIRE!!!
Rap Prime Minister. Some say sinister! Non-stopping the groove until when-its-tha climax, as I max, relax and chill. Have a break from a tape of me, actin' ill.
Mariah, David Cole and Robert Clivilles were sued for borrowing from The Best of My Love for the song Emotions, which was later setlle out of court. I suppose there are similarities there between the two songs, but it's a bit of a stretch. On Dreamlover, David Porter was properly credited by her and Dave Jam Hall for sampling Blind Alley. There's no mistaken the song was built around Blind Alley as you can sing the chorus over the top of Blind Alley's hook and drum beat.

Classic!
Crazy how this One Track is Responsible for so Many Other Songs‼️
It is!
Thank Marley Marl
Yep!!
Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half Steppin" brought me here...
So many hip hop songs come from this, but the original is sooooo banging. So sad this type of originality will not be coming back anytime soon
Facts. I'm with you. It's great because it's based on soul.
I'm surprised this wasn't a single
Pete Rock and C.L Smooth. And I Know Big Daddy Kane did too.
@@yellowlight2563 It was a single 👍

It's a travesty that only 45K have visited this page in almost 5 years. People are missing out on one of the greatest tracks of the 70's. The Emotions are so much more than just Best Of My Love.
Jon B Smooth
Totally agree with you !
They probably know it from a record player like the original
Word 🎧👍🏼
@@justinwinn01 So MANY artists have sampled this song, some people might know it from other music (e.g. Mariah Carey's "Dream Lover").
Big up to Marley Marl, who revolutionized hip hop production sampling hot butta like this.
Sky Blylevin yeah but Marley was foul for not cutting a check to theses ladies for using this sample. Love Marley and the entire Juice Crew... he should’ve cut that check tho
Stab Calloway Actually compensation for a sample is due to the writer(s) of the song used. “Blind Alley” was written by David Porter, so he’s the only one entitled to payment for Marley Marl’s use of it for “Ain’t No Half Steppin’.”
Marley mar had nothing to do with Ain’t no Half stepping….Cool v made the beat💯💯💯
@@I_be_e Yeah but none of those guys cut a check back then.
actually marly got the credit but the record was found by Biz Mark then GAVE IT to BDK
I love The Emotions stax recordings. They were raw and soulful. They were more polished in their vocals when they collaborated with EWF and Maurice White. Their harmonies were always tight whether with Stax or Columbia. They're my favorite female group.
Mariah "Dreamlover" one of the best up-tempo R & B tracks ever...guess we should thank The Emotions for the assist
Matt Recchione huh!!!!fr???
she always gave credit for this work, mariah was a super fan of 70s music.
Imani Alexander she always did tho
Rumpshaker
Yes. Mariah did a great job using the beat.
KANE made this iconic for the new generation!!!!!
"Dreamlover, come and rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around
'Coz I wanna share forever with you, baby..."
Yup...Mariah sampled this

I’m hear reading “It was All a Dream” and this song was named. With book still in my lap, had to locate and listen. I’m hear smiling. 😘🤗🔥🔥💯💯
The musicians of this AWESOME song were the STAX records sessions players, who laid grooves down for Sam and Dave, Isaac Hayes and otis redding.
I'm loving the outfits. I miss the 60's and the 70's. We had so much fun. Less crime more 💘.
Big Daddy Kane!!
Das EFX - "Klap Ya Handz" sampled this, too.
Whenever people look in the encyclopedia under the word "funk", there should always be a picture of the Stax Records logo!
"Friday the 13th, Imma play Jason"
"Ain't No Half-Steppin"
Das EFX - "Klap Ya Handz" sampled this, too.
Total and utter class! Speaks volumes that it was sampled.
This became a Billboard #1 song for Mariah Carey!
WOW look at that picture. That was the Emotions when this song and album REVOLT was issued. Teresa Davis was with the group replacing sister Jeanette. She fit right in with the soulful, gospel sound of the group and not to metion she was DAMN PRETTY!!!!!!
This song is incredible!!
Thanks for posting this awesome R&B tune, classic!

Mariah Carey always either creates great melodies or samples amazing songs most people from her generation don’t even know
She listened to ALOT of different music
she is a damn genius
Mariah, David Cole and Robert Clivilles were sued for borrowing from The Best of My Love for the song Emotions, which was later setlle out of court. I suppose there are similarities there between the two songs, but it's a bit of a stretch.
On Dreamlover, David Porter was properly credited by her and Dave Jam Hall for sampling Blind Alley. There's no mistaken the song was built around Blind Alley as you can sing the chorus over the top of Blind Alley's hook and drum beat.
Big Daddy Kane & LL Cool J (among others) sampled this WAY before Mariah
