OK, I did a bit of digging and found out they used two samples and they did some digging to find them since they released the studio recording of Glory Box in 1995. Ike's Rap II by Isaac Hayes (1971) Hey Jude by Clarence Wheeler and The Enforcers (1970)
Ike’s Rap II by Isaac Hayes was sampled by multiple trip hop artists of the time. It’s also a sample in “2 Wicky” by Hooverphonic and “Hell Is Around The Corner” by Tricky.
It should be no surprise. Trip Hop, often used the same core music approach and source material as Hip Hop, but with a more chill/dark/trippy approach to songs. Artists such as Portishead and Massive Attack exploited the same pool of classic R&B, jazz funk and soundtrack music that early (and off the day) hip hop turntablists drew upon for their samples and loops. Portishead DJ Andy, used to perform sets at the time, very much like some of the classic early 80's hip hop DJs, some 10 years earlier. God I feel old! :)
Portishead and Massive Attack are the undisputed kings and queens of Trip Hop, Portishead's debut album "Dummy" and Massive Attacks "Mezzanine" album are the pinnacle of the genre and despite not knowing huge commercial success, in and around the music industry they are LEGENDS! In fact, you'll find both albums on many a top 100 albums of all time lists, to dig a bit deeper highly recommend checking out their tracks "Humming" and "Western Eyes" as well as "Roads" live from Roseland NYC, the same concert as this performance. As for Massive Attack jump into tracks "Dissolved Girl", "Black Milk" and "Group Four" three of their best tracks that virtually no one has reacted to. A few other groups you might like Morcheeba, their album Big Calm is like a trip hop tropical vacation with tracks "The Sea", "Blindfold", "Fear & Love" and "The Music That We Hear" leading the way, Goldfrapp's track "Utopia" is amazing with lead singer Alison Goldfrapp providing both lead vocals and back up vocals via prerecording her voice is amazing. Hooverphonic is another trip hop staple worth checking out, start off with track "Mad About You".
Both Massive Attack and Portishead were hugely successful, particularly in the UK but in quite a few other countries too. They even had minor success in the US but the US sales charts are not the only definition of success. As for the albums that describe the peak of trip-hop, I agree with Dummy but I'm not so sure about Mezzanine. Not because it isn't a great album, it is undoubtedly, but because I'm not sure that it's their best album. Either of their first 2 albums could lay claim to that titleand either could be said to be as, or more, genre defining. As to which album IS their best? It's impossible to say for certain. Taste is subjective after all. I think we can agree that all 3 are classics! :)
@@Codex7777 You and I have different definitions of huge, while I would use that word to describe their impact, success wise, I would describe them as having good to great success, but just like the genre, it ended way too soon. Groups and artists from the era I would describe as being a huge success, Nirvana, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, REM, I could go on, but you get the idea, in comparison Portishead, Tricky and Massive Attack are not nearly as well known, in the US or Internationally. Which is a shame, since outside of Radiohead, I would argue they've had a far greater and lasting impact on music, than the other groups. You can definitely hear their influence, with Gorillaz, Sia, Billie Eilish, not to mention hip hop in general.
Trip hop at its infancy. 1994. Portishead is a town in Bristol UK where the band are from. When this album came out all road signs saying Portishead disappeared from the 🇬🇧 highways....stolen by fans 😀
Portishead, Tricky & Massive Attack redraw the world map of music in a matter of months when their albums all dropped out of Bristol. The triphop scene was born. Music changed and nobody has managed to match those 3 artists as a force of nature
Don't know what I did but it did it. I guess. I don't know who might have sampled the song. Miss Cool is Beth Gibbons. A unique voice for sure, fragile sounding. Kinda thick from smoking but her diction is close to perfect.
You should check out Tricky - Hell Is Around The Corner He's a former member of Massive Attack and a friend of Portishead and was in the same studio and used the same sample He's one of the pioneers of Trip Hop
@@InAVeeCoop You have a good voice and a genuine appreciation of a wide range of music. And... on a radio show you could comment without having to pause the music too!
This was written in 1992, first preformed in 93. Erica Baidu didn't release anything associated with her current sound until long after 97. Yes the similarities are so identical it's easy to argue that Erica Baidu took her sound from Beth Gibbons. But ima let you do you. The rest of us have Google.
I'm a smoker, (don't give a F**k about wokey responses because I'm 🏴 and thick skinned.) But I never had a voice like that that Bristol babe! 🏴
Always like how Americans can't pronounce Portishead correctly. Next you could try Stroud? Frome? Nempnett Thrubwell, (love that village), Worcestershire? Lol.
I think you'd like polica (the trip hop band). They're dope as haell. They have music videos... but my favorite doesn't. It's this one Watch "POLIÇA - "Smug" (Official Audio)" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/518b9qtUMi0/w-d-xo.html
Watch the entire Roseland show.. its epic 😎
Portishead is a vibe of their own.
No substitute.
As for sampling of Portishead, RZA loved using them in beats.
OK, I did a bit of digging and found out they used two samples and they did some digging to find them since they released the studio recording of Glory Box in 1995.

I listen to every single artist regularly that you've listed there. Great list. I like Martina Topley-Bird as well.
My favorite from this incredible show is Strangers.

Another band from that era I like is Lamb. Maybe not quite as creative, they feel like a more soothing version of that style.
Sample is "Ike's Rap II" by Isaac Hayes
Beth Gibbons. Very cool indeed. Hated performing.
Trip hop at its infancy. 1994.
Portishead is a town in Bristol UK where the band are from. When this album came out all road signs saying Portishead disappeared from the 🇬🇧 highways....stolen by fans 😀
Vibing 💯
Super vibe
The beauty is her voice. Let the instrumentation ramp up and down. Long as that voice stays steady...
They’ve used it so much in cinema at this point…but let’s be real this is the song to set an intro pace on that bedroom soundtrack lol
Ooooh those vocals absolutely amazing ...Thanku lovely ...incredible much love and God bless always x
Portishead, Tricky & Massive Attack redraw the world map of music in a matter of months when their albums all dropped out of Bristol. The triphop scene was born. Music changed and nobody has managed to match those 3 artists as a force of nature
Tricky was a member of Massive Attack. Up until Mezzanine.
Don't know what I did but it did it. I guess. I don't know who might have sampled the song. Miss Cool is Beth Gibbons. A unique voice for sure, fragile sounding. Kinda thick from smoking but her diction is close to perfect.
She really belts it out in the song Strangers from this show.
You should check out Tricky - Hell Is Around The Corner
He's a former member of Massive Attack and a friend of Portishead and was in the same studio and used the same sample
He's one of the pioneers of Trip Hop
I am glad you said it. I was just checking the comments to see if someone let her know. Great video
@@nickiemartin1426 she watched the Tricky video and couldn't even make it halfway through smh
Tricky is the realest
They've been sampled in R&B songs a couple of times.
I'll look for the specific song I'm thinking of.
Isaac Hayes originally made it (Ikes Rap 2) but you may have heard it from Alessia Cara - Here a few years back
Ummmm thank you!
Btw, Portishead is a band, not a solo artist. :)
Love your channel, my friend
It's Portis .... head. Named after a town in Bristol England. And they made their own samples.
Absolutely love them. Check out "Roads" by them if you haven't already! They are a total vibe! That whole first album "Dummy" is FANTASTIC!
Another great track by Portishead is Cowboys.
They made their own samples.
You should be a radio dj. :)
That means so much to me 😇💙🦋
@@InAVeeCoop You have a good voice and a genuine appreciation of a wide range of music.

This song was in the movie" The Craft".
This was written in 1992, first preformed in 93.

Fun fact - she's a nurse
If you rewind a little, after pausing, you won't miss anything. :)
Unfortunately you missed some great moments and great transitions by not doing so.
Busta Rhymes, gimme some mo
Nice reaction. Mez & AJ Tracy - Mic check (live at Maida Vale) worth a look...
Check out Hell Is Round the Corner by Tricky - it also uses the same string sample
I'm a smoker, (don't give a F**k about wokey responses because I'm 🏴 and thick skinned.) But I never had a voice like that that Bristol babe! 🏴
5 seconds in and already interrupting listen first comment AFTER silly woman !
Dummy = desert island album.
Always like how Americans can't pronounce Portishead correctly. Next you could try Stroud? Frome? Nempnett Thrubwell, (love that village), Worcestershire? Lol.
No way you've read all those books! (most likely i am just a dumb mf that read 25 books and call-it a "lifetime") XDD
