Alright yall. I give up and I need your help. My brain is broken the last few years, and I have lost so much. My younger son asked me a while ago if I've heard this song, Tarantula by Pendulum. I told him, this is a song that sounds, in parts, almost just like this other song I knew 20 or so years ago, but more laid back of course lol. And that is as far I could get. I have racked my brain until it hurts. I have searched the internet, but without a single word to the song to go on, I am totally lost. I have a headache now trying to think of it, and yet I can't come up with anything. I know the song so well, it was one of my favorites back in the day. But I think my brain is broken beyond repair, and I can not think of it on my own. Can someone please help me here? What song does this song sound like, the chorus part, slowed down a bit, lol?? It is very easy, and just one step away from my brain capacity. I know the song and the tune, just can't think of a single word to help me out to get to the name, to tell my son what this Tarantula song sounds like. It was a kind of reggae, kind of hiphop song. Any help will be much appreciated.

Nevermind! I just thought of it, couldn't sleep, kept thinking, and it finally came to me! Informer! Yay! The chorus of Tarantula sounds so much like Informer. Now I can listen to it and go to sleep. lol. It jams.

A Tribe Called Quest influence?

absolutely. Joey takes a lot of influences... The music is definitely ATCQ influenced.

Kid is dumb as a rock but liked this song

ASAP Is okay.... I like his latest efforts, especially "Better Things"... That's a hot track..

I just want to dedicate this song to yall for posting these awesome videos and songs. The HipHop thread is home to me, and it is my favorite safe place on this entire zone. I can be myself here, without judgement, and I truly thank all of my friends for that. I am truly happy with this great music selection yall have given, and this song is for yall! Much Love!

Such a heavy Mary J influenced (who was influenced by many others!)

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Springs definitely kept it rolling no denying that. Much more of an eclectic soul than I is. Dude knows his stuff though and learned a lot from him, etc.

Yes, he is an awesome dude. And I agree with you. He is very knowledgeable and a very kind person, too. I count Ron among my friends. And you, too, Big. Yall are my Cowboys and my Zone Brothers.

Come on, you all making me wanna get all emotional and stuff...lol
"Group Hug"

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

You just decided... "I'm gonna go in" what is this, like 20 drops!.... props...

Snow!!! Hahaha... Man, that was a bad business deal for MC Shan.... (was on the remix, and was involved in initial production.... bad business deal because the basically left him in the cold)
FYI, MC Shan is now a DJ in the ATL.....

I hear this kind of dub/techno mash up more and more, I can't say i'm a big fan... but I do find it intriguing... the sounds they used to make up the tracks. And Yes the Harmony on the hook is very "Snow-ish".....

Man, Ron, don't know where I've been the last few days, I know I've been on the Zone, but don't know how I missed more songs on our thread. This song is awesome, man! The original Gorrilaz, eh?? lol. And man, I love your new avatar and sig pic. Debby Harry has been one of my beloved women since the 70s.

I heart Debby...even as an older woman...Susan Sarandon, & Beverly Johnson should beware as well...
