NWA Express yourself Bassline

[JayPH]

Guys my son is playing this song lately and Im sure the bassline is a sample from another track but I cant put my finger on it. My son reckons this is the one and only version of this song. Can anyone sellt the argument?

PS - Sounds like a Pbass to me
PPS what the hell is sess? How much is it a quater?

It is a sample.

The original track escapes me at the moment.

It's from Charles wright & the Watts 103rd street rhythm band's tune also called express yourself .

trivia:
Charles Wright was Easy E's father. I'm guessing they didn't have too much trouble acquiring the rights!

Actually, Ice Cube claimed he wrote it and Charles Wright had to go and have words...

That article also says that Snoop Dogg is Dr Dre's half brother, I think someone was having that writer on.

It's a fecking great track though. Hip hop has some awesome bass lines. I know they're mostly sampled but hey, atleast they had taste.
