Da Bassment Compilation: Sugah - Sugar and Spice

Here is a rare exclusive for everyone. We've all heard Bassment material by Playa, Missy (Sista), Ginuwine, Timbalad & Magoo but we've never heard anything from Sugah. So today we present to you "Sugar and Spice" which was produced by Timbaland and written by Missy Elliott. Some of the Aaliyah fans may recognize this title because Jomo Hankerson spoke about the song in an article back in the day: "In the process of recording One in a Million, we got a demo from Timbaland and Missy. The song was called “Sugar and Spice,” which felt a little too kiddie to us, but the structure of the record, the melody, had what became Tim’s signature triplebeat on it. We were overwhelmed, and we sent it to Aaliyah. She called us back like, The track is crazy, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. So we flew Timbaland and Missy into Detroit to work with her." So is this the same song? You betcha it is. So we've let you guys into Sugah's world and we've ...

Music: Timbaland & Magoo - Luv 2 Luv Ya (feat. Playa)

So we're going to feature the original and remix to the song Luv 2 Luv Ya. Even though one is a remix, they're essentially different songs with a different vibe, different lyrics and even a different female rapper. First we have the original featuring Smokey and Static on the bridge and St Nick (also known as Nikki from the Ginuwine song "Holler") You may or may not know that the hook of that song is actually from the Donna Summer song "Love To Love You Baby" And then we have the remix of the song which was released as a single. This one features Shauna and has Playa doing backgrounds on the hook. Which version do you prefer?

Da Bassment Compilation: Timbaland, Missy Elliott & Magoo - Plenty Of Styles

Here is one of many Bassment songs we will be sharing with you from the cassette. We're going to start it out with a rap joint by Missy, Timbaland and Magoo. I think it's amazing how polished all of them were already even though they didn't release any CDs yet.

Music: Southernaire All-Stars - Ghetto

We at the blog have let you hear a lot of exclusive music, and we're about to share another one with everyone. So you're probably asking, what is so special about this song? Well, this has been a song that many Timbaland fans have been wanting for a YEARS. It's been on ASCAP forever yet no one besides a selective few have actually heard the song. The wait is over though... Check out this crazy track by Native, Yaushameen, J-Bird and Static. Readers note: This has nothing to do with the cassette. Shout out to Native for letting us hear this. Also big shout out to my good friend Jamar for hooking me up with this!

Music: Timbaland & Magoo - We At It Again

Of course we are all familiar with this song as it was released as a single on the "Romeo Must Die" soundtrack. But check out this alternate version: I know a lot of Timbaland fans have known about this song for a long long time, but this may new to some Static fans. You can probably tell that the chorus along with the beat are different. Which version do you prefer? Big shout out to J Boogie and talkingcrazy for sharing this.

Music: Playa - Don't Stop The Music (Instrumental)

Static Major Is Music announcement: Despite never being officially announced, I'm sure it was already quite obvious that Dimu is part of the team. Even though he doesn't do any postings for the blog, he's helped us out with numerous interviews, and has also done a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Plus it was also his birthday yesterday, so here's a treat for him because I know he loves instrumentals a lot. Check out this sick Timstrumental, big ups to the folks at www.thomascrownchronicles.com for this hook up.

Music: Da Bassment - Ain't Nothin' But A B-Party

So on this track, we have Timbaland, Magoo, Static, Smokey and Black all on one track. For the people that don't know, this was going to be the first single off the Bassment compilation that Devante was going to put out. This material has never been on the internet...until now, all thanks to my man Neeze. A lot of you may recognize the hook because they reused the hook for the song "Smoke In Da Air" off Timbaland & Magoo's first album "Welcome To Our World". Exclusive song is provided by Neeze, courtesy of Swatt Music

Music: Brandy - Come As You Are

One of my favourite Brandy songs of all time and also one of my favourite Static songs of all time. I certainly felt this song would have at least advanced to the second round of the March Madness, but oh well. You may also recognize this beat because it was in a clip from Jay-Z's Fade to Black DVD. As you can already tell, the drums are slightly different from the Timbaland/Jay-Z clip. Here's something for you to listen though: This is Static's demo of the track for Brandy. The elements of the beat are the same, but it seems Timbaland revamped the beat by adding more sounds to the final version (Brandy). Edit: Shout to Dude over at the Brandy forum for hooking me up with another version of "Come As U Are". This version was on the Afrodisiac album sampler. Notice the crazy bass line on the song? The drums are different as well, from both the Static version and the final version of the song. I wonder why Timbaland changed it.

Music: Static Major - Drawls

Here is a joint that Static/Devante did back in 2005 in LA. Do you recognize the sample? Of course you do! It was the intro on Ginuwine's "100% Ginuwine" album. Now it has to be asked, did Devante do this on purpose or was it a coincidence? And a better question, who do you think flipped the sample better: Timbaland or Devante? And for the sample heads out there, the song samples the Mcguyver theme
