's Sampleslaya. Personnel: Armand Van Helden, Sizzahandz, Funkmaster Flex (DJ); Big Kap, Madsol Desar (vocals). Rugged All-Stars: Gary Storm, Nasty Nova (vocals). Producers: Armand Van Helden, Sizzahandz, Madsol Desar, Funkmaster Flex. Recorded at Ya Mutha's House, New York, New York. As an ace DJ and in-demand remixer, Armand Van Helden has been credited in helping advance the cause of "garage house," a style best recognized by its fuzzed-out, rocking basslines and chopped-up vocal breaks (as examples, seek Van Helden's reworkings of Tori Amos' "Professional Widow" and Daft Punk's "Da Funk," among many others). But from the opening declaration that "this goes out to all the headz representin' the 'house' side of hip-hop" at the top of "Pushem' Up," its obvious that SAMPLESLAYA is a different bag altogether. Here, Van Helden's all about East Coast flava in your ear, and MEAT MARKET basically rocks like a damn good underground mix tape, which is all that it purports to be. Based on well-worn and easily recognizable samples long ingrained in all the headz who did their hip-hop homework (Q-Tip, JB's, Rakim, etc.), the music within is the meat 'n' potatoes for a Saturday night "house party" (as opposed to "house" party). Only "Ultrafunkula," a bouncy piece of elektro that harnesses many of Van Helden's remix tricks, even contemplates marrying the old school aesthetic to the DJ's singular breakthroughs.
