+baconandhex he didn't purchase the music or give Leah any credit whatsoever. He didn't clear the sample. I know this because Leah is a friend of mine and this shit angers me to no end.
Beautiful song. Perfectly song and the musical arrangment in the background couldn't be better. Whoever produced the song for wayne dug in tha crates 4 dis 1. kudos niggaz kudos
Many a song has been nothed up by maybe the best backup singer of them all, Leah Kunkel. Her solo efforts didn't go well but if ever there was proof of what a wonderful singer she is, this is it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Don Yowell was a friend of mine. I treasured his friendship. I remember a month of Sundays when he performed at SNAFU in Chelsea. I would rustle up a group of my friends from north Jersey to see him every week. He got a job in Jane Olivor's road band. He'd call me from the road, but his calls got fewer and farther apart. Then they stopped. A couple of years later I found out that he'd died. I was heartbroken. I'm glad to know that he and his songs are remembered.
How lovely. I have Don Yowell's recording of this song. I only heard Don after we lost him; his dear friend Michael Callen sent me a top of Don's unreleased recordings and a VHS of a live performance. Then we lost Michael. So many losses. Leah is so talented and so special. It runs in the family.
@The313boi in case you didn't know, REAL HIP-HOP is made from samples, not synthesizers, doesn't matter where the sample is from or how it sounds as the original track, if it works and sounds good?? that's all that matters . . either way, this song is dope, and if you can't feel it then you ain't real . .
Im sure Wayne cosigned it but the beat Wayne rapped on had some drums added to it.. Dont forget the producer.. Shit he probably was the one who introduced this song to Wayne.. Rappers get too much credit sometimes when they have a team of musicians backing them
Don Yowell was a friend of mine. I have recordings of his performances, but I've never heard Leah Kunkel's version of I Run With Trouble. I can't find the CD anywhere.
Hi VideosForBrian, I would like to chat w/ you about Don Yowell and his music as it pertains to my dissertation topic. I also have a copy of this Leah Kunkel album if you're like a copy. Could you please message me privately? Thanks!
So is she saying she is friends or lovers with Wayne or whats going in here bc I've heard lil Wayne mention a farm girl with cornbraids in the song Krazy or is this a different reference here...
Music Maven And she was married to the great rock drummer, Russ Kunkel. I've never understood why she only released two albums. Perhaps it was because she wanted to dedicate more time to raising her late sister's child. I've always really loved her voice. You can definitely hear a lot of Cass in her singing. You should listen to the ' Coyote Sisters ' album that she's on. Excellent
