MARVIN GAYE - T PLAYS IT COOL (UNEDITED) 

The drums were looped. listen closely.

@@volumeunitsoundsystem3983 Maybe this version has looped drums but not the original recording. Marvin was a Motown session drummer before he got a deal. He played the drums on "Mr. Postman" too.

@@biffstudd indeed, he started out on drums. i thought it interesting that the drums on this were looped, he would have to splice it together on reel.

@@biffstudd The drums were indeed looped.

This track holds another very important distinction: the FIRST fully synthesized bass line. NOT FLASHLIGHT.

Here you can see a 1976 CEC BD6000 turntable with 1976 SONY XL55 MC cart playing this in HQ from Vinyl: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nV8UHjBJkqE.html&lc=z22buvxwtk3ufdmwk04t1aokgmchcga140u43e3lix1mrk0h00410

Ty Miller . . .l bet Marvin is on synthesizer.

Tony Brown played this track on WDAS in Philadelphia.

@@robertrudick2492 I'm just now seeing your reply! I grew up in Yeadon. First day in college a Philly homeboy was blasting it. Another brother heard it knocked on the door and asked if we were from Philly too!.

Yes without a doubt! My all time favorite track. A true Monster!

Damn right

Andy McDify GANGSTA GROOVE!

Stays on blast on 6 Mile to this day

Word?? Didn't know it existed. Time to hit Amazon. Thanks!

No - unless you consider Hip Hop, Soul-Jazz fusion which Hip Hop has almost no relation to other than the idea sound is something your ears hear.

HUSTL O NIAN I could put a hot 16 bars over this track, with a hook. This is straight up hip hop. Hip Hop was the child of Soul/Funk of the late 60s through mid 70s.

No it wasn't and to say so is just to campaign for the rewriting of the history of popular music. Because there was a beat in this man's music doesn't mean it was "hip-hop". We cannot argue against Music begets music and all histories of music influence the future of music but to get to "hip-hop" you would need to go through the transitions in R&B, Disco, RAP and all the flavorless sounds in-between. Outside of a few good bands like The Roots - (who I was listening to long before their fame), "hip-hop' is just flavorless noise based upon the transitions in corporate RAP and now that with electronica, which by the way was something noted for in the late 60's and has been an element in all genres of music since. Saying MG was a 'hip-hop' artist is like saying Elvis was the original "punk band" musician. Give MG his time and his music and allow him to hold onto the mantle of Cool in Jazz or R&B but stop calling his music "straight up hip-hop". Have some R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Theodore McGee you took my praise of this beat to epic proportions. Perhaps you thought I was calling trap music hip hop. I'm talking about the boom bap era of the late eighties/early nineties. Can you please name one beat prior to this, with the cadence that could support a hot 16. I have a superior knowledge of Hip Hop. For example; I have never heard anyone rap better than Black Thought's song stealing performance on Pharoah Monch's PTSD album. So believe me; I'm no slouch on my music history. g.co/kgs/qnL7ZE

Borrowing a beat from others was the thesis of early hip-hop including the break up of known pieces using multiple turn-tables in the style of a disco's use of turn-tables to keep the beat going non-stop. Applying MG's brilliant sense of beat and sound to hip-hop though a nice homage is just completely discarding and hijacking his genre and intent. The evolution of hip-hop from the street scene to the arena and recording booth has many influences and none more strongly than those of Funk. The absence of melody in RAP gave modern hip-hop its sound for the 2000's - most important, lets let "hip-hop" be "hip-hop" and soul/Jazz-fusion be in the genre it is. Though it's a wonderful homage to include the great Marvin Gaye with influencing today's music, you'd have to say Kraftwerk did the same and I'm certain you would never go that far. And I'm sure you're not going to include MG with gangsta hip-hop/RAP. One thing more - never associate the hip-hop negativity, anger, meanness, hate, bile, offensive language such as the use of "nigga" with the great MG. He was LOVE and courage in his music and most hip-hop is so disassociated with that, it truly is another language and a different type of communication.
