u say u do -

Do you care about me?
Oh care about me..

Like you say you do
I bet you don't 
But I'll let it go 

Like you say you do
I bet you don't 
But I'll let it go 

Yeah I'll let it go 
You're too smooth to believe
I'm in love I'm naive

And do you care about me? 
Like you say you do (oh)

Do you feel me?
Ooh, yeah the real me.. 

Like you say you do
I bet you don't 
But I'll let it go 

Like you say you do
I bet you don't 
But I'll let it go

yeah

Back in 1931 in Clarksdale, Miss., one of the most influential soul/R&B artists was born. And had he not been shot and killed some 33 years later, Sam Cooke would be celebrating his 72nd birthday today, Jan. 22. The smoky voiced singer-songwriter paved the way for everyone from Otis Redding to Al Green to Aretha Franklin, all of whom cited Cooke as a major inspiration for their sound and style.

To honor the life and music of the King of Soul, we reached out to some of our favorite producers to pay homage to his legacy on our latest instrumental compilation. Ain’t That Good News: A Tribute to Sam Cooke partially shares the name of Cooke’s final studio album, which houses his most powerful and important song of all, “A Change Is Gonna Come”. I can personally remember that track hitting me like a ton—nay, 10 tons—of bricks when I first heard it as a teenager. While I could never understand the pain and tragedy he experienced, Cooke’s longing vocals and resonating words struck me to the core.

We’ve presented a slew of instrumental compilations in the past, including the autumnal Robot Soup last October, but Ain’t That Good News is our most poignant to date. It features the likes of Scoop DeVille and Two Fresh reinterpreting prisoner anthem “Chain Gang” while Phil A and Poptartpete deliver beautifully constructed pieces derived from interview clips. Elsewhere, ILLINGSWORTH and IMAKEMADBEATS provide piano-laced bursts of caffeine and Swarvy takes “Mean Old World” to another dimension.

@joycewrice and I wanted to sing a duet, so I wrote this ballad about an existential aspect of the night life: to be, or not to be, on the guest list. I take on the roll of both sides, first the caller who needs to cut in line, and then the artist who tries to explain why the guest list is closed. Joyce is trying to set boundaries on the hook. Boundaries are important. Devin Morrison @devinmorrison and Mndsgn @mndsgn made the beat, and gatdam, what a beat it is…

much love to http://soundcloud.com/paradicebeats  (this is a beat he made a year ago, called "made you look")

these flows are my thirteenth labor,
my dark horse, and dull saber… 
my cool neighbor asked me over, pork barbecue, 
i finally said i rapped,
he asked how hard are you,
i told him like family, ready to martyr you,
rocks, nails, things hard to chew,
he asked, if it was a difficult art to do,
it is, but more demanding to not pursue,
he said i should do gigs, 
i could probably make it big,
he might be right, i took another swig,
it's stupid, but i'm not sure it's something i would dig,
i replied, then i took a bite of pig,
it's dumb, because you make what you merit,
and regardless of the things you inherit,
only you should hold your stick and your carrot,
i thought, 
when i preach why do i feel like a parrot?
when i sing over beats though, i just grin and bare it,
i care if you think i'm wrong, 
i'm really trying to grow, not just get along,
all the ways i'm trying to build you might not consider strong,
but every thought that comes to me from you will steer my song,
if only subtly, 
when my eyes and ears shut me, i'll still try to feel you, 
understand your milieu, and rap you my deal too,

anyways, walked home in a beer and henny haze,
path lit in the rising sun's many rays,
thinking of music, how i feel when she plays,
how she moves me to penning praise,
i should probably give her all of me today,
try to find a way, try to find the faith,
pry into the doubt that haunts me like a wraith,
gifts, like time, i should not taunt or waste,
i need to find a healthy haste, where i can still savor,
because these flows are my thirteenth labor,
my dark horse, and dull saber,
my battlefield and search for a grindstone.
