“Live and Let Break” is something I threw together with a collection of samples from the 60s and 70s:
Starting out with cuts of Lyn Collins’ “Think About It” and other James Brown vocal nuggets, the track steps up to crazy mode when the samples of Paul McCartney (@paulmccartney) and Wings’ “Live and Let Die” start spilling out.
“Live and Let Die” was always a DJ CHiEF favorite, as well as the 1991 Guns & Roses cover that revitalized an already dope track for the young’ns, myself included.
Some background on the original jam from Wikipedia:
Commissioned specifically for the movie and credited to McCartney and his wife Linda, it reunited the former with Beatles producer George Martin, who both produced the song and arranged the orchestral break. It has been covered by several bands, with Guns N’ Roses‘ version being the most popular. Both McCartney’s and Guns N’ Roses’ versions were nominated for Grammys. In 2012, McCartney was awarded the Million-Air Award from Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), for over 4 million performances of the song in the US.
