Today (no pun intended)I figured I'd reminisce (pun intended) back to when I was watching episode 12 of the fabled *Boondocks* series on cartoon network. Personally, I'd always been a fan of Aaron Magruder and I loved the animated twist on the comic strip. Matter of fact, I'm still waiting to see if anything new is going to come of it. What I was prepared for was to be entertained and "Riley learns to paint" didn't disappoint. What I wasn't prepared for is what you'll find here at about the 3 minute mark during the car chase.....That's when I realized that one of the most famous sampled hooks in hip hop (T.R.O.Y. by Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth) actually came from this guy
Tom Scott...Who, at 19 mind you, cut his first album and along with it, the track entitled, *Today*. Bingo! Now it made complete sense! No wonder it sounded a bit dated->it was recorded in 67' but I still dig its charm none the less.So, Without further adieu, here it is!J-
