Chingy = portrait of tracy ?

[Stingrayz]

Hello all,

I was watching conan yesterday and he had chingy as a music guest, is it me or did he have a lick from portrait of tracy in the background repeating ?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

Basically, yes. The sample is from an SWV song, and the SWV song made it based off of "Portrait of Tracy." It's sort of a second-hand sample.

This was discussed at great length, with many users coming out of the woodwork to say all (with some exclusions of course) of the following:

"Rap sucks!"
"Jaco sucks!"
"MTV sucks!"
"Well, not all rap sucks!"
"Well, not all Jaco sucks!"
"Well... yeah, MTV sucks!"
