ObscureHipHopFilter: identify this sample.
...Off the Hollertronix mix album "Never Scared," the first track begins with a little kid rapping over a beat. I want to know:
a) Where the sample of the kid rapping is from
b) What the beat is
The track is the same title as the album, "Never Scared," and I get the feeling this sample is used other places too.
Google was no help.
The kid's words are (as I understand them):
When I come through the street everybody be like whoa / like her too / everyday I go through the street like whoa / Everytime nobody play with me I whoa / and then mm mm mmmmm / an MC, and uh, uh, like dro, like whoa / I keep bling bling around my neck cause I'm wit thangs
Help!

Response by poster: You're right. When I get off work I'll try and put one online.

I've always figured that the kid was recorded by Diplo or Low Budget and they just put the sample at the beginning of the CD, particularly since you hear an older guy kind of mock the kid with 'Whoa, whoa, whoa' for repeatedly rhyming 'whoa'.
