I got 5 On It By The Luniz! Sampling Sources Part 66

🎶 Sample Breakdown: Luniz – “I Got 5 on It” (Noo Trybe Records, 1995) 🔁 Sampled: Club Nouveau – “Why You Treat Me So Bad” (Warner Bros. Records, 1986) In 1995, Luniz dropped “I Got 5 on It”—a Bay Area classic about going half on a sack, but the production took it way beyond just stoner music. The haunting, wavy instrumental instantly caught ears nationwide, and that unforgettable bassline? Straight from Club Nouveau’s “Why You Treat Me So Bad.” Released in 1986, the Club Nouveau original was an R&B jam with moody synth stabs, that sliding bassline, and pleading vocals about heartbreak. But Luniz and producers Tone Capone and Mike Marshall took the beat and stripped it back—looping the melody, bringing out the melancholy, and laying it under bars about weed, loyalty, and betrayal. The result? A West Coast anthem that somehow feels chill and heavy at the same time. That eerie, minor-key loop gives the track a dark tension that feels like paranoia and cloud smoke all in one. And it didn’t stop there—“I Got 5 on It” had a second life when Jordan Peele used it in the Us (2019) trailer, flipping it into a horror soundtrack. That's the mark of a beat with true emotional weight. 💿 From R&B heartbreak to blunt-passing classic to horror trailer soundtrack—this sample’s journey is legendary. 🔍 Sample info confirmed via WhoSampled.com #Luniz #IGot5OnIt #ClubNouveau #WhyYouTreatMeSoBad #BayAreaRap #WestCoastClassics #HipHopSamples #SampleBreakdown #WhoSampled #90sRap #UsMovie
