The Dolly Parton Sample That Built “Ghetto Supastar” 🤯
Welcome to episode 122 of #TuneTwinz by #aardotbeatz!
The instrumental foundation and vocal hook of the 1998 hip-hop anthem “Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)” by Pras, featuring Mýa and Ol' Dirty Bastard, relies on a direct interpolation of a legendary country-pop crossover hit. Released on May 11, 1998, the rap track was co-produced by Pras, Wyclef Jean, Jerry 'Wonda' Duplessis, and Che Pope.
The original source audio is the classic duet “Islands in the Stream,” recorded by country icons Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. Released in August 1983 as the lead single for Rogers' album Eyes That See in the Dark, the original song was written entirely by the Bee Gees.
#FunFact: Ol' Dirty Bastard only ended up on “Ghetto Supastar” because he accidentally wandered into the wrong recording studio, heard the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers sample playing, instantly loved the sound, and demanded to record a verse for the song.
