THE DETROIT EMERALDS - "YOU'RE GETTING A LITTLE TOO SMART"

You're Getting a Little Too Smart   (Abrim Tilmon) - 3:39

You just knew that opening drum solo was going to get sampled to death and it has - 2Pac ('Only Fear of Death');  Common ('I Want You'); L.L. Cool J ('Back Seat of My Jeep'), Limp Bizkit ('The Nookei'), etc., etc. ,   ...  Same with the hypnotizing bass line.  Imagine what a mash-up of a Detroit soul group and Sly and the Family Stone would sound like and you'll be in the aural ballpark for this one.  Simply killer tune that you won't be able to it still through.  The song was tapped as a single:



- 1973's 'You're Getting a Little Too Smart' b/w 'Heaven Couldn't Be Like That' (Westbound catalog number W 213) # 101 pop; # 28 R&B
