Cant find a bump stuck in my head

[NumyMufn]

but you're sure there were lyrics? ... hmmm...

[NumyMufn]

Okies, I've never heard the vocals on these tracks since I only have the instrumentals... and they go back a bit further... not sure about '03 but definitely '04

Closer? Also "Just Think" from that album was used pretty often but we don't seem to have one.

Dude I'm so sorry I've been gone so long, lot of things happening.

Those two are getting really close to the sound. I'll keep working on it haha, thank you for being patient though and posting those two up, I'm damn sure it's close to that era of bumps.

I can't remember for sure if it was used, but there's another track to try from the Dudley Perkins 'A Lil' Light' album (if you haven't already checked it out.) ~ "Lord's Prayer"

Found one that has guitar and vocals, although it's faster. How about "Are You Ready?" by Collective Efforts?

Sorry for the necrobump, but I was digging around for something and re-read this thread. did you see this from mongo? and if you did, were you aware that it's sometimes mismarked as "Touch My Soul" so even if you checked you may have listened to the incorrect song? Here's a bump link with it http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/3189

Sorry still not the right one, this has been buzzing in my head again now lol, sorry for the necro but obviously my mind wants this figured out.

To clarify the song does have lyrics but the portion that was "bumped" was simply the reverb/echo guitar that played to strings at a time at least that sounded higher pitched. It sounds like octaves in my head but I can't be sure.

The voice that raps to it to this day sounds like it's MosDef.

Wish my mind would let it be put to rest lol.

There are two track suggestions you still haven't responded to, "Just Think" and "Lord's Prayer" ... I didn't have links for them at the time (I still don't have bumps for either.) You can listen to samples here:

"Lord's Prayer is dead on as far as the speed and close to the rhythm you plotted out.

It HAS to be by Madlib or Dudley Perkins. If the voice is Perkins then it sounds exactly like the voice stuck in my head that goes along with the string instrument. Now that I hear the style it fits exactly. Now I just have to narrow it down to which song. It isn't either one of those two but the artist sounds spot on.

Umm... wow... I don't think I've thrown this one out yet, it just started playing in my head while I was reading your post so I have to try. It would have played mostly in early 2006, but obviously they kept it around. The bad news is it's from the VMP

On the other hand, if you're convinced it was Madlib, in the early years they had unreleased tracks from him that weren't even titled - there is the possibility it was one of those.

I'm starting to think that is the case. The track you posted has a similar melody but not the right instrument and the feel is too much energy. The track was very cool and laid back.

Perhaps I'll grab my guitar and make a recording so you can hear it. I'll try to use a pedal effect similar to theirs.

EDIT:

I had the notes wrong they should be this

F# G  |F#  E  |A    B |G   F#| F# B  |D   E      rest  |G   F# |F# G  |F# G | rest  |G  F# |
1 and |2 and |3 and|4  and| 1 and|2 and |3  and |4  and|1  and|2 and|3 and|4 and |
F# B  | D    E|
1 and| 2 and|


BPM: 88.5
Nearest Whole: 88

Hopefully this all transcribes well but I am sure this time this is the right setup.

Note: All the notes are supposed to be actual chords on a guitar but I cannot create the chord from just the sound in my head quite yet.
