Chest Pain (I Love) — Malcolm Todd
Malcolm Todd’s “Chest Pain (I Love)” is the source recording in this pair. Rolling Stone’s description of its Musicians on Musicians conversation says Don Toliver sampled it on “E85,” and that the two became fast friends afterward. So we begin with Todd’s track: the documented connection starts here. Hear Chest Pain (I Love) by Malcolm Todd.
E85 — Don Toliver
Now Don Toliver’s “E85” completes the link: Rolling Stone’s description identifies it as the track where Toliver sampled Malcolm Todd’s “Chest Pain (I Love).” The description says the two became fast friends afterward. It doesn’t identify the sampled passage, but it places this recording at the other end of the connection. Hear E85 by Don Toliver.
Hear the pair as source and sample: Todd’s recording first, then Toliver’s “E85.”
