The goal was to blend those two worlds through the art of sampling.\u00a0I loved the minimalism of a beautiful vocal arrangement over a simple drum loop or a classic guitar like \u2018Irreplaceable\u2019\u2026but only if that 808 was banging underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tB\u2019Day arrived in the summer of 2006 and was a Number One success.
