The other day I was at the Secaucus train station and a song by Sting came on I immediately recognized it as the sample from Emotional by Carl Thomas. See if you can spot it yourself.
The sample I chose was a dope joint from UGK called International Players Anthem. They sampled a classic soulful ballad from Willie Hutch titled I Choose You. You can hear the sample as soon as both songs start.
I kinda thought there were more samples to 'Live Fast, Die Young'. I guess my ears fooled me. #KanyeShrug lol ... Anyway you can hear the Kid Dynamite sample 3:03 to 3:08 into'Uphill Peace of Mind' and the James Brown sample is found :10 into 'Funky President'
Would You Like A Sample seems to be a favorite amongst you folks so I HAD to give you folks a great deal since I've been gone for so long. "Wild Flower" by Hank Crawford is a classic and this one jazz song has been sampled by a number of rappers. Most recently it's been Drake with "Miss Me" (heard at 1:42-1:44), but "Drive Slow" by Kanye, "Dreams" by J Cole, "Shorty Wanna Be A Thug" by Tupac, and "No Ones Iller" by Eminem have all featured this song!
WOWZERS! U learn something new EVERYDAY! I never ever knew that Micheal Jackson's infamous song "P.Y.T." was sampled from another classic "Bad Mama Jama" by Carl Carlton. Check it out below...
*MJ sample starts at 0:16 ** Carl Carlton sample starts at 0:02
I'm not gonna lie Jim Jonsin and Rico Love covered this sample up pretty well, but if you play both 'Nite and Day' and 'There Goes My Baby' at the same time you will defiantly hear it.
*Usher sample starts at 0:00 ** Al B Sure sample starts at 0:13
I think that Baskin-Robbins "Ice Cream and Cake" commercial is soo dope becuz it's sampled from "Peanut Butter Jelly Time"... take a listen 4 yourself...
In my opinion, this sample is interesting because I can sorta kinda hear Evelyn Champagne, but then it fades out. You can def pick up on it when The Dream starts singing though.
My fav segment is BACK! Today is a sample from the late great, Barry White. and the queen of hip hop soul, Mary J. U can def hear this sample instantly!
It is so true what they say... u learn something new every day! I never knew "Go Hard" by DJ Khaled was orginally from a Madonna song. Check it out for yourself. The sample starts at :03 seconds
I heard "You Complete Me" by Keyshia Cole today on the radio and I never notice the sample to "Black Butterfly". As it was playing I started sining "Morning Light..." lol and thats how I realized she jacked from Denice Williams. This Sample starts at 3:30.
OMG! This is FIRE! I'm seriously on a roll tonight!!!! She Got Her Own was sampled?!?! WHAT! And the original is by Donna Summer... WHAT!!!! And the original is insane...WHAT!!! Cha Ching Cha Ching
Would You Like A Sample: (88 Key's- Stay Up (Viagra) samples Imagination- All Night Loving)
I gotta admit I was HAPPY when I found this info out. I've never heard of the orginial song or the band playing the song. I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW! HIP HIP HOORAY! The sample comes in on the 1st :26 seconds
WWWAAAYYYY BACK. Before the crazy wife, the confessions, or even before he had it 'his way' Usher sampled one of my fav musicans Ronnie Laws when he peeked into the hearts of thousands of teenage girls (excluding me! i was only 5 and still playing with barbies)
Check It Out his hit "Think Of You"
BTW I ADORE the original version cuz I love jazz music =)
The sample for Bow Wow's hit "Like You" is a sample from New Edition's song "Leavin You". Dats strange cuz my mom is da biggest New Edition fan and I never heard dis song. I'm glad I looked this up =].
ok this has offically become my fav. segment! I just found out what this sample was! And truth be told it's one of my fav hip hop songs and it's da 1st I studied. I LOVE T.C.Q. I feel so lucky to have seen them perform at Hip Hop Honors.
Check out the O.G. Minnie Riperton "Baby, This Love I Have"
Love Like This is obviously a sample but many don't know what the orginal song is. It's a Nile Rodgers classic with his group Chic. The O.G. song is called Chic Cheer.
