[Closed] Best record sampled in another record

The first 6 seconds of drums. On nearly every Hip-Hop album ever.

Marlena Shaw - Woman of The Ghetto (Live) as sampled on Blueboy's "Remember Me"

Corking example. The original is a 10-minute epic describing a mother's descent into poverty and prostitution, the Blueboy tune is background music for a wine bar.

The Winstons - Amen Brother
(about 1.25 in)

Perhaps the most influential sample ever and i reckon most people who have heard it wont know where it came from.

Start! is a different bassline from Taxman. There's a extra note at the end of the riff 😉

www.whosampled.com is great for stuff like this. For example:
http://www.whosampled.com/sample/view/626/The%20Wiseguys-Ooh%20La%20La_Lalo%20Schifrin-Jim%20on%20the%20Move/

Special mention must go to "When the levee breaks" by zep. That drum pattern is everywhere.
edit. Beaten to it.

Dilated Peoples - Worst Comes To Worst

william bell - I Forgot to be Your Lover

A current one

I like "Amen Brother" but there's not much to the tune apart from the monster drums!

Bit like this oddity. I wonder how many people listened to the original compared to De La Soul, Ultramagnetic, etc:

Stooges I wanna be your dog in PWIE def con one.

I can't really get into Nas, even though this album has great production it's got the bleakest lyrics ever:

But I love this album:

And Stanley Cowell has awesome threads on the back cover.

Google David Axelrod

zippykona - probly need a new thread for samples in PWEI records!

Mel & Kim's Respectable?

Inspired PWEI Samples - Nat king Cole on There is No Love Between Us Any More

I'd take these over anything Fatboy Slim's done:

No one mentioned this classic yet...

Marlena Shaw - Woman of The Ghetto (Live) as sampled on Blueboy's "Remember Me"

Corking example. The original is a 10-minute epic describing a mother's descent into poverty and prostitution, the Blueboy tune is background music for a wine bar.

Being an anorak about it, it (the original) is about the plight and history of black mothers in America in general - hence "I am THE woman of the ghetto" and all that stuff about slave ships, lack of access to education as well as the drugs and prostitution bit. I agree that once you've heard that, the Blueboy thing is almost offensive in its chirpy popness.

Paul's Boutique must be the most diverse collection of sampling. Took me years to recognise Time by the Floyd in barrel of a gun.

Many many many tunes owe themselves to that bit of drumming..

I really like the Terry Callier sample in this

Nowt wrong with being an anorak about it. I saw Marlena Shaw playing live the other year, she was ace and looked like she was really enjoying herself.

Another example of a great tune where the sampling song (Moby) stripped out all the power of the original:

world of music, ini kamoze

becomes

Spandau Ballet were on the radio yesterday and I fondly recalled this

Ini's not opposed to a bit of borrowing himself though. 😉

The Message by Cymande, as sampled by MC Solaar.

Liquid Liquid's Cavern into White Lines:

Cymande are fantastic. I was really surprised to find out they were British (well, their LP was, I think the members of the group came from all over). They were put together by the same bloke who discovered Status Quo.

I'm not sure they're better known on account of being sampled, although a few famous groups have used them.

organic355: Very interesting. I had no idea it all came from that one "Amen break"....

The Amen break is one of, if not the most used sample in history, it pretty much helped spawn the whole D&B/Jungle movement back in the early 90's.

Anyway... Here's some more VERY sampled classics... Points win prizes people, so see if you can guess where else they've been sampled! No points if you have to google it or look on whosampled.com... 😉

And that's just a few of the more well known ones... There are more where those came from! 😉

Max Romeo 'I chase the Devil' - Prodigy used it in Out of Space. Both great tracks..

Love that Liquid Liquid one

Me, Myself and I

taken from

Much more interesting when the style of music is changed from the original.

I'll play mboy's game -
Diana Ross - dunno
Just Brothers is another FBS one (Right about now..etc)
Quincy Jones - My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style (Definition of Sound?)
Then Praise You & De La Soul's Magic Number.
Recognise Chaka Khan, but can't place it.
Herbie - that's Groove is In the Heart

I remember being pretty shocked hearing this Labi Siffre track a year or so after the Eminem track.
(listen to a bit then skip to 2:10)

It's an absolutely fantastic original though. Play it whenever I'm having a vinyl night in without the family 🙂

Two of my all time favorites.

De La Soul are too easy 😉

The KLF sampling MC5's Kick out the Jams on What Time is Love?

Possibly my favorite sample ever...........

Diana Ross was used on Biggie - Mo' Money mo' Problems.
That Chaka Khan track is the backbone of Stardust - Music Sounds Better.

There are plenty of unlikely samples here: http://www.egotripland.com/category/sample-flips-2/

a few house tracks

classics

always loved this track

Herbie - that's Groove is In the Heart

Diana Ross sampled by... Notorious B.I.G in "Mo Money, Mo Problems"

Just Brothers... Fatboy Slim "Funk Soul Brother"

Quincy Jones... Dream Warriors "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style"

Camille Yarborough... Fatboy Slim again "Praise You"

Bob Dorough... Like that wasn't easy! De La Soul indeed

Chaka Khan... Stardust "Music Sounds Better With You"... One of Thomas Bangalter's alter ego's that also destroyed the UK pop chart for weeks!

Herbie Hancock... Dee-lite "Groove is in the Heart" indeed... Though that track also used several other samples (as did most listed above actually!)

Here's one for ya... Where was this sampled...?

Now let's flip it round... This one has been sampled LOADS in all sorts of tracks since... But Bambaataa get his samples from originally? A small clue, some of the last places you'd expect a former gang leader from the Bronx to be getting samples from!

I can't link (or view 🙁 ) videos on this NHS library computer, but one of my faves is the way Janis Joplin's [i]Ball and Chain[/i] got translated into an Italian house tune - A.S.H.A.'s [i]J.J.Tribute[/i] - which itself was then ripped off for a couple of rave/jungle tracks...

That Clash track posted above actually uses the drums off this. I looked for it for ages (it's also been sampled for loads of hip hop and rave records) and never thought it might be a Kool and the Gang track - turns out they used to be an amazing funk band before heading down the road of disco cheese.

Arthur Baker replayed Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express for Planet Rock
Brick = Sunday Shoutin - Johnny Corporate

Some fantastic stuff on here! Cheers!

"Planet Rock"'s basically a mix of "Trans Europe Express" and "Numbers" by Kraftwerk innit. And supposedly borrows a bit from this, not sure it I can hear it though:

They also hired a Fairlight synth to make the "whole orchestra playing at once" hit that starts it off.

who sampled this nugget then?

Mos Def and many others have sampled this gem. Superb live.

wow Mr Agreeable - that Herbie and Quincy vid was amazing! Thanks for sharing it!

Bloody Hell, Rewski and Mr Agreeable on the ball! 😀

OK then... Who did Timmy Vegas nick the chords from this off? (incidentally, he replayed the whole thing, met him the other week, he told me when he actually met the guy who recorded the original a few years back he was bricking it!)

who sampled this nugget then?

Woo ha woo ha

Busta per chance?

This one by Sabres Of Paradise in ´93 owes everything to Lamont Booker, most people assumed it was an original track at the time although writing credits are on the record sleeve (i checked).

I give up !!!

Paul's Boutique must be the most diverse collection of sampling. Took me years to recognise Time by the Floyd in barrel of a gun.

pretty much the the most fun you can have with the internet is to track down all the samples off that album

a favourite of mine being

but this one for Jimmy James is a corker too

[url=

t's go back to the rock.......and see it in 440[/url]

NWA FTW

Always loved this:

Quincy Jones, Hendrix, Weather Report...

Some classic tunes in this, heavy on the soul and hip hop, which is never a bad thing. Just played Gardmaster Flash - White Lines and my wife said that she liked it.

Which means I can start playing the Besties in the house again.

From this:

To this:

Oh, and this

To this:

If mashups count;

Rock in Black.

AC/DC, Queen, Crowded House, some Zepp, a tiny bit of Ozzy, a snippet of Snoop and some John Lennon.

that 808 state - the jam - the Beatles is also sampled in a Beck song but I can't remember which one.

For an 11 year old boy it was like Willy Wonka chocolate coated crack cocaine.. 😀

Loving ethiopiques. Thanks for that one!
