I thought this was a great idea for a thread, seems to have died though.

Here's to getting it going again:

Haha I was stuck until I got to the chorus and then it clicked. Andy Cole, ex-Man United star, sampled it on his unsuccessful single "Outstanding". I thought it was a decent enough song :P.

"Andy Cole break it down"

This next one is sort of difficult. It's from a classic though so ye should get it.

This is a hard one, be interested to see who can get it.

P4DDY2K11 - It's Pharcyde - Passing Me By. It's the only song of theirs I know.
pragmatic1 - Is Quiero Fumar by Cypress Hill a slowed-down version of that ESG song?

Ha, actually the song I heard it in was True To The Game by Ice Cube.

TROY - Pete Rock and Cl Smooth ^

This is a relatively easy one

HalloweenJack · 26-07-2012 06:09PM

Not exactly rap but it sounds a lot like this to me:

Yea got it in one. I was thinking of posting the other sample from it but it's way too easy. It's one of my favourite beats of all time.

Should be a nice and easy one

Jimmy Iovine · 26-07-2012 09:06PM

Flicking through this thread has made me realise how little rap songs I actually know. I could fill my iPod twice over with the amount of music on my laptop and I'm still hitting a blank with most of them.

I know this one

.

First time I've heard that original song. I can't understand why people give out about rappers "stealing" other people's songs. If someone can take a sample from a song like that and turn it into "My Name Is" then they should be applauded imo.

This one is easy enough again.

Jimmy Iovine · 28-07-2012 01:33AM

Here's a tricky enough one. I remember this pissed me off for years until I figured it all out.

I know I've heard a song that sampled that Dr. Dre version.

Did the Wu Tang version sample that one or the original?

If not, I think it was either Snoop or Ice Cube. Man, that's really pissing me off, too.

Andy_rse · 29-07-2012 07:47PM

Puffy used Lil Ghetto Boy on Young Gz

and didnt Biggie use Dres vocals on a track. i can hear it in my head.

Jimmy Iovine · 29-07-2012 07:58PM

I actually can't remember what song it is myself any more.

All I know is Andy's right. It's a Biggie song. But which one? :P

EDIT: I remember it now. It's a brilliant song.

Andy_rse · 29-07-2012 08:14PM

I cheated and looked it up

Things done changed!

Vocal samples seem to confuse me more than music ones.

And there's nothing worse than knowing that you know where something comes from and can't remember.

Andy_rse · 29-07-2012 08:26PM

There's a very well known sample lifted from this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp__ZKjGEmk

A few people have sampled different parts of it like Dr Octagon and I think MC Abdominal but we're talking about an absolute classic here!

The top youtube comment kinda gives it away!

There are so irritating because they can lie in the back of your head for days on end just eating away at you. Then a few weeks later you might remember where you heard it from.

That Biggie sample must have been in my head for months on end.

That is unbelievable. I'll admit I cheated on it. I actually had to listen to the song to link it up.

What in the world possessed the producer to pick out that sample and use it? That's on a different level. No wonder it's such a classic when you have that kind of attention to detail.

BetterCallSaul · 30-07-2012 04:13PM

You shouldn't need to look at the YouTube comments for this one.

iamstop · 30-07-2012 09:52PM

My Gene Page one that nobody guessed was sampled by KRS on Higher Level

Bobby Baccala · 31-07-2012 12:16PM

Sampled around 2002 by a fairly big rapper, bit of a tough one.
