The extended version of Arrested Developments "Tennessee" also features a sample of Prince's vocal ad libs from the beggining of "Shockadelica"

Arrested Development samples "Tennessee" from "Alphabet St." in their song "Tennessee"

Freedom of Soul samples "Dorothy Parker" in one song, forget the title. It's from the album Caught In The Land of Time

MC Hammer liberally used "Soft and Wet" for a song of the same title, as well as "When Doves Cry" in "Pray" (which I loved at the time).

Isn't it Missy Elliot that samples the scream from "Gett Off" in a song?

PM Dawn covers "1999" on the album Jesus Wept.

They also sample "Let's Go Crazy" guitar solo in some song that escapes me. I've tried finding it in my PM Dawn stuff, but can't seem to locate it.

There isn't a musical sample of "The Ladder" in 'Pac's "I Get Around". The credit is there because of the following lyrics:

"You ask why, it don't matter, my pockets got fatter
Now everybody's lookin for the ladder"

The music sample on that track is from Zapp & Roger's "Computer Love".

Also, "2 Live And Die in LA" doesn't sample Prince's "Do Me, Baby", but Meli'sa Morgan's cover version.

Digital Underground & Tupac's track 'Wussup With The Luv' samples 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker', that's one you missed from your list.

i read about the first one on wikipedia...it doesnt sound like a sample from darling nikki though

L4OATheOriginal said:

sorry to be a pedant but it's BROTHER'S GONNA WORK IT OUT, not Welcome 2 the Terrordome that samples Let's Go Crazy!

Digital Underground sample a Madhouse track (sorry can't remember which one) on Hip-Hop Doll (b-side to Doowutchyalike).

my bad ..thanks 4 correcting me

JUMP AROUND - HOUSE OF PAIN

The high screaming from P at the start of gett off is used lots of times in jump around.

lotusflw3r said:

i think it's the intro from the "16" album.

They sampled the beginning of the backwards speech after Darling Nikki.

MC Hammer Pray- When Doves Cry

Egyptian Lover - Baddest Beats Around

Samples: Let's Work, Head, and Lady Cab Driver.

heartz of men samples the backwards laughing at the end of darling nikki.
Anyhow one that people often miss is the sample of Cindy C. in PM Dawn's Watcher's Point of View.

I think Digital Underground's Doowhutchyalike samples the yelp at the beginning of Sexuality.

^It sure does! i 4got about that one.
Bone Thugz N Harmony's song "Change the World" samples "Little Red Corvette".

Thats a ridiculous reason to have a credit.

emesem said:

I agree, but it shows how much love 'Pac had for Prince. Matter fact, I had a long conversation with Johnny J (main producer of All Eyez On Me, RIP Johnny) about how he and Pac were both big Prince fans, when I interviewed him at his studio in '06.

Any of y'all here that are Pac fans should check out my tribute to Johnny, you can peep it at http://www.s-endz.com , click the pic that says "Johnny J Remembered".

Good ear.

I forget exactly which song it was, but there was a song on Amerikkka's Most Wanted album Guerrillas In Tha Mist that used the opening scream from Gett Off throughout the entire song.

He also sampled 2 bars of the "Housequake" drum pattern in the middle of "They Put Me In The Mix".

NpgSoldier said:

Good point. I've only heard that album once or twice, LONG LONG ago. I would've never remembered that one, yet somehow I knew he had probably sampled Prince more than those couple of times.
