Of course, you know you're wrong. Nobody samples Prince.



Sincerely,


Disgruntled Princefam

"The Future Sound Of London" also sampled Prince on one of
their albums. I think it's the opening track of the album
with the 3d artwork on it. Papua New Guinea or something
like that. They sampled the opening scream from Lovesexy's
"Eye No".

Wow! Extensive list. I didn't know half of these.

I guess Tupac was a serious Prince fan as has been reported elsewhere, cuz he got 3 samples and they're from some songs that wouldn't come to mind immediately for sampling:

"Darlin Nikki"
"The Ladder"
"If I Was Your Girlfriend" (which of course spawned Jay Z and Beyonce's "Me and My Girlfriend")

He also did 777-9311 The Time

rdhull said:

Ahhh, yes I didn't look up related artists...

Time, The
The Time: (Warner Bros 1981)
* "Get it Up"
Tupac's "Is it Cool to F--k?"
TLC's "Get it Up" (Remake)
Young Lay's "Playah's Mode" (Remix)

What Time Is It?: (Warner Bros 1982)
* "777-9311"
Tupac ft Danny Boy's "Whatz Ya Phone #"
* "The Walk"
11/5's "Garcia Vegas"
MC Lyte's "Everyday"
* "Gigolos Get Lonely Too"
Above the Law's "Kalifornia"
K-Dee's "Gigalos Get Lonely Too"
Snoop Dogg's "D.O.G.'s Get Lonely 2"

Supernova said:

There's also Blaque's "Bring It All to Me" (produced by Left-Eye) which definitely borrowed from "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" uncredited.

nine inch nails sampled alphabet street at the end of the song "ringfinger" (last song on pretty hate machine). trent took a fairly long piece of the (funkier) beat heard later in the song. also, a very small snippet of sexuality is heard in the digital underground song "dowutchyalike"--right after humpty says "just grab em in the biscuits (ooh) and dowutchyalike (ooh) (prince:: aaooww!!!)".

$.02.

--gm--

and the majority of these artists are where now???

That wasn't a sample, that was just a plain ripoff.

doeineffect said:

heheh yeah I know like Lenny's "When Will I See You Again" formerly known as "Whenever Wherever"

NuPwrSoul . .. . im gonna look 4 that 2Pac song wit the Nikki sample . . .should b interesting.

Digital Underground also sampled "She's Always in My Hair" and used it in "Sex Packets".

Eve *irresistable bitch*

'Jump Around' samples 'Gett Off'???

Not 2 sure about that one. Is DJ Muggs a closet Prince fan?

The looped scream is Prince's from Gett Off.
