Can you think of any hip hop songs sampled by Prince?
All I can think of is:
2 pac "to live and die in la" Do me baby
Mc Lyte "paper thin" 17 days
MC hammer "pray" when doves cry
Ja Rule "thug life" Pop Life
De La Soul cant remember the title Ballad of DOrthy Parker.

yep. here's more:

Big Daddy Kane feat.Al B. Sure!

Song:The Lover In You.

Sample:Pop Life

Album:Prince Of Darkness.



Biz Markie :This Is Something For The Radio.

Sample:Kristin Scott-Thomas Drum beat From the "Under The Cherry Moon" movie.



The Doc.(not The D.O.C. but the doc from the rap group U.T.F.O."roxanne roxanne".he has released his own c.d.)

Song:Sue Me

Sample:The scream from "When Doves Cry"


i have to think of others later.

Here are a few from the top of my head:

2pac-- I think the song is "Toss It Up", sample from thr backwards piece at the end of "Darling Nikki"

R.B.L. Posse-- album "A Lesson To Be Learned" (sorry can't think of the track title right now), sample from "Soft And Wet"

MoKenStef-- Not exactly "Hip Hop" but still a cool sample of "Do Me, Baby" on their song called "He's Mine"

I'll get back to ya'll on that "RBL" track!

The Egyptian Lover sampled just a little snipplet of "Head", "Let's Work", and "Lady Cab Driver" in his song "Baddest Beat Around".

"Heartz Of Men" by 2pac sampled "Darlin Nikk"

"Pac's Life" by Pac sampled Pop Life

"Thugz Get Lonely Too" by 2pac sampled "If I Was Your Girlfriend"

"Is It Cool 2 Fuck" by 2pac & ThugLife sampled "Get It Up" by The Time

"Change The World" by Bone Thugs N Harmoney sampled "Little Red Corvette"

"Murder Me" by Bizzy Bone sampled "Purple Rain"

ok, this is probably the the one I meant...

wow I never notice any of this!

Only "pray"

I forget the name of the rapper, but he samples LRC.

beyonce botches up "if i was ur gf" in her song with jay z-- me and my girlfriend...

jay and biggie had a song on that godawful 1st posthumous album puffy slapped together in biggies name-- it sampled "kiss".

how many rappers have said the phrase "paint a perfect picture..."
pac
50
ja rule

camron has a song called diamonds and pearls--- sampling u know what.

OnionJuice said:

Oh, I mean the "original version" of Thugz Get Lonely Too; not the new remixed version on Pac's latest album.

what 'P' song is that from?
[Edited 3/28/05 22:35pm]

Hmm, I believe Prince wrote majority of MC Hammer's stuff. Can't remember where I read/heard that.

didnt pac also sample 7779311 in the song whats ya phone number?

cinnamonjo said:

jay-z wasnt on that Born again LP.

Soulchild82 said:

Welp-- he was on the version of that song that was being played in NYC...I didnt bother buying the album-- so maybe it was a remix.

AsianConnection said:

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES U ALWAYS SEEM TO LOOOOOSSSSSE, baby.

Also-- this horrible down south rapper/singer named mercedes sampled both pebbles and vanity 6 for her song entitled "dont u wanna ride" or somesuch nonsense.

NO Limit records be damned.















I did like that song though.

Prolly nothing to do with it, but I always hear part of the 'gett Off' prince scream in House of Pain's 'Jump Around'.... Although I am told the 'scream' in Jump Around is actually a sample of a horse...

Arrested Development sampled "Alphabet St." for their song, "Tennessee".

cinnamonjo said:

:doh:YES! My bad!

Candyman's "Night Gown" samples "Head".

Eve uses "Irresistable Bitch" on her track "Irresistable Chick"

daydreamer said:

nightgown also uses "irresistable bitch"






(and "flamethrower" by j. geils band in the intro, but that's not the point i guess)

You might need to be from the South to know this, but Rahim The Dream sampled the Most Beautiful Girl in the World.
