this is a while ago like 89 90
a song called Tall Cool One.
He samples the shut up already line
consequently its one of the first post zep collaborations with Jimmy Page (honey drippers not included

Who else has sampled Prince?

Only ones I can think of are Arrested Development - "Tennessee" and Hammer - "Pray", although to call Hammer's rape of "When Doves Cry" a sample is being very generous.

big audio dinomite
they dont so much sample him as
sing i wish u heaven in the backround

and they say hondalosidia in one track

Is Public Enemy using a portion of the Let's go Crazy guitar solo in the loop for "Brother's gonna work it out"?

(the first track of "Fear of a Black Planet")

is it "shut up" or "lighten up?" if you sample the very last part of Tall Cool One, the really low "lighten up," it's the same sample of Plant's voice they use on the chorus. i don't remember where it says "shut up" in there at all...

I don't either. I have a strong feeling you are mistaken, Jumbo Shrimp.

Although in that song Plant does sample Led Zeppelin's "The Ocean", and "Whole Lotta Love" in "Tall Cool One."

Yes.

REALLY? I've got to listen to that one again. I know they sample Slayer on "She Watch Channel Zero"

I used to listen to Now & Zen a lot and never heard "Housequake" either, and I'm pretty sure i would've locked into that pretty quick.

Yep. I thought it was pretty well known among Prince fans that PE sampled that guitar solo. Arrested Development also sampled Prince's voice from "Alphabet Street" when he says 'Tennessee' on their song "Tennessee."



I used to play that album a lot and never noticed anything that sounded like "Housequake" either. But if memory serves me on his next album "Manic Nirvana" he sampled something from a Janet Jackson album. Can't remember the details.

House of Pain-Jump around, they used the scream from the beginning of "gett off".

I remember hearing that for the first time saying..."HEEEY, I know that!!"

We must NEVER forget about Sir Mix-A-Lot using a sample of Prince saying "Awww... shut up" on "Lockjaw" lest we be punished by being forced to listen to modern rap music for 23 hours a day.


Then Mix went on to make the song "Cake Boy" which was clearly about Prince.

Dig these lyrics!

Cake Boy

He's in a yellow Camaro, skin so smooth
A buttercup boy from the funny school
His hair's all nice and wavy
And mine is nappy so you call me crazy
And he's got them skin-tight spandex on
Straight cake to the bone
He'd cook a big meal like your mother would
A cake boy, up to no good
He'll take your girlfriend from ya
And he's makin' my homeboys wonder
His body's a trip, got a booty like Josephine Baker
And a touch of blush make-up
And why most fly girls getitn' hooked on this?
'Cause he ain't down for the French kiss
Girl, I'ma tell you what a cake boy is
(But he's so sensitive!)
Tossed salad is the hairdo
Cappuchino latte - his brew
And he's down to do what most girls tell him to
Brother, I'm scared of you!
His cash flow is low
And he ain't down to throw
But when he shakes that girl-like body on the floor,
The girls go (boinggg!!)

Striaght cake boy!
Cake.
Straight-up cake boy! Huh, yeah.

I'm workin' out at the gym, a cake boy walks in
And all the girls step to him
And I'm trippin' 'cause I'm hard as nails
And he's lookin' like a smoker from hell
Spandex suit, pink deer-foam boots
And a backpack full of juice
And all the girlies start rubbin' him, and lovin' him
All the cake boys huggin' him
Takin' off his shirt, the cake boy had no gun
So don't throw him up, son
His walkman radio was playin'
(You gotta have cake!) That's what the tape was sayin'
And he was shakin' that thang like a Chubby Checker nightmare
All the homies stared
I don't know what it is, hell -
He was takin' more women than a mall sale!
His spandex stuck right up in the place where the sun don't shine
But the girls don't mind
'Cause that cake boy starts to move
To the old disco groove
And your girlfriend likes that
You may not like that, but that's a fact, black
He likes to roller-skate, skip rocks on lakes
The bourgeois girls want straight-up cake boys

Huh.

If your girl likes rhythm and blues, look out
'Cause that cake's in the house
But all singers ain't cake, though
Some stay black, while the others went yellow
Jump on stage like they never seen a ghetto
Singin' falsetto
Sayin' "Oo, I want your touch,
You know I just can't get enough!" (a-hoo-hoo)
And your girl gets sprung, stickin' out her tongue
And you sittin' like you're dumb 'till the show is done?
Naw, brothers, you gotta roll like this:
Find a woman that wants a man's kiss
'Cause if you don't you're bound to lose your girl
To that cake boy world
'Cause that cake boy'll pull up quick
And say "Does your man have a body like this?"
And you don't, 'cause you drink much brew, hah
Got a body like Buddah
And your game is strong, and your background is raw
Hit the cake boy dead in the jaw
And that cake boy broke down in ters
Now your girl is sho' nuff here
But don't sweat it, 'cause you ain't failin'
Get a 'round-the-way girl, and keep on bailin'
And if you're stuck with one of them stuck-up ducks
Huh, don't press your luck
'Cause she'll leave you for what she enjoys
It ain't a man, it's a straight-up cake boy!

Yeah.
Cake boy.

Don't lose your girl to one.
