If so, who and what songs?

Pdiddy sampled erotic city in one of his recent songs.

M.C. Hammer sampled "When Doves Cry" many, many years ago on "Pray."

Tupac sampled "Darling Nikki."

I'm sure there's been TONS of Prince being sampled out there.

Ooh, on what song did Tupac sample Darling Nikki?

I believe it was "heartz of men"


He also sampled Pop Life with "Pac's life". Do me, baby w "To live and die in L.A". If I was ur girlfriend w "Thugs get lonely too".

He also sampled The Time's Get it up w/ "Is it cool to fuck"

Tupac sampled "If I Was Your Girlfriend", but I don't remember the name of the song or if it was even released. I was in the studio he recorded it in and heard the master tape.

Any Tupac fan know about that one? I'd love to hear it again!

"Thugs get lonely too" was released on the "Loyal to the game" album

Public Enemy's album "Fear of a Black Planet" has at least 2 Prince samples; one is from "Let's Go Crazy" and I don't remember the other.

Snoop Dogg has sampled the Time (which is basically Prince); "Gigolos Get Lonely Too."

Prince has sampled himself on the Ingrid Chavez CD.

Thanks for all the feedback.

"Bob...let me see you dance." (from Bob George)

This is sampled somewhere on the Milli Vanilli remix album. I'm not sure one should endure listening to the whole thing to find it, though.

Oh shi... I didn't know there was that many. When is Kanye going to sample him yet?
