It's not 100% accurate. The first mistake I noticed is that "He's Mine" from MoKenStef is not listed. It uses "Do Me Baby" as it's basis.

That's not a mistake, that's an omission.

No wonder it became a smash single!!! smile

We all know how much Gwen loves P!

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

She didn't. Nor did "Manic Monday" sample "1999"...

There R indeed errors...

Some of them R recreations, not samples.

Alicia Keys' "You'll Never See Me Again" recreates the melody near the end of "Purple Rain", but it's not sampled.

I found others as well.

Most samples are easy to recognize but one surprise was Bone Thugs N Harmony. I missed that one.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

I probably put it there. I was a moderator on WhoSampled for around 3 months when it initially launched and I tried to add as many samples of Prince as I could.

Huh? manic monday samples 1999?

Until the end of time samples Rasberry beret?

using the same drum pattern doesn't mean a song is sampled
