DAMN you folks are quick. How many of these songs actually sound good enough to rock in your car?

i also forgot about the group raw fusion.they did an album after digital underground broke up.

song:do your homework
sample:i wanna be your lover.

i remember a lot of the above mentioned ones too..and there are some that i didn't know about either.

they sampled the beginning and the guitar part of the song and slowed it down a bit.

Insane Clown Posse sampled Prince, but I can't remember which song it is...I'll have to look it up.

Really!? Where?

That scream from "The Max" is sampled on "Macarena".
But I don't blame anyone for blocking that out of their minds.

avatarfunk said:

money b is the man...

had to be said. he gave me the mic during kiss me & i'll kiss u back (& i fucked it up)

also - i think boni boyer is his cousin - she sings backup on that song.

MrSquiggle said:

this is a shot in the dark but it may actually be Act of Contrition, the guitar part.

but honestly i don't remember what bob george sounds like right now.

jonty1975 said:

not local to me, im from australia

i love smooth momentum and let it rip

I cannot believe yall 4got:

"What's Ya Phone #??" - 2Pac
sample from 777-9311
how could yall 4get that?


Would U Die 4 Me - Biggie, Lil Kim, Puffy
- Kiss


I Am Music - Timbaland, Ginuwine, Aaliyah
- The Beautiful Ones drum patterns used throught.

Whazupwitu - Eddie Murphy & Michael Jackson

uses Princes scream from "Thieves In The Temple" in the beginning


how many of yall knew that one?

Didn't the group Ween cover a couple of Prince songs? I think they did Shockadelica and something else.

song never really blew up, but 2pac also sample Pop Life on the appropriately titled "Pac's Life" worth a listen IMHO.

Veego said:

I woulda never put that together for my life!

starkitty said:

Not "Gett Off" but the remix called "Gangsta Glam" sounds alot like those songs in the bass line.

Also no one ever mentions Beyounce in Jay-Z's "Bonnie and Clyde". She simply recites a deal of the actual lyrics from "If I Was Your Girl"
