I think any hip hop song would sound tight with:

1. Chic "Strike Up the Band"
2. Bros Johnson "Strawberry Letter"
3. Madonna "Physical Attraction"
4. Prince "7"
5. Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait"

Has Grace Jones' 'Pull Up To The Bumper' ever been used?

I'll have to look the others up, but I can tell you right off that those two have been used. Yo Yo sampled Strawberry Letter 23 for one of the songs from her Black Pearl album and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis sampled the Nu Shooz tune for the Vanessa Williams tune, Happiness.

Not sure, but Patra did a really good remake of it.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Haha, someone else who remembers Patra I can't find that anywhere, nor 'Dip And Fall Back'.

Ellie said:

I love it. I think it's just as good as Grace Jones' version - so bad and so good in so many way. Her rap is hysterical.

Pull up to me bumper
Watch me in the theatre
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah center
If ya 'it the curb
then ya blah blah blah
Green light press the accelerator
When you see the red light
blah blah blah
blah blah blah
When you see the blah
Speed trap, don't pull over

Dip and Fall Back is another whole batch of badness!

badujunkie said:

I'm always open for suggestions.

I used (3) on one of my very first beats, and (2) on my album.

As for (5), I like Spyder-D's usage on "I Can't Wait (To Rock The Mike)".

alot of the jacksons stuff has been untouched...

Why gives these guys more great music to misuse, Freely I might add, at least do it to make your own samples.

Prince outtakes aren't used like they used to be.


Like "Big Tall Wall" could be easily reinterpreted:

Sadly, that illiterate fucker is the first thing that comes to mind when I sing Big Tall Wall to myself.

The bass guitar line and wah guitar from the old 70's game show "Match Game". Y'all may think I'm crazy but I heard it yesterday and somehow it's screaming to be lifted.

Serious?

CinisterCee said:

lol Why's it so hard to believe? Paul Wall, Tall Wall. Seems logical to me.

badujunkie said:

Love that song ,it would actually be a good sample.

Yes, Coolio's bad ass song called "ooh la la" is the shit and uses the full pull up to the bumper bassline, badd ass track!!!

i think grace jones is in the vid at the end too, or is it a lookalike,
well its a woman in a limo, thats all i know!


2. Bros Johnson "Strawberry Letter" , i think some people said Outkast used an interpolation on their song ms jackson but they said they didnt
i dont think either


3. Madonna "Physical Attraction" (definitely needs one)

5. Nu Shooz "I Can't Wait" (has been covered once or twice by some UK garage groups)

RipHer2Shreds said:

It is.

badujunkie said:

I know that there is a song on Beyonce's Dangerously in Love that samples or "interpolates" Strawberry Letter 23. I think it's "Me, Myself, and I".

...Gene Rayburn may be the only person in the history of TV to use that Sony ECM-51 telescopic microphone.

The opening synth line of "More" by The Sisters Of Mercy. I would love to hear that sample beneath a house track.

Madonna "Waiting"

that's a hip-hop sample right there.

Pull up to the bumper was used by "The Mean Machine" 1980 Sugarhill records.

hehe, well she used some drums that are often used in hip-hop. I always liked this song for that aspect.

Vanessa L. Williams sample THAT for her last career hit, Happiness (Produced be Jam/Lewis).
