Yeah, I love this song. I remember a few years ago, a local Bay Area station (KMEL) did a great segment playing several hip hop songs and their original inspirations back to back.
I just did a similar thread after finding the song that Mos Def sampled for "Brown Sugar." Maybe there should be an official thread for something like this (especially for the less main stream samples.) I'll start:

"Brown Sugar" Mos Def

"You Don't Know My Name" Alicia Keys

"My Name Is" Eminem

And this one's been redone and sampled a lot:
