Those Moments Where You Discover The Source of Samples

[Meatplow]

Now about a week ago the intro track to Power in Numbers "This Is" was bugging me a bit, by chance I was watching an obscure sadomasochistic pornography film from Japan called Tokyo Decadence and it would appear that it's theme is the source of this sample.

Then I wondered if it traced back any earlier and through imdb I traced back to - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJDqzJ8wLqk

What are some moments you found some cool samples used in hip-hop songs and traced it back to it's original source by pure accident? I always find these kind of moments awesome. Youtube links if you can help it.

yeah, it's def cool when this happens... i never note it though, the forgetful douche i tend to be...

i'm gonna start taking notes now. people should really know where these beats are coming from.

at work they always play the song that tupac's changes samples.

also I remember hearing songs that were sampled in california love and big poppa on the soul radio station in gta san andreas. i guess that was their way of including post-1992 rap classics.

Food for thought.

A few months ago, I discovered that the chorus from Let Me Ride by Dr. Dre is from the Parliament song Mothership Connection.

[LostChild]

I found out a couple of weeks ago that Things Done Changed by Biggie has a vocal sample from some douchebag Dr. Dre song

I love when hip-hop songs sample other hip-hop songs, like how Big Pun sampled Biggie's "lyrically I'm supposed to represent" in Super Lyrical

I just put on Jadakiss - Why (which I hadn't listened to before) and I figured out where one of the samples in Donuts - Stop!, to be precise - came from........and I jizzed...in...my pants.

Afterwards I cleaned up and posted in this thread

[Apocalyptic Raids]

i'd never considered that. come to think of it, that sounds pretty accurate.

[Meatplow]

Amen Break lol

[niobium]

quasimoto's boom music samples diamond d's a day in the life

[horseypie]

hearing harvey birdman quotes on dangerdooms album made me laugh

[Iai]

The one I remember is when I first heard Superfly, and "Pusherman" came on. Took me three weeks to figure out where I knew it from (it's "I'm Shady" by Eminem).

[illmitch]

It'd be hilarious if Birdman sampled Birdman

Same, 'The Edge' is beautiful.

[jdogsnoop]

Does anyone recognize the chorus sample in Jeru the Damaja's "Aint the Devil Happy"? I swear its from a GZA or Wu-Tang track but i can't find it. Its killin me.

[illmitch]

it sounds like RZA laughing, i think it might be from 1-800-Suicide, i'll check

edit: nope, i can't pin it down, but i do think it's from Gravediggaz

[Dave de Sylvia]

Wikipedia says:

"Ain't the Devil Happy"

* "Tearz" by Wu-Tang Clan (vocals by RZA)
* "Our Road" by Lee Oskar
* "What Am I Smoking?" by Redd Foxx

[jdogsnoop]

Ah it is from RZA's verse in Tearz "Cause i dropped him ha hahahahahaha" i can finally rest haha.

[illmitch]

yeahhhhh i knew that verse, but i couldn't remember where it was from, the cadence just totally sounds like that gravediggaz song

[niobium]

lee oskar is the ****
