Open a nice bottle of Merlot, sit back, and enjoy these great and diverse samples. It still amazes me how deep these Hip-Hop producers search for their "Diamond's in the rough" searching high and low through dusty record stores to find that perfect beat.

This playlist starts off with Hip-Hop's biggest and best posse, The Wu-tang Clan as they sample The Charmels. From there Styles P samples Freda Payne and The great Dr. Dre samples the jazzy David McCallum.

Nas proclaims "Hip-Hop is Dead" as he samples The Incredible Bongo Band. Then We have: ATCQ sampling a rare version of the song "Red Clay." The Beastie Boys always do their thing, The Fugees found some smooth Enya and Erick B. and Rakim borrow from James Brown's buddy Bobby Byrd.

As you can tell, I really got into this type of "musicology." This is what tore me away from House Music during the 90's.

I hope you Enjoy the Music as much as I do!

This series has been a blast to create! I probably need another web page just to do these Hip-Hop sample playlists. There is so much good music to play with.

JS#2, starts of with, AZ an artist that never really got his just due as a rapper. This tune "Sugar Hill" was probably his biggest hit. I remember the original "Sugar Free" by Juicy in the mid 80's. "Tears" by the great underground posse, The Wu Tang Klan was on their classic debut. Wendy Rene sang her heart out on "After the Laughter" in the 60's not knowing she would "meet up with the Wu" one day. Up next are smash cuts by Digable Planets, Common and Biggie and their original counter parts.

My favorite sample on this mix is by A Tribe Called Quest's "Luck of Lucian" the sample of Billy Brooks' 40 Days is just "Sick!"

You can learn so much diggin through your parents old records. Thanx Mom!

Enjoy!

Every once and a while I dig through the crates and make jazz cd's and hip-hop cd's as well. In this series "Joe Sample" I merge both genres and search for original music that hip-hop artist used for their samples. There are 9 of my favorite hip-hop joints by: Camp Lo, Tribe, Black Moon, Raashan Ahmad, Kanye, Jigga, MC 8, Nas and Lord Tariq.

Accompanied by the originals by: Dynasty, Minnie Riperton, Ronnie Laws, Jon Lucian, Shirley Bassey, David Ruffin, Tyrone Davis, Bob James and Steely Dan.

You will surely enjoy these songs...
