90s rappers grew up in the 70s. That was the music they heard their parents listening too. Snoop said G Funk was created vuz his mom listened to a lot of funk albums in the 70s, so he ended up liking 70s funk as he got older
DJ Premier really is a genius. Most producers just mess with the speed of the record or loop certain parts, but he transforms whatever he samples into a brand new thing.
Exactly because it had more soul to it and more of a message now it's just drugs, guns and killing. It's an ultra violent over sexualized and over sampled dog crap. It's beyond gansta rap it's gansta lifestyle with here today and a long stint in the Pen mentality.
You gotta put in context. 80s rappers and producers were like 16-20 years old with a brand new Akai sampler … what u gonna sample? You’re parents record collection! They grew up hearing the breaks when their parents had house parties. The got to choose the crème de La crème of breaks from all those classic Motown and jazz tunes! What a time to be alive! I still hunt don’t stuff like this. Thanks for compiling this list! The real skill is what they managed to create with 1mb of space and a record player. Artists like JDilla made a name for themselves by NOT sticking to the 16 bar pattern and making this stuff sound lazy!! Here we are 20-30 years later still appreciating their output and it’s a million times better than mumble rap. PLUR!!!
I used to criticize sampling as ripping off and being unoriginal But the older I get, the more I see hip hop beats as a code you can crack over time. I’ll hear a 70’s track and recognize 3 parts from 3 different hip hop artists. It’s actually genius piecing a beat together using 3-6 different songs and it not being noticeable right away
Had that happen when I listened to x clan. Definitely wasn't expecting to hear something that ICP had sampled from them. Want to say I heard some eminem and Snoop also.
Its both of the things you said. Its ripping off the artist who wrote the music, and its genius to be able to create a solid original track from other people's music, especially to the degree that people can't recognize it right away. That is also unoriginal in a sense... because you are using someone else's music as the starting point, so that is not completely original, even if you create a new original sound from it.
Sampling is nothing special lol. It's way harder to come up with actual new tunes. These "producers" just rip em off and add some beats on top and call it a day.
@ depends on the sampling of the song bro. someone like mike dean with kanye can completely tranform and utilize a sample, while an average trap or drill song might just have a straight cut sample with reused drums over it.....

From Jazz, to Rock, to Dance. It bred and inspired all the artists from the 80s who just had all the inspiration and new technology to make electrical music. 70s were awesome for music.
Rock Metal Punk Country Disco Reggae Lounge Hiphop All either kicked off or blew up massively in the 70s. Definitely my favourite decade for music. Love all genres from that decade.
Gang starrs samples are so awesome. Its always the smallest little moment in a song and they turn it into their entire song. In take two and pass the part in the song they sample for the beat is like 1 second long and never happens at any other point in the song its wild
Sure, but it would be nice if people actually liked jazz and supported the art form. You know, go to concerts and support artist. Instead people just rip the tracks off these classic album and lay claim to original music that we created by people who paid their dues. I was talking to a young friend of mine... he didn't even know who George Benson was, much less Wes Montgomery.
I don't know how anyone could say that sampling isn't art. I'm sorry but not everyone had parents who could buy them a drum set and a stratocaster. Without money you improvised, and one way to do it was to take your parents old records, put them on two turntables and see what you could mix up. It's absolutely amazing what these 90's DJs were able to do.
Sampling disgusts me purely on principle. How am I supposed to respect buying another person's music, putting a banal and insignificant spin on it and then claim that as your own composition? That's treating music like a product to be bought and sold, not art. Even if the final result sounds good, the concept itself is revolting.
@@Designa10k You seem to misunderstand me. I have no qualms with a musician taking an already written melody and putting a unique spin on it (so long as the final result is good and not blatant copying). It's the business aspect of the whole thing that makes me vomit.
I'll never forget the first night I heard Mass Appeal early 94...it was hypnotizing. To this day some of the most unbelievable shit I've ever heard. Still rocking it in my house and ride almost 30 years later and will til I die

A lot of people don't understand the concept of sampling. It's not a easy thing to do. You have to really find that one piece in the three to five minute record and flip it.
I think it’s easier now, with computers. Much easier to chop out the part you like, and then do a drum replacement or something and tempo-sync it. In the 90’s it had to be crazy hard.
I realised Sampling can be more effective than making new music that perhaps already exists, sampling is like recycling music and fitting to the new time plus giving old artists credit

It’s almost like some of the original artists KNEW we were gonna need to phat beats to really lay the groundwork for hip hop and classic tracks. Great job on the video
Thank you! I had that They Reminisce Over You beat stuck in my head so bad but couldn’t remember what it was. One night when I was like 9 years old, I was up at like 2am listening to this independent radio station and I got up to change the station. Right when had my finger on the button the instrumental version of that song came on and it literally froze me in place. I just stood there totally transfixed and zoned out by this incredible haunting music. I’ll never forget that. Hip Hop has a magic to it. ✌🏻
Bro Premier had the illest flips, the amount of classics this man has produced is insane. DOOM has some of the most iconic productions of all time as well
Yes, and Dre’s « nuthin but a g thang » is also sampled from « For the love of you ». And talking about the isley brothers I have to mention « Between the sheets » that got sampled to make the big banger Big poppa
hearing the original song sampled in Sing About Me made me immediately recognize it it's my absolute favorite K Dot song and hip hop song in general, gives me the chills everytime i listen to it
When hip hop first came on the scene, they took alot of flack, being labeled as not real artists and so on. Little did these people in media who negatively criticized these artists understand how much of a student of music they really were. A lot of these original songs they sampled from, were either children themselves or not even born. They obviously had adults/older relatives in their lives that educated them on who these artists were. Shout out to all the hip hop artists out there that paid homage to the original artists by keeping their music alive. This samples list is even much more bigger then this video, multiple hours long documentary can be made on this subject alone. 🤔🤔
Musicians in the 70's were too profligate with their licks. They'd just throw a few seconds out there between things and hip-hop producers would take that and build a whole track out of it.
Rap music, soul music --that's my heart. I don't even get pissed when I hear white people say 'rap is crap.' I don't engage with culturally illiterate people. Not worth my time.
Big Daddy Kane - Young Gifted and Black We sample beats, you sue and try to fight us Man, you still be home with arthritis If we didn't revive em, bring back alive Old beats that we appreciated, you wouldn't survive You'd be another memory to us Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Wished the rappers and musicians had work something out that benefitted both. HipHop excelled because of the art of sampling.
Survival of the fittest Mobb Deep for me. I love all the other samples but when the Mobb come on, its epic. Peace to Prodigy, will be missed!!! Left us "Gems" though. Havoc on the beats, a beast!!!
Thanks for this! I'm someone who looks for the source of samples (using things like WhoSampled) and then add the original song to my library. There were some here I hadn't gotten yet
Yo that Gangstarr takes me back!!! RIP my cousin Hollywood, he put me on to Red Alert and i started my freestyling days right there on the basketball court. I remember the 1st time I put the headphones on at Sam Goody, and that grimey Mobbdeep beat for Survival kicked in..... I was hooked!!!! I played it for my mom and she vibed off it. The memories this brought back are priceless
I cannot believe there are so many hip-hop songs that I did not know had sampled/originated from these beats. I am part of the original hip-hop generation and I feel so embarrassed with myself. 😢😢 Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!
I think the reason behind not many doing it any more is it got expensive unless you don't go over 3 seconds of the original peice then you don't have to pay at least that's how it used to be.
Amazing rappers (especially old school ones) are amazing not only because of their amazing lyricism and storytelling, but their amazing production without such high-tech nowadays and amazing beat sample choices Shout out to gang starr and mobb deep! Their beats are really wonderful
It was fascinating to me back in the 80's when I was learning jazz music (Bass) my instructor Marcus gave me homework and make me listen to a lot of the original songs. When I heard them used in the 90's just a few years later with hip hop I recognized and knew the samples immediately. I called them out to my friends by artists and track. Whenever they would doubt me I'd bust out the record player and spin the record for them to hear side by side. I still love doing that to this day. Great video man. Some of the best content on UA-cam.
Great story and it’s so good to play the originals to someone who thought the hip hop producer made all the music themselves. Thanks for watching. I’ve made lots more sample videos on my channel if you’re interested.
That “Heather” sample was also on The Underachievers song “The Mahdi”, and “Forever is a long long time” after becoming “Boom” appeared on ScHoolboy Q’s “CrasH”. Great stuff!
Been trying to turn my homies on to the underachievers since i found evermore in college. Now their blowing up and old friends are coming at me showing me their new shit like I don’t already fucking know what’s up smdh
@@BrandonWillWin fr fr, both The Underachievers and Flatbush ZOMBiES are mad underrated. Ppl need to stop sleeping upon them That said, did they release anything new since “Almost Home” and “Tempus”? I haven’t heard of new UA stuff since 2018 I guess
@@freakelangelo I really just meant newer shit like with beast coast especially. I have a friend who was iffy on ua back in the day but fucks w beast coast now and he got embarrassed when I was like this is those dudes I tried to show you!! Lol
Beautiful video. The hip-hop renaissance or golden era when rappers had real wordplay skill and producers spent their lives crate digging for the perfect samples. Now it's all auto-tuned melodies with rappers who don't even rap and overly compressed electronic drum samples.
@@finn7750 There are still a handful of good rappers in the game. Kendrick is one of them. But none of them hold a candle to what was happening in the 90s rapping and production. That’s facts.
It's wild how there is perfectly produced amazing music and putting it in the sampler and the reduced bit depth and compression give it this whole other crisp sounding life as a completely new song.
And here's to my all-time favorite sample.... listen to the opening theme to the 1960 horror classic PYSCHO. Pay close attention to the string section. Now go listen to GIMME SOME MORE by Busta Rhymes. That sound was so hypnotic, the engineers basically looped it and made those 7 seconds the backbeat to the entire song!
I don't think anybody has caught it but that first note on the Soul Searchers sample was used by Master P as the main sample in hot boys and girls in 98
Thank you for the history lesson. It's unfortunate that so many of the sampled artists had to fight for their royalties, although not surprising, since many of them are not well-known nowadays.

There's so much good music represented here--the original cut and then the sampled cut--all quite fantastic in progression. I could get lost down this rabbit hole for a long long time.
2:47 Esther Phillips’ -“That’s all right with me” was also sampled on Jeru the Damaja’s track - “Whatever” Only one that caught me off guard lol as well as Kendrick’s track. Dope vid!
When I first got into Hip hop in the early 80s,my older brothers age gaps were 15yrs+ They had vinyls from Motown to Funk to Jazz to Reggae to RnB & disco. Whenever we played a hip hop song,they definitely knew a baseline or a sample in the song. Got educated pretty early. As I got older in the early 90s,after moving out & having my own collection,I would always read the back of the hip hop vinyls & find out who was being sampled. Sometimes my brother's had those records. Other times,I searched it myself in the record stores. Best thing about record stores was finding hidden gems that you weren't looking for in the first place. Made me appreciate the original tracks & albums,& also appreciate how great the hip hop track is because of it. Bigups on the upload🙌 Word up Uso Madd luv from New Zealand🙏

Yes, and Dre’s « nuthin but a g thang » is also sampled from « For the love of you ». And talking about the isley brothers I have to mention « Between the sheets » that got sampled to make the big banger Big poppa
@@jaydechose8046 swear the Isley Brothers created a lot of great music
This is how we chill from 93 til 😌
Rip MF doom his sampling always put me in a new dimension
I’ve made a recent MF DOOM sample video ua-cam.com/video/U4x1hf9IABE/v-deo.html
Love old music & Love Hip Hop forever. Who here misses old hip hop when sampling stuff like this ruled?
90s is my favourite era for hip hop. There’s still some amazing stuff in recent times if you look for it.
there’s still plenty of music using samples like this
@@reidshields7603 Sampling won't stop as long as people want to use other good music to make good music!
Still amazing how Madlib got that clip from Ironside. Deep cut
Him and DOOM probably got the craziest cuts. The guys be diggin up half a century old cartoons, tv shows, and sometimes radio shows for beats
@@ddl3718 my favorite thing that someone wrote once was “ Madlib has touched more vinyl than a dominatrix “ 😂😂
That “Shadowboxin” flip is so cold. One of my favorite tracks of all time. It was dope hearing where the sample came from. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for watching
💯
The craziest flips on here are Mobb Deep "Survival of the Fittest" and Gang Starr "Full Clip". Completely flipped from the original samples.
More ppl need to listen to Cortex the music they make is so beautiful ever before being sampled
I really like them. They have made some amazing music
Lupe fiasco sampled them on "mural"
@@Broomie63 and Curren$y did as well on his song "Mary"
hearing the original song sampled in Sing About Me made me immediately recognize it
it's my absolute favorite K Dot song and hip hop song in general, gives me the chills everytime i listen to it
Great track for sure. Thanks for watching.
Survival of the fittest still one of the hardest samples by far
For me it's "Trife Life"
Nujabes breaking down Yusef Lateef is legit mindblowing from the skill and ear. Rest in Power to both
That mass appeal sample is crazy
It’s a great one.
Man, you have no idea how listen to all this sample make me so HAPPY
Even Put Nujabes, damn bring me tears rn
Glad you enjoyed it
@@DJFurio Sincerely , thank you friend
0:53 was also used on visions by Wiz Khalifa
1:41 was also used on Around my way by Lupe Fiacso
2:17 was also used on forbidden fruit by J.Cole
4:06 is also used on Make Believe by Juice Wrld
5:03 Drake - Gods Plan
I believe 0:53 was also used in a Tyler, The Creator song
6:36 was also used on ScHoolboy Q - CrasH

When hip hop first came on the scene, they took alot of flack, being labeled as not real artists and so on. Little did these people in media who negatively criticized these artists understand how much of a student of music they really were. A lot of these original songs they sampled from, were either children themselves or not even born. They obviously had adults/older relatives in their lives that educated them on who these artists were. Shout out to all the hip hop artists out there that paid homage to the original artists by keeping their music alive. This samples list is even much more bigger then this video, multiple hours long documentary can be made on this subject alone. 🤔🤔
True words. Hearing the originals just makes me want to search for more of these 60 and 70s songs and discover the awesome music of that era.
Musicians in the 70's were too profligate with their licks. They'd just throw a few seconds out there between things and hip-hop producers would take that and build a whole track out of it.
Rap music, soul music --that's my heart. I don't even get pissed when I hear white people say 'rap is crap.' I don't engage with culturally illiterate people. Not worth my time.
@@hakanelmaci1348 Ikr? Truly an embarrassment of riches...gold in every riff.
Big Daddy Kane - Young Gifted and Black
We sample beats, you sue and try to fight us
Man, you still be home with arthritis
If we didn't revive em, bring back alive
Old beats that we appreciated, you wouldn't survive
You'd be another memory to us
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Wished the rappers and musicians had work something out that benefitted both.
HipHop excelled because of the art of sampling.
I wasn’t expecting Feather by Nujabes! That’s such a beautiful song
Survival of the fittest Mobb Deep for me. I love all the other samples but when the Mobb come on, its epic. Peace to Prodigy, will be missed!!! Left us "Gems" though. Havoc on the beats, a beast!!!
You should see the samples havoc used to create the beat for shook ones. Really amazing
No doubt, it's my top favorite beat of all time. Has such an atmosphere to it.
Thanks for this! I'm someone who looks for the source of samples (using things like WhoSampled) and then add the original song to my library. There were some here I hadn't gotten yet
Glad I could help out
Brought warmth to my heart to see my favorite producer Nujabes on this vid
Thanks for watching
Gang Starr has seriously the best sampled beats i’ve ever heard. The sample always perfectly matches the groove of the song. so good.
👍
1:41 was also used in the Lupe Fiasco song Around My Way which is very good!
That’s where I know it from! Freedom ain’t free from round my way!
A lot of those Cortex samples were used in Tyler the Creators Bastard album.
Yeah I recognized the one in odd toddlers
Harvest moon from suicide boys and lil yachty on cortex
Yo that Gangstarr takes me back!!! RIP my cousin Hollywood, he put me on to Red Alert and i started my freestyling days right there on the basketball court. I remember the 1st time I put the headphones on at Sam Goody, and that grimey Mobbdeep beat for Survival kicked in..... I was hooked!!!! I played it for my mom and she vibed off it. The memories this brought back are priceless
👍
Bro Madlib was a genius, using TWO separate samples from the same TV shows opening!
He’s an amazing producer
Thinking outside the box
It s a pretty common thing actually
Is*
3:34 I was 100% sure Apollo Brown and Ras Kass would turn up. Had no idea that RZA sampled this for Liquid Swords 🤯
Yeah it’s a nice sample
Same here man, I scrolled down to see if anyone else thought this haha
@@__cal29 o9oooo
ooo
When I played Leon Haywood's record from my collection for my nephew he almost fainted, he just knew Dr. Dre created that opening beat.
I love schooling people with the original tracks
2:18 was also sampled by forbidden fruit by jcole
There should of been a spot for "Impeach the President" and then all like 300+ songs that sampled it.
Yeah it’s been used so many times. Mainly the drums so a video might not be that exciting to watch
I needed this today! We had the GREATEST era of hip hop without a doubt!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching
I cannot believe there are so many hip-hop songs that I did not know had sampled/originated from these beats. I am part of the original hip-hop generation and I feel so embarrassed with myself. 😢😢 Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge!
Appreciate you watching. Check my other videos on my channel. I’ve made a lot that you might like.
Really makes you realize the artistry that most people have forgotten. Such a shame
I think the reason behind not many doing it any more is it got expensive unless you don't go over 3 seconds of the original peice then you don't have to pay at least that's how it used to be.
Thanks for this
Thanks for watching
Amazing rappers (especially old school ones) are amazing not only because of their amazing lyricism and storytelling, but their amazing production without such high-tech nowadays and amazing beat sample choices
Shout out to gang starr and mobb deep! Their beats are really wonderful
Great comment and you just listed 2 of my all time favourite hip hop groups
The 70s was the best time for everything. I hate that I missed it!!!
It was fascinating to me back in the 80's when I was learning jazz music (Bass) my instructor Marcus gave me homework and make me listen to a lot of the original songs. When I heard them used in the 90's just a few years later with hip hop I recognized and knew the samples immediately. I called them out to my friends by artists and track. Whenever they would doubt me I'd bust out the record player and spin the record for them to hear side by side. I still love doing that to this day. Great video man. Some of the best content on UA-cam.
Great story and it’s so good to play the originals to someone who thought the hip hop producer made all the music themselves. Thanks for watching. I’ve made lots more sample videos on my channel if you’re interested.
4:07 was also used in Juice WRLD’s Make Believe
Crazy how a lot of these samples are used in modern hip-hop
Yep. It’s also interesting which track people will name depending on their age.
Modern hip hop unfortunately don’t exist.
It does if you search for the right producers.
All of these tracks are legendary
That Billy Cobman - Heather, to 93 till is an amazing flip
That “Heather” sample was also on The Underachievers song “The Mahdi”, and “Forever is a long long time” after becoming “Boom” appeared on ScHoolboy Q’s “CrasH”. Great stuff!
Been trying to turn my homies on to the underachievers since i found evermore in college. Now their blowing up and old friends are coming at me showing me their new shit like I don’t already fucking know what’s up smdh
@@BrandonWillWin fr fr, both The Underachievers and Flatbush ZOMBiES are mad underrated. Ppl need to stop sleeping upon them
That said, did they release anything new since “Almost Home” and “Tempus”? I haven’t heard of new UA stuff since 2018 I guess
@@freakelangelo I really just meant newer shit like with beast coast especially. I have a friend who was iffy on ua back in the day but fucks w beast coast now and he got embarrassed when I was like this is those dudes I tried to show you!! Lol
This is just so dope!!! How can you not love hip hop?!
Mad respect to you for not only compiling all of this for us, but also including the late great Nujabes. ❤
ua-cam.com/video/ERlaMc_2O8U/v-deo.html I made a Nujabes sample video
Rip :(
Beautiful video. The hip-hop renaissance or golden era when rappers had real wordplay skill and producers spent their lives crate digging for the perfect samples. Now it's all auto-tuned melodies with rappers who don't even rap and overly compressed electronic drum samples.
Kendrick literally just dropped and you act like there isn't a single good rapper left
@@finn7750 I respect Kendrick as an artist but he's boring by now. His best works are already 10 years old
@@finn7750 There are still a handful of good rappers in the game. Kendrick is one of them. But none of them hold a candle to what was happening in the 90s rapping and production. That’s facts.
There’s tons of great hip hop today even in a more 90s esque style
So much shitty rap in the 90s too though. You are just cherry picking looking back
It's wild how there is perfectly produced amazing music and putting it in the sampler and the reduced bit depth and compression give it this whole other crisp sounding life as a completely new song.
I was smiling the whole way through this video. I need to go back and listen to Mobb Deep. I have so many good memories from those years.
I’ve done a Mobb Deep sample video here ua-cam.com/video/P1BiOJpIJiY/v-deo.html
That Cortex album was sampled so much
It’s been used loads yeah
Tropeau bleu is awesome
Hearing Feather again brought back so many good memories. I always wondered what it sampled. Rest In Peace Nujabes.
That 93 till infinity flip blew my mind…
Great flip
And here's to my all-time favorite sample.... listen to the opening theme to the 1960 horror classic PYSCHO. Pay close attention to the string section. Now go listen to GIMME SOME MORE by Busta Rhymes. That sound was so hypnotic, the engineers basically looped it and made those 7 seconds the backbeat to the entire song!
Man I never knew most of these. So sick ty for posting.
Thanks for watching
That Ironside sample is so sick
I don't think anybody has caught it but that first note on the Soul Searchers sample was used by Master P as the main sample in hot boys and girls in 98
Love when these videos get recommended to me, these old school sample vids are the best man you just got a sub
Glad you like my videos and thanks for the sub 👍
Thank you for putting this together! Jazz and blues will forever be the foundation of hip-hop! This was a pleasure to listen to!
Thanks for watching and I’m glad that you enjoyed it
Thank you for the history lesson. It's unfortunate that so many of the sampled artists had to fight for their royalties, although not surprising, since many of them are not well-known nowadays.
Very true

1:25 there it is dude
i have a whole Spotify playlist based on this same idea started in back in highschool bring me lots of joy
90s Hip Hop had some of the best samples and songs.
This is awesome I’m into all music from rock to rap and the shit behind music like this is so interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
There's so much good music represented here--the original cut and then the sampled cut--all quite fantastic in progression. I could get lost down this rabbit hole for a long long time.
Glad you like it. I’ve made lots more sample videos on my channel if you’re interested
The transition between the sample of Ny state of mind and the actual song goes so hard
2:47 Esther Phillips’ -“That’s all right with me” was also sampled on Jeru the Damaja’s track - “Whatever”
Only one that caught me off guard lol as well as Kendrick’s track. Dope vid!
Yeah it’s been used a few times
When I first got into Hip hop in the early 80s,my older brothers age gaps were 15yrs+
They had vinyls from Motown to Funk to Jazz to Reggae to RnB & disco.
Whenever we played a hip hop song,they definitely knew a baseline or a sample in the song.
Got educated pretty early.
As I got older in the early 90s,after moving out & having my own collection,I would always read the back of the hip hop vinyls & find out who was being sampled.
Sometimes my brother's had those records.
Other times,I searched it myself in the record stores.
Best thing about record stores was finding hidden gems that you weren't looking for in the first place.
Made me appreciate the original tracks & albums,& also appreciate how great the hip hop track is because of it.
Bigups on the upload🙌
Word up Uso
Madd luv from New Zealand🙏
That’s a great story and very interesting. Thanks for watching.
So glad I recognized nearly all of them. A true art form that’s been lost
Hasn’t been lost at all actually
@@nbabackcourtmedia AT ALL
No it’s not lost, producers just make their own melodies or flip them to make them more diverse now, best example is drake’s producer 40
@@ddl3718 that part, 40 is just OP
@@ddl3718 considering good samples are rare these days thats why I commented my original comment, most beats are generic garbage made in 5 minutes in FL studio
