20 Great Sampled Hip-Hop Songs

[TheCount]

I know some of you guys hate Hip-Hop, but even if so, they have the original samples which you may find more to your liking.

Some really great original songs in here, very few of the "remakes" can touch the original but for all the people that complain hip-hop is just noise, you can see that some people in the industry really are students of music.

As a bonus, you can check out Labi Siffre's "I Got The Blues" (one of my favorite songs ever), about half way the song breaks down and you get a second sample which was used for "Hi, My Name Is" by Eminem while the earlier part of the song was used for Streets is Watching by Jay Z.

Enjoy.

Just a sample and only in the start of the song if I remember correctly but I always liked PE sample of Queen's Flash song in the Terminator X song.

Warren G ft. Nate Dogg – Regulate

I love that song!

Also worthy of mention is OutKast - The Way You Move, which samples the Earth, Wind and Fire song of the same name.

Didn't look at the list but MC Hammer's songs probably make up at least 1/3 of the list :laugh2: .

No it proves that rappers/deejays have been doing this since the beginning of the genre and that is why it stands out from your other so-called "real musicians". Learn something about the history of the genre instead of making silly, old grandpa statments like this.
