Title says it all. Inspired by a post in the Library Music thread from @GauchoAmigo. Please also name or link the track that samples it, for context.

I'll start.

Sampled by DJ Muggs(i assume?) for Cypress Hill - Illusions

keep forgettin' we're not in love - michael mcdonald. it's sampled in regulators by warren g, which is a great song, but nothing stacks up to mike mcd

I prefer Bootsy Collin's I'd rather be with you butttttttt... I like Eazy E cover of I'd rather be fucking you. Such a classy baby making song.

This is my favourite version of this song, and it's been sampled pretty heavily.

... and here's my favourite use of the sample, pretty sure Rashad used those chords on a few other tracks too but i can't recall which rn

By a fucking landslide. The obvious being Eminem, and that shit sucks. The less obvious being streets is still watching by Jay Z, which is good but not as good as the original.

yoooo yea this is a jam. Remember the first time i heard this and didn't know much about sampling, it blew my mind that Dre had just straight ripped the whole loop. I love when tracks build to a point then just completely switch to a different groove like this.

Sampled by two greats, de la soul and MF doom....but there's no fuckin with tha dan

Love what Kool G Rap does on this track. I heard the Kool G Rap version 20 years before the Billie Joel version. I’m not choosing sides. I would rather this thread be a brain storming off the top of the dome, who sampled.

Love the streets is watching joint...

hell yeah, RIP Rashad. got to see him play right before he died, life-changing.

used in a lot of things but most famously obviously Big Poppa.

the original is gorgeous and supreme!

This is an excellent track:

But THIS is one of my favourite pieces of music ever recorded:

There's no denying that this is a slapper

But there's also no denying that this slaps harder!

Didn't sample this but I'll be damned if he wasn't "influenced" by it

keepthefunkalive · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2021, 05:50:28 PM »

Both tracks are classics to me, but the original is just so damn good.

Shit's so funky I got pregnant listening to that.

more steely dan and doom love. Gas drawls is a genius flip,gives me chills, but you gotta have the original to havethe remix yanno.

only doom could take the least melodic part of the song and make it just so fucking perfect RIP

GauchoAmigo · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2021, 07:44:22 PM »

errbody know this jam

whole album is so good, his other soundtrack album "truck turner" as well

keepthefunkalive · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2021, 03:23:24 PM »

Was going through the record collection today to find something to clean to. Threw this on for the first time in a while... "boy was it neat, yeah"

Of course this is still a jam but not 15 min of flame emojis

Freelancevagrant · « **Reply #24 on:** February 09, 2021, 10:36:59 AM »

This one is a tie but deserves recognition.

The sampled:

The original:

biggerdave · « **Reply #25 on:** February 12, 2021, 09:44:28 AM »

I don't know if this counts as "famously sampled" but when i heard the original, it got me pretty jazzed. Both tracks are flames regardless

Eric Dolphy · « **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2021, 11:33:31 AM »

^^ Yup, great find.

Here's a sample that's also maybe not so famous, but been used heaps. I play the Alias track below a bunch and I've had a few people come up asking about it, thinking it's sampling Soho, not realising Soho and Alias are both sampling Wynton Marsalis

Fuck both the original and the song using the sample are too good, can't choose between em.

Although Kodak Black used it too and I easily prefer the original over that track.

nicotinewheel · « **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2021, 06:43:46 AM »

love this thread

I may not strictly prefer this to 'ready or not' but it definitely stands on its own:

same vein, 'dear mama' is great but the original takes me the same kind of places w/out lyrics:

matty_c · « **Reply #29 on:** March 03, 2021, 02:13:46 AM »

I love that geto boys song, Guacho
Sick to see the original

This is a cover not a sample but to me anyway its a heavy one. I mean really good when I say that
It’s certainly not heavy metal

Edit
I fucked up I meant like the opposite of this thread I like the cover more
My bad
