Y’all know YN loves the kids samples. Here two well-respected record collectin’ beat diggers put you up on the biggest breaks that they’ve heard thus far. Ain’t mad at “Impeach The President” at numero uno. Oops, spoiler alert. Ha. Study your lessons at the link below.
Sidebar: Ivan adds on.
Charles Hamilton is the KING of samples straight up
Y’all know…not now
Quickest edit ever, YN. Lol
@AJB4, for real? CH is dope but…. Kanye’s sampling >>>>>>
off-topic: Eminem’s got two records in the Top 5… #1: Not Afraid & #5: Airplanes Pt. 2 w/ BoB & hayley williams
recovery june 22nd
that’s why they call me slim shady…i’m back, i’m back….
I agree that impeach the president is #1… That drum break has to be the most used sample in hip hop history..
Lebron deserves all that criticism for how he played/acted in game 5.
We need the downloadable version STAT
Kanye is definitely tha KING of samples!!! NO ONE is fuckin with him, period. Bold statement, I know, but I can live with that. 🙂
Glad they included ‘Mind Power” but the “Funky drummer” omission is blatant.
Wait a minute, Bob James – “Nautilus” is not on this list. This list is dead to me.
We need a commission to approve some of these moves YN!
Also, where is the “Long Red” sample ? SMH
Can anyone tell me why they tried to diss Muro from Japan, somebody that put in way more work into this than they did and on the flipside, why they bragged in Wax poetics how they used to steal records from libraries?
Whats respectable about that? All i see is some two hatin ass dudes who cant take it if someone like Muro is better than them.
Fail.
ha….ivan murked these faggots
this is the first time i made a comment on a blog. this list is horrible and yes ivan did kill them. you can’t pick your personal favorites. you have to pick the ones that “hiphop as a whole” have used the most. the problem is that there is a generation of young people that look at this as law. you are doing them a disservice.
yall swingin on ivans nuts.. why would ivan think top billin should be on this list, when impeach the pres is #1 on this list… that is top billin fool…what you think top billins drums are ?
david bowie, fame ? are you kidding.. how many times was that used…so suspect, cmon son.
fools on here yapping about shit, where were yall in 1990-2000 ? in diapers, looking on the back of records for sample clearance info… fuck outta here. you still dont know 1/2 the sources on the on track series.
papology.. with all that hate you posting up, sounds like you a jealous toy, wishing you did something besides being an internet critic , whered you ever read muro got dissed by k&a ??
they coll with eachother, dumb ass.
to say this list is horrible, is quite a stretch. all the ubb related breaks should be a given, unless your a new jack.
its all subjective. not any one of yall could make a list that would please the public, its impossible. build a bridge and get the fuck over it.
I always liked the horn sample in “They Reminisce Over You” by Pete Rock & CL Smooth.
