Top 10 Samples in Hip-Hop History - Part 7

[@cdouble34]

Funktuall, I'm so glad you point out that Angie B from Sequence is Angie Stone. I remember when I moved from western New York (Rochester) to South Carolina (drugged there, not my choice) and I heard Sequence, the female version of The Sugar Hill Gang. You, my friend, are a hip hop historian. Mad respect to you.

[@friendlyperson3242]

I never comment but, you deserve praise. I have always played the original versions for my children especially when they say"I'm hating" on their music. Leon Haywood's "I wanna do something freaky with you" original shut them up for good. Keep up the good work!

[@thescallywagwhisperer]

This is way too dope

[@Wakkowolf]

I don't know HOW many times I've heard the bells from "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" before I knew that it was from that song.

[@Pomeray8]

Thanks for giving a greater exposure to the great songs that people have sampled from. The more I get into hip-hop, the more I like to look up the tracks the samples came from on KZbin. Hip-hop has helped me to get into so much more music, and you're a great resource for that. It's nice to be able to hear the songs the samples are from, and get some great back story.

[@dawb86]

You're the man for that Freestyle Fellowship shoutout. Hope u bought the "This Is the Life" DVD.

[@missaj12334]

Total Devastation sampled Billy Brooks too for "Many Clouds of Smoke"

[@cptdekker]

Brother, it´so much fun to watch you go off on these classic tunes. my whole life is influenced by 99% of what u play in this "strangley familiar" room...I recognize myself playin samples and their orignals 2 my friends and go crazy jus like u,man. u bring back a loooootta memories,man! One Love from germany.... YEAH,You got props ova heeeeere! Ronsta One

[@jay9718]

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but the Angie B sample is also sampled by Tom Green's 90s hip hop group Organized Rhyme in the track "Check the O.R" ....love it!!!

[@paultag45]

I enjoyed the series of videos. your love for the music is infections and is 90% of the reason these turned out so well. Great Job!!

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Thnaks a lot! I was waiting for somebody to say that! Hope people aren't sleeping on these guys.

[@bigcharleslee54]

[@JohnBoyBeattie]

I love how much you love the music haha. Videos are brilliant. Leads on to classics before my time 😃

[@ConjahOne]

[@AfroScentRicHaven]

Jerry ButLer ls BLUES baby! Great catch...l knew of that one for some years now....great work!

[@jjmobley2]

This is hot! I want my son to listen to all of your videos. He wants to get into the music industry and I keep telling him they are taking old music and making it relevant for today. Good job!

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

You can get it by depositing $20 into my PAYPAL account! Just hit SEND MONEY to funktual@comcast(dot)net!

[@DJIronMike1981]

Crazy!!! Mechanical Man was truly meant for you my friend... You proved my point with no disapointment! I was gonna hold out on the new memory card, but I might just make a video in the morning before I head to work... Keep it up man...

[@DanEitch]

ahh track 8 makes me so soooo happpy!! i'm excited to sport your shirt!

[@danoi99]

@funktuall I found you 2 days ago and have been watching your vids in the hope of re-discovering some stuff I lost 20 years ago eg.Ashleys Roach clip, Seven minutes of Funk, Think about it by Lynn Collins and more !! I can't thank you enough for all your hard work, If I lived in the U.S I would pop over with at least a pound and a half of Kush for you !!! You ever come to the UK, you have free accommodation, food and a driver/spliff roller for you stay, including airport pick up and drop off !!

[@MDL.720]

By the way you had me in tears when that Method Man sample dropped. You are insane dude, a legend but insane.

[@slickdog78]

Dude, you are a fuckin' nut, I love it...So much energy and passion, keep it up...

[@rgupta90]

5:39-5:48 makes my life. I think I watched that part like 20 times HAHAHA you are the GREATEST!!!

[@mrtomek]

Great mix mate. Instant subcriber! All your missin is abit of Sly Johnson, unless youve done him already? You Know, "I Hate, I Walked Away" or "Is It Because I'm Back" you know from that cypress hill interlude.

[@samuelhardy1448]

These videos are my sole reason for purchasing a record player so i can listen to all my pops vinyls he has boxed up

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

That is so great to hear.

[@HeavyJ713]

+DJ Funktual u should do a jdilla samples video bro

[@LeatherCladVegan]

I really, really want you to finish the Paul's Boutique sample video series. It's killin' me, man. I know a lot of the sampled songs, but fuck it, it's just so much more fun watching and listening to you lay it all out. You really know your stuff, and I'm not kissing ass, I just really want you to keep going on the P.B.'s sample video series. Come on man, you know you wanna. Do it!

[@fantasyguru26]

Thank you for that Jerry Butler sample. Mind blowin'

[@dillman4200]

happiestman in the world right here i love your videos i have watched all of them up to here so far

[@bboyspaz]

I can't get enough of this man. Keep it up!!

[@MadAtSkully]

Genius...Pure and simple! How do we get you you're own show!

[@Krooz909R]

YOU LOOK SO HAPPY .LOVE IT !

[@Pomeray8]

That Ahmad Jamal song was crazy! I am one of those jazz purists, too. --Been buying up a lot of it on vinyl, along with funk, lately. I'll be looking for some more Ahmad when I go digging next weekend. I love that ATCQ sample, too. Just bought their first album a couple weeks ago, and have The Low End Theory, and Midnight Marauders too. Essential hip-hop! Great jazz samples all over their releases.

[@LiquidDIO]

#5 is an interesting story. DJ Ski had actually originally put "Feelin' It" together for Camp Lo. However, Jay-Z heard it and pretty much jacked the beat by putting Ski on the spot. Since Ski recognized Jay was going places, he gave the beat up and the rest is history!

[@DJChaps]

that first classic you featured was also sampled by Tom Green's old rap duo Organized rhyme on Check the OR

[@bklynmike11]

Yo my man you took me way back. You taught me a lot. I will use these samples the next time I am deejaying a gig. Thanks a lot. You are gifted at what you do. Keep up the good work and continue educating the folks about good, clean, real music because the new music dey are putting out is garbage. DJ Goliath. One

[@sonep511]

funny thing about that Bob James... my dad has that album and the whole time i never listened to it.. when i get home i will be taking some of his stuff

[@gianca60]

It's a basket full of treasures! Thank you, man.

[@NWKBricks1]

As usual, another 5 star presentation.

[@ytmattae86]

Sample #2 was also used as the main loop in Organized Rhyme's "Check the O.R." Organized Rhyme was a little known Canadian rap group featuring Tom Green.

[@maskevito]

Man I alway love your energy because you know it's genuine! keep doing what you do

[@pknair1]

#2 was used in Organized Rhyme's "Check the O.R.", along with Kurtis Blow's "The Breaks". Good times!!!

[@STURAY70]

Great job as usual man, lookin' forward to more good stuff and the B-Boy anthems.

[@fassyman]

Another great video man! You need to present more Kool and the Gang samples and Gil Heron Scott (The Godfather of Rap)--in my opinion-- BIG UPS from Montreal, Canada

[@oni4883]

You know what really blows my mind is how someone can isolate just seconds of a song and make a great beat. Like with Meth's "Bring the Pain". It was literally 3 seconds out of that entire song and it was made into an all-time classic. Amazing

[@shamarone]

the billy brooks 40 days is used on tribe called quest's 1st joint, "peoples instinctive travels" album. titled "lucky lucien".

[@djcoolcliff]

Man i love what your doing bra! You keeping it alive and I love spinning this classics! Please if you haven't already rain Dance by Jeff Lorber and Fusion

[@J0N_]

Thank you for dealing with the you tube bs.

[@TheConqueror09]

[@martbee805]

What kind of camera/mic are you using? I'm trying to record my video response and sound quality isn't near as good as yours.

[@donnie41970]

[@woodscfc1]

[@yannsamples]

Your text comments on the video is a great idea ! Keep it up ! Peace my friend !

[@thirteenfingers]

6:53 to 7:20 Has that been sampled for something? It sounds REAL familiar... something about it reminded me of the melody in Just a Friend by Biz Markie but it's CLEARLY not that.

[@daryl2280]

yo man dat was nice how your equipment is capable of puttin remixes on Before I let go haha i need to own one of those so i can jam like that

[@Charactereyes]

just the 'bob james' sound reminds me of the theme to taxi, angela. i love nautilus too, that's been sampled a few times :)

[@marlon661]

lol at the bob james bit. so true..... that grove is funky then like WHAT?!?!??!! lol

[@CP9712]

Funk You Up - The Sequence was also sampled by Tom Green in the song Check The O.R.

[@MDL.720]

Wasn't the last sample was used in Eric B. & Rakim - Eric B. for President? Reminds me of that track anyway.

[@xaviermikk10]

Dude you re a freaking living music library!!

[@BrandNewToYou]

[@biggerchris20]

ooooh that Method Man joint was crazy!!!!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!

[@Skim58rag]

saved to faves. Good shit bro keep it movin...

[@Aidiera]

First off these videos are great and you're a true hero. Second, it sounds like Bruno Mars was a little bit inspired by the Funk You Up song in Uptown Funk.

[@davidholmes2283]

Uptown funk reminded me of Chain Reaction - Dance freak.

[@rushjackson]

Are you a DJ? You know a lot about samples/music. I'm here in the NYC and just lovin' some of the music. But the classic stuff never dies!

[@flamshiz]

this is a great one, just like the others keep up the good work

[@jenniferanne4143]

When I first heard Grandmixer DST 'Mean Machine' I loved it, later I found out that it was a remake of the song by The Last Poets, and that both versions are sung/rapped by Jala Nuriddin the leader of the Last Poets. Funny story how I found this out, I was hitchhiking in my hood in Detroit, and an older black truck driver picked me up, and he was listening to the Last Poets, when Mean Machine came on it blew me away, because I thought it was a Grandmixer DST original, lol, so cool, and I only needed a ride about 5-6 miles, weird coincidence that he was listening to that obscure jam that seemed like I was the only person I knew that even knew it... Lol..

[@jenniferanne4143]

.... And no, nothing kinky went down, but he did smoke a joint with me, lol...

[@BluLola]

this is like a sample encyclopedia. it's the ish!

[@bajanruffneck999]

[@directsound]

[@TruPoetz]

[@BuzzBoyBeatsTV]

#5 JAMAL is one of the greatest true musicians, so under appreciated. That whole record, Jamal Plays Jamal, is filled with samples. But more than that, a great record in its own right.

[@StudioGuyMN]

Every video is a party!

[@SkullFaceNinja]

[@DeMoeAurelius]

Funk You Up also used WC and the Maad Circles Aint a damn Thang Changed Aint Nothing Wrong also was used by 2nd II None

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Really? That song is tight! This reminds more of like Partridge Family stuff. The horny intro...I think I imagined that it came from a gameshow like Match Game. That theme was pimpin'!

[@directsound]
