Top 10 Samples in Hip-Hop History - Part 9

[@LiquidDIO]

This whole series deserves waaaaaay more attention, in my opinion!

[@mazerstar]

I can't remember that last time I actually appreciated a video on youtube. Well done sir!

[@danoi99]

Cant get over the sheer amount of knowledge !!! What a Legend !!!!

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

I'm glad you brought that up and encourage people to mention all samples outside of Hip-Hop. I do not listen to Massive Attack but DAMN, they sampled a lot of great tunes. I gotta get on them soon.

[@eduble]

You are one cool ass cat...You knowledge of the art of Music and Hip Hop is off the charts. Keep them coming

[@SarahJael7]

that Hossam Ramzy sample was so out there! thanks for doing these

[@forthcomin]

man you are a beast me and my wife sat up and watched every one of your vids you are the true def of a DJ mad shouts to ya from Dj Forthcomin from V.A.

[@oooohbaby1]

A taste of honey was also used by the funky 4 + 1 (sugarhill records) the song was called:"thats the joint". keep them comming, i love it!!! greetings from Holland!!

[@Crunkmissile]

Love the show man, big fan, love hip-hop. I did not expect the drum n bass history sample, 'nother favorite genre. Each episode's samples blow me away. Keep it up.

[@whufcl976]

Mate the Amen break gave me so much, drum and Bass Head and Hip-Hop initiate for as long as I can remember. Your enthusiasm for music and educating us on the history and origins of the beats, lyrics and sounds that drive the music that we have loved in our lifetimes makes me happy to see someone with a passion like mine Not seen the whole series yet but if it is not in, cannot believe that Led Zepplins "Kasmir" didn't get a mention! DJ Toastie

[@grifftrain]

this is an awesome series. very interesting and informative. sometimes shocking to hear these in there original form. The original artists need more recognition

[@vincelavalle]

Props to my man up there for bein down with the sound... cat knows his music. Nuff respect

[@barriobajaj]

Looking forward to future installments. Well done!

[@briansredd]

Have you tried reconstructing any of this? I'm working on Praise you right now. WOW what a pain! The organ is tough to pick out. What's worse is the Bill Withers I can't write left handed piano bit.

[@perrytheshit]

Oh my god thank you so much for everything you have done, and will do!!!!

[@hansruediglaser]

hey man..great job..did see you the first time and fro shure you gonna be a highlight on youtube for me... keep sampling...

[@LACK262006]

Keep them coming man. True audiofile indeed.

[@dbrown555db]

The Mandrill song was also used by M.C. Breed on a song called "Conversations". Luv this series. Keep em comin.

[@Redrizzle187]

dont stop wboy..youre tha best..keep it goin. you´re vidz are very informative...im..not many pepoles know about samples.

[@KennyLauderdale]

You should be at somebodies college teaching hip hop 101 from a producers stand point. Not only do you love the music, you do your homework and you educate. That is priceless. Every lil wayne fan should watch your videos and visit your site. We need hip hop in school. I mean man, how old are you? How did you find that Big Pimpin sample? Crazy!

[@LACK262006]

Positive K, dude you're taking it back with that one.

[@theonescorpio]

That 2nd sample from Al Green (break at the beginning) was also used in 'What's Beef?' by Notorious. Great sample!

[@mclal]

big up all the junglist @ 5:28 !

[@spindatish]

The fact that his lady is in to it just as much makes it for me. I fuckin love dj funktuall. His knowledge won't be bested....his energy won't be tested

[@oldskooldavo]

This guy truly loves music! Great to see, but would be more impressive if it was all on vinyl!!!

[@happeningfish77]

Dude, your reaction to Camille Yarbrough is basically how I feel every time I hear that track. :)

[@crumpstudios]

im really diggin this i need to watch more of your videos!

[@thelightcommeth]

Just wantedto say thank you Excellent work well presented appreciated

[@nkdm442]

I think that first Hip-Hop artist that used sample #5 was group Funky 4+1 with their song "That's the joint" (1980). It's on KZbin so check it out. I love it

[@mierecords]

This was a good episode. I never knew the Fatboy Slim or Blackstreet tracks were sampled. I was a little shocked lol

[@JamilaGomez82]

The way my jaw dropped on the "Big Pimpin'" sample...

[@vancozzin8998]

Taste of honey's Rescue Me was first used by The Funky Four in a song called, That's The Joint

[@pairadice1981]

Great stuff! I always enjoy learning the originals. I also enjoy the reaction from your wifey at 2:50 ... OH S*****!!!!

[@kushxhaze1]

yo you gotta keep making these i look forward to your top tens everyday, especially because i am an up and coming rapper on a new label thats is to be released later this year (731 records) , and you have gave me quite the variety of samples and tuned my ear to a lot of the old school tracks and classics and now my love for music has tripled so thanks and if you can lemme know the song that dr.dre and eminem sampled off of the song title is kill you eminem

[@ctreid89]

I really really appreciate this vid man i love da old soul music

[@martbee805]

You're thinking of Cheryl Lynn - "Got To Be Real". It's from the same disco era so that's why it sounds similar. "Got To Be Real" was sampled on Father MC's - "I'll Do For You"

[@fuzzwahmrp]

this is good shit man I like you're energy, keep doing what you do

[@KillaKail94]

I'm Glad You're Mine was also sampled in the song Shoes atmosphere

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Oh I've seen it and I love it. In fact i wasn't gonna use it out of respect to him but so many people requested it!

[@kazardancing]

@fmbighair it's no coincidence that luther brought them to ur mind, he was actually one of the 1st to have that fast cadence with R&B, listen to "never to much", not as fast to us, but for them times, that was a really fast cadence for R&B, a style influenced by Bone thugs, Beyonce, and much more.

[@martbee805]

Keep up the good work, FuNktaLL!! All you breakbeat heads should check out 'Breakestra'. It's a live band out of L.A. that plays alot of these songs live. They've been around for awhile and have a few Live CD's out and some vids on youtube.

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

agreed. best drum stutter ever!

[@StudioGuyMN]

I've never heard that Al Green song! That track is tight.

[@else3573]

Props on the big pimpin sample.

[@rushed4nr]

That Winton's Amen song reminds me of a song off of Arrested Development's first album I can't think of.

[@JohnnyFromVirginia]

No Diggity sample is like a straight clean rip! Holy shit the Postive K sample is fly too! That Vandross sample is vicious, big ups to Jungle Brothers. That Daft Punk song is a huge favorite of mine. I prefer it to Kanye's who I personally thought destroyed a great song, but that's just my opinion. LOVE that Daft Punk track, it's brilliant mixing. Great set yet again!

[@ericmckayrq]

John Shope agree Kanye ruined it

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Oh word, that is a classic! I should have listed that LOOOONG ago, my bad!

[@federicovicente8116]

I ♥ you, men. I just fucking love you. Years, decades, a fucking whole life searching the sample for that Daft Punk song. Keep on that way. Sorry about my english

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

@DPDBR23 My only problem with this situation is this. Doesn't EDWIN BIRDSONG deserve a freakin Grammy?

[@cratenerd]

Uphill Peace of Mind by Kid Dynamite. Check out Kool Breez's channel. He posted that song on Breaks,Beats,and Bullshit. I think it was on vol. 18 or 19. There's also a post for the full version by Carol Grimes and Frederick Knight as well.

[@yohanng4350]

appreciate your hard work man. you a legend !

[@smenkins]

classic material man BIG UP

[@mtnbiker78]

So so good!

[@theonescorpio]

Wow another sample i heard, #9 Mango Meat intro was used as the intro for the bonus track 'We Don't Need No Water' on Tweet's first album Southern Hummingbird... these producers really diggin in the crates lol

[@basskrustie]

you got soul, brother :) and sly is/was/and will allways be greeaat!

[@MrTouchtechnique]

#5 is also was sampled by the funky 4 plus 1 song ''thats the joint''

[@Bugeto]

this is so dope man

[@JRock424]

Amen Brother is like the second most sampled song in history behind The Funky Drummer. In fact, some guy did a thesis about the song and uploaded the video on YT.

[@ronskiuk]

that Al Green drum beat was used also by Massive Attack on album Blue Lines, funny how it clicks right into your brain

[@anthonygil9454]

2nd to last one also sampled in If it Aint Ruff-NWA

[@SuperKipetchi]

WHO SAMPLED THIS ? u should do a list from all those great samples nice sounds )!!!

[@scratchbin]

Great Work Man!!!!!

[@Tim073]

that Luther Vandross track is so amazing

[@SamaanAshrawi]

not sure if you already knew this, khusara khusara by hossam ramzy, is actually a cover of an older song called Khosara by Adbel Halim Hafez. My dad is Middle Eastern, and i was lookin through his old records and came across it. cool litle fact

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Wow, thanks dude.

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

I'm late into finding these. This series is so awesome. But looks like they took down part VIII :-(

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

+IntellivisionDude Nope #8 is still up but when I searched it, it didn't come up. I had to go to the Top 10 Samples playlist to find it. very strange.

[@IntellivisionDudeGaming]

+DJ Funktual .Yes you are right that it's up, it's just blocked so i can't see it. It says it's blocked in my country. I do live in the U.S.A

[@PlaystationGamerBoy]

+IntellivisionDude I cant find it either and im a funky soul brother from the UK.

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

OK I HAVE UPLOADED #8 DIRECTLY TO FACEBOOK! Go to the DJ Funktual fan page (press like) and enjoy! Funk

[@Orangeflava]

Awesome man! Love this series and love the original samples. First saw it years ago and just recently came back. Sample on!!!

[@walterreally]

i think the dead wrong beat was also used by Tha Dogg pound at the very beginning on the track 'one by one' right?

[@Jen303]

The changing of the cds is distracting. Still loving the info!

[@N3ppyZ]

Lol @ Love & Rockets thing in the background. XD Nice top 10! Although Amen Brother = best sample ever, and not only in hiphop!

[@MusicIsMyDrug008]

You're Awesome!

[@COMMOGSE]

I'm looking for the sample for "Nur in deinem Kopf" from Die fantastischen Vier. Been trying to find it for ages, maybe its been used somewhere else. Sorry , but its the only hip hop group we have in Germany. LOL

[@theseaclub]

Just a quick question, the fifth song Amen Brother by The Winstons its a faster version of We're a winner by the impressions is that right.

[@rwilliamsb007]

It is a faster version of AMEN by the Impressions. :)

[@rwilliamsb007]

And Were a Winner :)

[@SykoDj]

man i thought i had an extensive music library... i gotta go get me some more old school stuff and brush up a little

[@NickBalto1]

No.2 also sampled by Jodeci on S-more

[@YoungGullyBoy]

That sample wasn't only used by positive k but also by Funky four plus 1 - Thats the joint and some other R&b song But my face lit when i heard the sample drop

[@djsl210]

Taste Of Honey-Rescue Me was a B side and I use to cut the fuck outta that shit...I had to buy new copies cause they were all worn out...lol

[@Kwekwe]

There's an 18 min video on the Amen break 'the worlds most important 6 second drum loop'. Worth watching .........but the narrator no where near as much fun as this guy!! :-)

[@ReadDoug]

wow, thank you for this video!!

[@L33M_0]

Slipknot also used Amen Brother

[@fmbighair]

@benjamindollar04 thanks for the heads up, just checked out Never Gonna Be, idk, didn't really think it had a fast cadence even by 80's standards, not a real strong song either. There's not really a strong chorus but i DID love the guy doing roller disco in the video :) I actually think Luther's strong point is on the slower sweeter songs where he can sort of stretch his wings a bit.

[@fashnek]

I don't believe Kanye West's song "Stronger" has a single sound from "Cola Bottle Baby". It's true that Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" (incorrectly cited as "Harder Better Faster") was sampled, but only Daft Punk's vocoded lyrics were used -- not anything from Edwin Birdsong's track.

[@Jazzemoto]

SO GLAD YOU'RE MINE was ALSO the basis of MC LYTE'S "PAPER THIN"......but overall you've dropped some cool joints..keep it up

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

@osmeustomates Yes, that's Paula. My Sweet Mommacita Paulita.

[@mejika18]

"AMEN BROTHA"

[@hoypinoymonkeyboy]

1:19 robin thicke sang to this ahah, love this series

[@warock101]

D&B!

[@AlbertNdubizu]

Taste of Honey beats ... Sounds like Prince: I wanna be your lover...early 1980s

[@cleyvosier]

well let me ask u a question....have you heard of a group called H.O.T they sing a song called Just Cause I'm Guilty......swizz beats used it in guilty

[@djkenstone]

good one

[@CarlitoM.-ep5fw]

What was the song by the whiskers/whispers? Our main brother?

[@DJFunktual-SampleJunkie]

Amen Brother - Winstons

[@osmeustomates]

@funktuall nice nice, i watched all your samples o.o

[@t3xasranger]

The Amen break is so famous, I mean from Straight Outta Compton to a ton of D'N'B.

[@jjc9397]

What about the Amen break for hip hop? Straight Outta Compton... c'mon!! :)

[@Adjudicator]

@leviterande what's it originally called?

[@marinorules678]

@Daybo1986 its relax and take notes by 8ball and mjg, he was right its dead wrong by big

[@KennyLauderdale]

That jungle brothers sample at 7:54ish was also used by NWA for "If it aint ruff it aint me". "Ren is a villian and you are just a hostage so whenever Im steppin cover your head like an ostrage" Niggaz been waitin for this suckas been hattin for this know why cause so many are realatin to this" MC Ren NWA old school fo sho! Keep killin em dude.

[@fizzak7]

[@daking901]
