"Big Pimpin'" apparently samples a song written by Baligh Hamdi for Abdel Halim Hafez. I'm pretty sure this is the Jay-Z song I think itis, since I remember hearing a continual sample that sounded awfully Arabic. Just earlier I was checking out www.maqam.com today for an album which appears to be some sort of Arab DJ playing around with Baligh Hamdi songs, which should be great to sample (even though a lot of them don't hold together so well as songs, in my opinion).

three years pass...

When I finally heard "Khosara," it turned out I had heard it before. I just wasn't that familiar with it. (It's probably on a certain Abdel Halim cassette compilation I haven't listened to for a long time.)
