DOES 'LIKE A PRAYER' REALLY SAMPLE 'BOB GEORGE'?

M. Doc did a Steve "Silk" Hurley-produced rap-house track that heavily samples "I Wanna Be Your Lover." It is not awesome, but close!

Richj (Rich), Thursday, 15 December 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

Raw Fusion "Do Your Homework". Great tune probably heard by no one, samples "I Wanna Be Your Lover".

Al (sitcom), Thursday, 15 December 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Didn't Dipset sample "Diamonds and Pearls"?

sweet earth flying (sweet earth flying), Thursday, 15 December 2005 18:26 (twenty years ago)

"Shut up, already, damn" from 'Housequake' is cut up nicely by DJ 2Tuff on the 2nd Tuff Crew lp. One of the tracks on side 2. A stormer.
