5. Digable Planets - "Where I'm From"
[[Samples Archie Bell & The Drells - "Tighten Up", 1968]]

I'm not convinced that this actually samples "Tighten Up." I know that's what it says at the-breaks.com, but it also lists two other songs that have nearly identical rhythm-guitar parts: "Musica del Alma" by TNT Boys and "Ain't Nothing Wrong" by KC and the Sunshine Band." If you listen to all three, "Ain't Nothing Wrong" is the one that sounds the most like "Where I'm From." Possibly, the others are sampled less conspicuously, but I can't be certain. IIRC, the album's liner notes don't give any credit.

but sarge's post was relevant because that entry should really be Field Mob, who did the actual song and not Wayne, who just rapped over the beat on a mixtape

49. Lil Flip - "Virginia Tech Song"
[[Samples Cyndi Lauper - "Time After Time", 1984]]

50. Beastie Boys - "Finger Lickin Good"
[[Samples The 5th Dimension - "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)", 1969]]

51. Kool Moe Dee - "50 Ways"
[[Samples Paul Simon - "50 Ways to Leave Leave Your Lover", 1976]]

52. MC Shan - "So Def"
[[Samples Ohio Players - "Love Rollercoaster", 1976]]

53. King Tee - "Freestyle Ghetto"
[[Samples Diana Ross - "Theme From 'Mahogany'", 1976]]

54. Vanilla Ice - "Play that Funky Music"
[[Samples Wild Cherry - "Play that Funky Music", 1976]]

55. Jungle Brothers - "Tribe Vibes"
[[Samples Bee Gees - "You Should Be Dancing", 1976]]

At the end, someone should make a bunch of fake Billboard #1 CDs for each year and strew them around at yard sales and thrift shops.

56. 2Pac - "Until the End of Time"
[[Samples Mr. Mister - "Broken Wings", 1985]]

"50 ways" by moe dee is so dope

57. Beastie Boys - "Rock Hard"
[[Samples AC/DC - "Back in Black", 1980]]

that song was never number 1

57. Wyclef Jean - "We Tryin' to Stay Alive"
[[Samples The Bee-Gees - "Stayin Alive," 1977

58. Lil Wayne - "Blinded"
[[Samples Manfred Mann's Earth Band - "Blinded By The Light, 1977]]

59. DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - "Let's Get Busy Baby"
[[Samples Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke, 1977]]

Actually i think they replay it on keyboards, iirc.
