Two editorials in a row with titles inspired by lines from the Jay-Z [click to read]/Nas beef, that one just never stops giving. Hundreds and hundreds or Hip Hop songs have utilized the same songs for sampling or just the same sample. Sometimes it is obvious, other times you've gotta keep your ear to the speaker to catch. There are a handful of songs out there that get a pass here for the simple fact that they've been sampled way, way too many times (see James Brown's "Funky Drummer," Isaac Hayes' "Walk On By," Bob James' "Nautilus," Kool & the Gang's "NT" or Joe Tex's "Papa Was Too"). Here are a handful of samples and who used them. It is just about what producer flipped it better, but also what emcee(s) did the production more justice. Listen and vote.
Eric B. & Rakim [click to read] vs.Too $hort [click to read] vs. X-Clan vs. AMG vs. South Central Cartel (Sample: Average White Band "School Boy Crush")
All of the above sampled the riff of Average White Band's "School Boy Crush." Eric B. & Rakim and X-Clan easily took the most liberties with it, and are nearly identical. I love them all, but I've gotta roll with the Ra on this one, hands down.
