Thanks for the info man. This is a great resource. Hip Hop is dead isn't sampled from Iron Maiden's Garden of Eden??? Maybe I'm missing something, oh well. Good job nonetheless
 
I've yet to hear anyone call wil.i.am on using the same ****ing loop as the beat to the "Theif's Theme." I mean, how do you recycle such an obvious sample like that?
 
lol maybe it just didnt cross anybody mind... its pretty obvious tho
 
1- there is no Iron Maiden song "In The Garden of Eden". It is Iron Butterfly's song "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (however it's spelled) who wrote the song, and the sample is from the Incredible Bongo Band's version.

2- why would we call out will.i.am? he just made the beat. nas decided he wanted to lace it again and used that beat. and he would decide that it went on the album. personally, i think it's real different and better.

yeah it is "in a gadda vida" or something like that. the lead singer couldn't pronounce "in the garden of eden" normally so they titled the song that way.
 
"in a gadda vida" is in that last friday 13th movie. I just noticed that last night.
 
story is dude was so wasted he was mumbling, and everyone in the band liked the way it sounded.

completely and utterly WRONG.
 
I ain't saying it wasn't hot, I was just saying samplers always get up in arms over all these "rules of sampling" I just found it suprising no one said anything.
 
Everybody knows it's the same melody, and considering it's the same artist, the "rules" are very meaningless
 
When I heard the drum break from the Steve Miller Band, I was like damn what a good idea :p !
 
bill withers keeps getting sampled, i love it how sampling his music has become sort of a tradition in rap. hes great and his records always sounded great.

coolest use of bill withers: the drum track of "let me ride" by dre. that was goin thru an mpc60 and, knowing dre, probably sampled from vinyl. so he gets the ILL drum sounds from a bill withers recording, on vinyl, and records them into a 12-bit sampler; a recipe for a guaranteed 90s rap classic.
