An artist's albums are listed in order of release.
When a paticular artist's album has been sampled more than once,
the sampling artists are listed alphabetically. If an artist has
sampled a song more than once, the songs should be in order of
appearance (first song on the first album to last song on last
album.)
I am soliciting samples of *Old* school jams,
pre - Run-D.M.C. only. No samples are included of recent songs
sampling other rappers, singers, etc. They are too obvious and
would take up needless space, Also one will notice that in this
FAQ, when one artist samples part of another, current song, which
was a sample of yet another song, both songs will be listed under
the original. For example, it is most likely that Alexander O'Neal
sampled Digital Underground, not Sly Stone. Still, both "The
Humpty Dance" and "Love Makes No Sense" are found
under Sly's "Sing a Simple Song." This is why En Vogue
has no entry, despite multiple samples of "Hold On"
Here, I plan to post questions I can't answer, and (hopefully) the responses from you guys, from here
on out.
Sample listings on the sleeves of albums make some of the obscure samples easy to put in here. But
sometimes people who put the sample on the album sleeves mess up. Case in point: De La Soul's "Ring
Ring Ring" DOES NOT sample "Pass the Peas." It should be listed under "Pass the Plugs." The drum sample
is actually "Impeach the President." And don't get me started on Del's first album.
The Soul II Soul section seems a little low. The same with "Spinning Wheel."
