Sampling has become increasingly popular over the last few decades and this means that many of the most well known songs of the era are actually extensively based on other older, less well-known songs. So today we are going to take a look at 11 songs based on samples of older records.
📌1:50 I said "Summertime Madness" by Kool and The Gang, when the correct title is "Summer Madness". Sorry for any confusion caused and thanks to the commenters who brought it to my attention.

Been fascinated with sampling since the ‘80s and one of my all-time favorite examples of perfectly-layered long-form samples is 1989’s “What U Waitin’ 4?” by the Jungle Brothers. Aside from multiple incidental samples, the rhythm, melody, and percussion throughout are from three separate songs and work together seamlessly 🥰 Other songs have used just as many samples or more, but few seem to belong together and groove so well as this. I’ll let you unpack what the source tracks were, but would love to see it covered in a future video 😁

Here’s interesting example of sampling giving new life to a song that initially flopped: the 1978 song “Street Player” by the band Chicago was not a hit at all, and would likely have been completely forgotten . . . but in 1995, producer Kenny Gonzalez, under the moniker of “The Bucketheads,” released the hit dance track “The Bomb,” which consists entirely of samples from “Street Player.” Nearly 15 years after that, “Street Player” was sampled again, this time in Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me.”

Thanks for the great video, it's very informative. My English is quite poor, so please forgive me, but I remember that in the early days of rap and hip-hop, sampling was the basis of the music, and dubbing accordingly was a feature, while in the 70's progressive rock was sampling from spontaneous sources. In any case, I see this as an opportunity to re-evaluate sampled songs and musicians.

massive attack has some amazing sampling as well, and they have some little moments similar to Groove Is In The Heart where it feels unnecessary to the track but functions almost more as a nod to some of their influences. two that come to mind are the Velvet Underground sample in Risingson and the The Cure sample in Man Next Door. there are also other techniques they use that might not be straight up sampling but carry a lot of the same ethos-like the “automatic crystal remote control” line in risingson, and getting horace andy to sing a different version of his own song for Angel

Which usually includes an early hip-hop song and it's funk/jazz/blues inspired original. That Fire Prodigy song and their "Hey" sample is a new one to the list! My favorite sample-example is one I just recently tracked down. It's Swing out Sisters cover of "Am I the same girl," by Barbara Acklin which ALSO samples the instrumental bit of "Soulful Strut," by Young-Holt Unlimited. That was a months long saga of hearing snippets over the radio at work but not being able to make out any of the words. So satisfying to finally track it all down 😅😅

"Hey Lover" by Boys 2 Men & LL Cool J is a sample of Micheal Jackson's "The Lady In My Life". Blaque's "Bring It All To Me" is a sample of Shalamar's "I Don't Wanna Be The Last".

It could be interesting to do something about the meta of songwriters making instrumentals hoping to be sampled. It’s definitely a thing. The way songs are written to appeal to sampled “moments”.

@@juicebox9657 isn't that the business model of all those sample websites like Splice? Musicians subscribe to get "download tokens" which allow them to download samples/loops made by other musicians who will get a few cents for every download from the website. Some write entire songs and put the separate tracks (bass, guitars, vocals, drums) up for download.

Personally I love sampling as it can lead to some very creative beats, breaks and sonic surprises. Back in the day was a challenge to get samples from existing recordings, but I would try my best with the good old Casio SK1 and then later with a Commodore Amiga. Finding those good loop points, still dabble a bit now with the power of the PC and even the mobile phone just for entertainment purposes. H ave really enjoyed this series of videos, realising where some audio samples have come from, even trying to spot them in today's music.

I agree Justin, I had a Akai S2000 with 2MB 💾 drive. What is annoying today is when I upload my whitelabel records to KZfaq, then get hit with a copyright ©️ infringement for a song from 1981 with the complaint from a 2007 song. I don't bother uploading my music since then.

I used to hate sampling, thinking it was lazy and unoriginal. But it's a great way to discover new songs and if done right, it can produce some of the coolest backing tracks you'll ever hear.

@ignatiusjackson235 9 ай бұрын

Oh, it's still just as lazy and unoriginal as it's ever been. The only saving grace is that it does act as an advertisement of sorts for great forgotten songs. That doesn't make it any more innovative. Quentin Tarantino reintroduced the world to surf rock after Pulp Fiction, but that doesn't make him a great musician by any stretch of the imagination. Interestingly enough, I'm aware that many film snobs refer to his own directorial work derivative, but the difference is that he steals the cinematic equivalent of LICKS, not the SHOTS from the original films themselves. Sampling is no more "musical" than a television advertisement is.

@bleepmusic 9 ай бұрын

@@ignatiusjackson235 Even the "laziest" sampling recontextualizes a piece of music and requires additional editing around the music to reinforce the beat/bass/melodic elements. All its own creative process. Good sampling requires enough musicianship to know how to do all of this. Using an element of something from something else doesn't automatically void everything about it. It's at this point a 50+ year old celebrated technique in music used by greats such as Daft Punk, The Avalanches, J Dilla, Stevie Wonder, Flying Lotus, and countless others.
