You already know how this works - the original is first and the songs that used samples are underneath. To listen to the before and after (music), click on the links below the photos.
HIS PERSPECTIVE: Someday by
George Duke has a funny story with it. I sent this shit to
the girl one day on a whim and instead of hearing as a simple love song she quickly pointed out that it was a
tragic love song that had her
feeling sorry for the
crooner. The funny thing is, I never picked up on that until she said it and that shit still has me laughing to this day.
Common's version
has him as the heart breaker as he relays his own story over a nice
beat, great use of the sample and of course his flowing rap.
HER PERSPECTIVE: Listening to
Sweet Green Fields by
Seals & Crofts is quite the euphoric experience. As soon as the first piece of music cues in and
James Seals' vocals hit the track, you know it's gonna be good. I love the mellow and peaceful tone ala post-Woodstock era. On the flip-mode side,
Busta Rhymes (and producers
Shanello, Buddah and Epitome) turned
Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See into one of the hottest tracks to exist in music. And let's not forget the dope ass visuals in the video. Every time I hear this record, I'm taken back to freshman year of college at a campus party.
Put Your Hands had just hit the airwaves and when it came on, the entire student center lost their minds. That was an epic night!
*Sweet Green Fields was also sampled by Syleena Johnson in 2002.
Stay tuned for Sample This Vol. IV
