The MB Sample Source Thread
 
I'm pretty sure we don't already have a thread like this. If someone knows that we do have one, let me know and I'll close this. Anyway, the idea is basically to create a place where people can ask if anyone else knows the origin of a sample used in a song or post any interesting sample sources they've found out about.

Good idea. This will be quite useful indeed.

I'm actually wondering where the spoken word intro to Wu Tang Clan's Can it be all so Simple comes from. It sounds like the mom from The Cosby Show.

It's from Galdys Knight & the Pips' "The Way We Were":

Great thread idea Janszoon. Don't have any pressing questions right now but I'm sure it will be really useful.

Ah, awesome. Thanks. I've always wondered.

Well I have a question myself, about the Edan song "Polite Meeting". At the very end of the song there's a sample of a very 60s pop/psychedelic sounding song with lyrics that are something like "Love one. Love all. Love is the very fountain...". Anyone know what this song is? There's also a sample of some kind of interview right before it that I'm kind of curious about too. I don't know if the guy talking is the one who wrote the sampled song or not but I'm guessing so.

Interview clip starts around 1:50 and the music sample fades into it around 2:00.

The "Who Will survive In America?" speech towards the end of Lost In the World by Kanye West?

Yeah, that one really has me puzzled. (Area 51, Is great BTW, I hope you got your hands on it) at first it reminded me of a piano variation of the bassline for A Night in Tunisia by Dizzy Gillespie (among countless others). I might check out some Thelonius Monk piano pieces, because it definitely has that vibe to it. There's a chance that it's not a sample at all, but a produced piano riff.

Right anyone know where the vocal part that starts @ 10 secs comes from?

To me it sounds like Michael Jackson, but what song is it from?

It's The Sylvers - Only One Can Win With the pitch slightly altered. The sampled phrase is at 3:04:


duotone 11-25-2011 05:22 PM

Brilliant SATCHMO thanks!

Just replayed it now and noticed its the sample from the vocal that appears at 2.32 with the longer word "love" and not the 2.04 one. Sorry to be so pedantic.

Listen to Music Samples, Remixes and Cover Songs | WhoSampled

Not sure if you guys are aware of this site. I've found it very useful.

J.dillas "bye" track from his "Donuts" album.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The swirly sounding keyboards? Kind of a gargling sound that start at 3 seconds. Any ideas?

Edit* found it thanks to www.whosampled.com http://www.whosampled.com/sample/vie...01%20%26%202)/

The sample comes from a track by The Isley Brothers called "don't say goodnight (it's time for love (parts 1 & 2)" and the sample must have been originally played by Chris Jasper, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Jasper

Tupacs "I ain't mad at cha"

I love the piano that plays throughout, anyone know where it's sampled from?

Edit* it's from a Debarge track called "Amen"
