There is a playlist on Spotify that has all of the songs sampled on Paul's Boutique that is really cool


My favorite Beasties Album, bar none. It's an album could not be made today. Without including B-Boy Bouillabaisse (with over 35 samples by itself), there are close to 110 samples on Paul's Boutique. t would be impossible to clear all of them today.

I think my favorite sample on the album is the sample of the Commadores - Machine Gun in Hey Ladies or



or Curtis Mayfield - Superfly in Egg Man.

When I was Dj-ing more regularly I'd add a verse by looping the bridge in Superfly and dropping in the first verse of Egg man Acapella...

Back in the late 80s I wrote, and demoed on my TASCAM Portastudio, a song called "Junior's Auto Sales".

Yeah, but I was referring to how much of the song he sampled. It's not just the beat, but the beat, an entire verse, and other sounds all from one Billy Squier song (The Big Beat).

Seem like half of License to Ill was Led Zeppelin samples.


As a kid I discovered License To Ill before Zeppelin, so my mind was blown a few years later when I discovered Zeppelin.

That's like saying "I didn't know Dr. Dre and Snoop Sampled Leon Haywood in Nothing but a G thang...."

I just figured everybody knew that NWA/Dre/Cube/Eazy E/ Death Row etc. was a rip or sample.


***That was the knock on rap back then. It was all sampled. "not music" as Kafka would say.

Hip Hop has always been sample based. I mean even the first commercially successful rap song, Rapper's Delight was Chic's - Good times looped over and over.

If you like hip hop, and have never seen it, this is a great video. Flash basically breaks down the entire evolution of the early hip hop DJ and how that morphed into what we now know as rap. I've cued this up to start where he takes a bunch of well knows songs and turned them into iconic hip hop samples/breaks. But the whole thing is worth the watch.

Grandmaster Flash Talks "The Theory" Of Being A HipHop DJ & The Beginnings Of Hip-Hop!!


Flash Breaks it down.
