Hossam Ramzy - Khusara Khusara
Once again, I'm jacking material from a message board thread for another post. This one comes from the SOHH boards, where someone has gone to the trouble of putting together 100 links to songs that have been sampled by various hip hop tracks. Some of them are fairly well known, at least among crate diggers - Screamin' Jay Hawkin's I Put a Spell On You (Biggie's Kick In The Door), and the song above, Khusara Khusara, sampled by Jay-Z's Big Pimpin' - but there are somewhat more obscure songs included as well, with samples that have been used by Hi-Tek, Sean Price and Marco Polo.
Of course, I don't condone piracy (you know, because it supports terrorism), so I'm mainly pointing out the thread as a reference source for those interested in such things. Think of it as an audio version of the-breaks.com.
Here's the sample thread on SOHH.
For the audience participation segment of this post, I'm putting up one track from the thread. First person to correctly name the original artist and the rapper who sampled it (hint: the man is a Genius) gets a free tshirt:
ID This Track:
And speaking of samples, my man He's Hers put up an hourlong mix of songs, including the source for Jay-Z and Biggie's Brooklyn's Finest. Stop by his site to listen to the mix.
