“I’m Coming Out,” the hit single from Diana Ross’ self-titled tenth album, Diana, was sampled on one of the biggest hip-hop tracks of the 1990s.

https://www.theroot.com/embed/inset/iframe?id=youtube-video-x1UFqTfAAWU&start=0Mystic Brew

This track from longtime funk and soul organist Ronnie Foster is one of my favorites of all time. This chill performance created the layout for one of the dopest beats of all time. It was sampled on A Tribe Called Quest’s 1993 track, “Electric Relaxation,” which has in turn inspired a plethora of other rappers.

Sometimes you hear songs and you instantly the song that sampled it. That’s the case with the Isley Brother’s classic 1977 song, “Footsteps in the Dark. Six seconds into the songs you instantly know Ice Cube sampled this song on his 1992 hit, “It Was a Good Day.” I can’t listen to one song without thinking about the other. “Footsteps in the Dark” was also sampled by Thundercat on “Them Changes,” a popular song used often used on social media.

Those drums played throughout the track are timeless and have been sampled by many artists across genres for years. Most notably, it was sampled on the 2004 track by Mario Winans, “I Don’t Wanna Know.” Many people give Winans’ the credit for its sample on the standout track, “Creepin,’” by Metro Boomin and The Weekend, but those drums came from EPMD.

The Sylvers- Cry of a Dreamer

This song is by no means one of the most popular samples of all time, but it’s definitely one of my favorites, thanks to the brilliance of a great producer, Madlib.
