Ok so I know we’ve been missing a couple Sample Sundays so I thought I’d post one of my favourite hip hop tracks. The song is not only a sick track but it also samples 3 very epic songs…

first and foremost we got Sitting On the Dock of the Bay by mr. Otis Redding, a classic track that always puts a smile on my face no matter how shitty shit is. Next we got a funking funky track from 1968, Sing A Simple Song by Sly & The Family Stone. This was the b-side on the famous single Everyday People that rocketed to no.1 on the charts in 1969. Lastly Eye Know holds the best vocal sample in any hip hop track… Peg by Steely Dan. The pitch was raised quite a bit too making Donald Fagen’s Voice sound like a woman.. I’m guessing this was done on purpose “I know I’ll love you better”. Consider this a very happy sample sunday as for every track here will put a huge smile on your face. Enjoy!
