Hip Hop arguably was created when DJs, starting with Kool Herc, used two turntables to constantly play the 'break' in a song while an emcee could speak or rhyme over it. While certain breaks, such as the Apache or Amen, were staples then (and continue to be), certain DJs scoured a variety of genres to find the best breaks to sample. One example of this is Grandmaster Flash's eclectic tastes, which led him to sample Liquid Liquid's Cavern in 'White Lines' or Afrika Bambaataa's use of Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express in
'Planet Rock'.
Let's see if we can put some great hip hop tracks here, as well as the song they sample.
Here's one that's been on my mind recently: Big Boi's Shine Blockas (Feat. Gucci Mane), which samples Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' I Miss You.
