Post by: INGlewood4Life on August 21, 2009, 01:19:56 AM
I'll give you a hint it was drums that were used off of a rock song in 1982~~~~ The song  is a classic among hip hop fans!!! It came out in 84' It was produced by an R n B group!!!! I'll hit chu in a few days wit the answer!!!!! They switched back an forth between the sample and the programmed beat good luck ya'll ;D Only DJ's like myself or true hip hop fans will know this

Afrika Bambaataa & James Brown - Unity?

Don't think its produced by an R&B group but it was released in '84 and it features James Brown. The sample king of Hip Hop. And of course it samples James Browns own records. ??? I'm wrong though huh? :-\ It's not produced by an R&B group, damn it, hahaha.

the first ever song to use a sample was actually back in the 60s when they used tapes!

the first hip-hop song was by grandmaster flash and that was in 80/81.

The answer is................drum roll.................. Roxanne Roxanne UTFO sample used was BIG BEAT by Billy Squire. Produced by FULL FORCE!!!!!!!! pull it out and listen to it son!!!!!! Grandmaster flash had his songs replayed by DUKE Bootee and his band son sorry!  Afrika Bambaataa did the same!!!!! 8) back in the day alot of fools scratched records to make it appear as a sample!!!! Trust me...LOL... I'm a DJ not a doctor!!!!!

nah thats 'rapture' from early 80s. krs one did the interpolation on 'step into a world' and i think the song itself was actually sampled by others
