Spot the sample

I was stoopidly thinking of the original recording, not Gerald's sampling. Yes, that would have been internal memory. :o

That was done at Virgin Records studios wasn't it??



The first commercially available digital sampler was on sale in 1979, three years after the release of Derek and Clive Live.

okay - back to the sample game (never knew that about voodoo ray though):

This is a tough one - breakbeat/early jungle classic "We are E" - by Lenny D Ice. Where does the "we are e" sample come from? - and for a super bonus point who sampled it before?

In case thats too hard here's another. also on the oldkool tip - Urban Shakedown (Micky FInn) track: "Rough Justice" - "we all live as one family" sample. Where is that from?
 
I know I'm doing it the wrong way round but I'm sure there's a song that samples a clip of Hell's Angels leader Sonny Barger saying 'If you jump on an angel you're going to get hurt' or something like that. The clip is played in the film about altamont Gimmie Shelter, does anyone know the song that samples it?
 
Can I set one without answering one? Only because I made the connection between the sample and the song for the first time the other day and I like it when that happens.
Ministry's You Know What You Are samples someone shouting the title - which film is it from?
 
Shit, loads of unanswered questions:D

Here's another one. The lyrics to Supa Sharp Shooter, they sound like an American Rapper, but it's a UK tune right...Is it a sample?

"Voodoo Ray"

Who can tell me where these immortal words were sampled from then?

it would have been voodoo rage but Gerald's sampler couldn't fit the ge at the end...

*eta* ahh if only I'd actually read the rest of the thread before clicking on submit

I don't think that's right personally. There wouldn't have been any recording devices with internal memory in those days, it would have been a tape loop, which you can cut as long or short as you want. Maybe they just couldn't be arsed to put a longer bit of tape in!

Hardly, Akai samplers where around then...The S900 came out in 1985...it has 750k of sampling memory as standard.

It's LL Cool J - first track on the Walking Like a Panther LP. That's where the S the U the P the E the R comes from anyway...

The other vocal sample is Method Man - Release Yo Self.
 
and the we are e is taken from N'sel Fik by Fadela released on factory records

that we are the music makers is originally from
the poem 'ode' by by Arthur O'Shaughnessy

*eta* ok poem is ace, but too long.....

And the sample at the beginning of Weekender by Flowered Up where does that come from ('your barmey you are... etc' )
 
What about "I'm a human being god dammit, my life has value"

I don't know the tune or the film, am I imagining this one:o

I just sold a casio FZ-1 that was made in the mid-80s and could handle samples of up to a few seconds (on the lowest setting). It stored them on a 3.5" disc.
 
not sure of the one above but this is a hip hop classic from immortal technique revolutionary vol 2.

"I'm not guilty. YOU'RE the one that's guilty. The
lawmakers, the politicians, the Columbian drug lords,
all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just
like you did with alcohol during the prohibition.
You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick
the ballistics here: Ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem.
Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing
is bigger than (Immortal Technique). This is big
business. This is the American way."

just a little nerdy point - on a later album (black secret technology I think - maybe the enxt album after that) there is an update of voodoo ray called voodoo rage, with slowed down twisted metalheadz type drums and a time stretched vodoo rage sample.

i'll leave my other two (we are E/We all live as one family) up a little longer incase someone gets them - in the meantime how about this - the country sounding, drawling voice that says "three feet high and rising" at the end of 3:The Magic Number track by De La Soul. Louds of samples used on that track: bonus points for all got!

Also here's one I would really like to know: The piano loop in Public Enemys' "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" - you know: "I got a letter from the government the other day. I opened up and read it, and said they were suckas!"

I heard the original break a couple of years back and now cant remember for the life of me (actually I have a vague memory on the artist, but would like the track name confirmed!)

No wonder you're finding it difficult to remember - the song is built on a high-pitched piano sample from the Isaac Hayes song 'Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic' off of Hot Buttered Soul. Try saying that after a couple of sherberts :eek:

As well as the Isaac Hayes sample, the song samples "Little Green Apples" by The Escorts and "Living for the City" by Stevie Wonder. More about it here

Blimey its johnny cash (I wikicheated coz I was curious)... and that lennie d ice 'we are eeee' ... who else uses the sample (I'm sure its from that arabic track released on factory records... as I was listening to Palatine and that track came on and I had an 'ah ha!" moment)
 
[bump]

So does anyone know where the vocal samples throughout this track (Lack of Afro - Where it's at) come from?
