It’s time for another installment of….
Guess That Sample!
Here’s the game: as I notice old funk, jazz, and soul tracks sampled by rap/hip hop artists, I post the original on the site. Then you try to see if you can recognize who sampled it. I reveal the answer, and you can listen to the sampled version. You feel happy and proud for guessing correctly, or sad and disappointed for not knowing the answer.
Last time we played Guess That Sample I threw out a fairly obscure one, but this time it’s maybe a bit more obvious.
Here’s the fun part - if you know who it is, and you can guess it correctly, you win a free dollar record. Just tell one of the Cousins that you knew the answer to Guess That Sample, and you will be entitled to a free record from the dollar store.
Here’s the original, called Be Alright by Zapp:
Now, click “read the rest…” to see who sampled this and to listen to the cut.
