Sauce Money - Pregame (2000) sampled Quincy Jones - Threadbare (Main Title Part III), Aftermath

Artist:  Sauce Money (featuring Jay-Z)
Song:  Pregame
Year:  2000
Album:  Middle Finger U.

I used to think that Sauce Money was going to be a superstar, but unfortunately, he didn't make as large of a dent in Hip Hop as I thought he would.  This album is not as good as I would have expected, but there are some great songs on it, including this one.

Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Threadbare (Main Title Part III), Aftermath
Year:  1966
Album:  The Slender Thread (Original Motion Picture Score)

Two different songs on the same soundtrack were sampled to create Sauce Money's song.  The first song below is "Threadbare (Main Title Part III)" and the next one is "Aftermath".  Both samples appear at the very beginning of each song.

Royal Flush - Family Problems (1997) sampled Quincy Jones - Don't Fly If It's Foggy (1966) and Ridiculous Scene (1966)

Artist:  Royal Flush
Song:  Family Problems
Year:  1997
Album:  Ghetto Millionaire

This album had some big tunes that received a lot of radio airplay.  However, this lesser known album cut was my favourite.

Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  Jam (Remix)
Year:  2006
Album:  The Lost Tribes

I'm not sure how official this remix is because it appears on this compilation album.

Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Don't Fly If It's Foggy
Year:  1966
Album:  The Deadly Affair (The Original Sound Track Album)

I can't believe that this is the first Quincy Jones sample on this blog.  He could supply many more posts with great samples.  The four-bar sample at 0:25 is used as the main sample for Royal Flush and A Tribe Called Quest.  However...

Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Ridiculous Scene
Year:  1966
Album:  The Deadly Affair (The Original Sound Track Album)

Royal Flush used another sample in the beginning and end of his song, the four-bars starting at 0:00.  For many older soundtrack albums, the songs tend to sound similar and use the same melody played in different ways.  It was a great idea to use this other song to supply another sample for Royal Flush because the two samples blend perfectly.
