Masta Ace Incorporated - Crazy Drunken Style (1993) sampled Jim Sullivan - Rosey (1969)

Artist:  Masta Ace Incorporated
Song:  Crazy Drunken Style
Year:  1993
Album:  SlaughtaHouse

Masta Ace is an icon, a legend and probably has the best live show I've ever seen.  Originally known as Master Ace and part of the Juice Crew, he later formed Masta Ace Incorporated which included Lord Digga.  These two exchange rhymes on this track which features great vocal samples and two loops of music.

Artist:  Jim Sullivan
Song:  Rosey
Year:  1969
Album:  U.F.O.

At the intersection of folk music and David Axelrod is Jim Sullivan.  He made this great album called U.F.O. in 1969 and 6 years later he mysteriously disappeared in New Mexico.  Some say he was abducted by a U.F.O.  The first sample heard on the Masta Ace track is a one-bar loop that appears at 0:00.  The main sample appears at 0:28.

Real Live - Ain't No Love (1996) sampled Freddie Hubbard - Little Sunflower (1979)

Artist:  Real Live
Song:  Ain't No Love
Year:  1996
Album:  The Turnaround: The Long Awaited Drama (on CD known as The Turnaround: A Long Awaited Drama)

I recently heard a song called "One Life" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah featuring Toronto's own Tona.  It used the same Freddie Hubbard sample that Real Live used, but won't be posted here because I want to highlight the two songs that made me originally search for this loop.  "Ain't No Love" is a great use of the sample, K-Def created a masterpiece here.  I highly recommend this album.

Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  The Love
Year:  1998
Album:  The Love Movement

Real Live is letting you know that there Ain't No Love.  A Tribe Called Quest is all about The Love.  Freddie Hubbard is sharing The Love Connection.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Artist:  Freddie Hubbard
Song:  Little Sunflower
Year:  1979
Album:  The Love Connection

I want to reiterate that I'm a big Freddie Hubbard fan.  Al Jarreau joins in on the vocals for this classic song sometimes known as "Sunflower".  The Real Live sample occurs at 0:02 and extends for the length of a 2-bar loop.  The A Tribe Called Quest sample starts right at 0:00 and extends for a 4-bar loop.
