Phife Dawg - Ben Dova (2000) sampled Dorothy Ashby - Canto De Ossanha (1969)

Artist:  Phife Dawg
Song:  Ben Dova
Year:  2000
Album:  Ventilation: Da LP



The lyrics to this song can only be described as brilliant ignorance.  I still recite these rhymes in my head 13 years later.




Artist:  Dorothy Ashby
Song:  Canto De Ossanha
Year:  1969
Album:  Dorothy's Harp



The harp never sounds better than when it's in the hands of this lady.  This is a great album, full of classic samples such as "Fakin Jax" by InI.  The Phife sample is located at 0:12.
