Kam - Every Single Weekend (1991) sampled Lenny Kravitz - Fear (1989)

Artist:  Kam
Song:  Every Single Weekend
Year:  1991
Album:  Boyz N The Hood (Music From The Motion Picture)

I still remember going to see Boyz N The Hood in the theatre.  When the movie ended, Ice Cube's "How To Survive In South Central" got me excited about the soundtrack.  Adding Main Source and this song by Kam made the soundtrack memorable.  Kam is an underrated lyricist, the "conscious" rapper from the West.  Notice the album cover has a car with the license plate "Mac Dad".

Artist:  Da Brat
Song:  Come And Get Some
Year:  1994
Album:  Funkdafied

Da Brat does her thing but when Mac Daddy (the recently deceased Chris Kelly of Kris Kross) jumps on the track, the beat sounds even better.

Artist:  Lenny Kravitz
Song:  Fear
Year:  1989
Album:  Let Love Rule

I always enjoy a 2-year gap between original and sampled songs.  The Kam samples form a 4-bar loop.  The first bar is from 0:02.  The second and third bars are the same sample.  The fourth bar is from 0:12. Da Brat used a 2-bar loop.  The first bar from 0:02 and the second bar from 0:09.

EPMD - For My People (1990) sampled Lyn Collins - You Can't Love Me, If You Don't Respect Me (1975)

Artist:  EPMD
Song:  For My People
Year:  1990
Album:  Business As Usual

Best Hip Hop album ever?  Maybe.  Top 10 definitely.  I can't think of too many albums where every song is solid (I even like "Funky Piano").

Artist:  The Game
Song:  No More Fun And Games
Year:  2005
Album:  The Documentary

The Game rhymes over the same loop.

Artist:  Lyn Collins
Song:  You Can't Love Me, If You Don't Respect Me
Year:  1975
Album:  You Can't Love Me, If You Don't Respect Me 45-Single

Ice Cube had Yo-Yo and James Brown had Lyn Collins.  This is an interesting song because it sounds like some of the song is repeated.  Therefore, I will list both appearances of each sample.

 

The EPMD verse sample is the two bars from 1:25 and 3:39 (sounds identical to me).  The EPMD chorus is the one bar from 2:06 and 4:20.  Notice that each chorus sample is 41 seconds after each verse sample.

 

The Game had a more complex arrangement.  The verse sample is the same as EPMD, but occasionally there is a one bar sample from 0:28.  The "No More Fun And Games" sample is from 2:04 and 4:18.
