The same sample is used here but it is interesting how they shifted the loop back one beat from what I had grown used to with "No Hand Outs". Shifting the loop changes the feel of the song.

Note in the bottom right corner of the cover it says Kudu 11. Kudu was a record label associated with Creed Taylor (CTI Records). There was a time where I would buy any record on Kudu.
Tha Alkaholiks used the two-bar loop starting at 0:51.
Mobb Deep used the same loop but added a few more samples. Sometimes there are horns punctuating the loop, these samples are from 1:14 and 1:18. Also, at the end of each two bar loop, there is a short sample from 1:13. When Mobb Deep's song is ending, you can hear Eric Gale's song playing from 1:23 onwards.
Nas used a short loop from 0:17 in the intro and then adds five of the first six notes from the Mobb Deep sample (the first note is not heard).
