Check out the young Phil Da Agony in the first verse. Also check out Snagglepuss on this rare Liks track from the compilation album "One Million Strong".

Song: It's Over
Year: 2003
Album: Free Agents: The Murda Mixtape
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.
Artist: Nas
Song: I Gave You Power
Year: 1996
Album: It Was Written
The samples used were just for the intro to this song.
Artist: Eric Gale
Song: Forecast
Year: 1973
Album: Forecast
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).
