Song: FootPrints
Year: 2013
Album: Fat Boy Fresh Vol. 3.5 - Happy Birthday, Thomas
I was listening to Fat Boy Fresh Vol. 3 from the day it came out last summer and then was really pleased that Vol. 3.5 came out with a few more tracks, such as this one. Classic album! I hope Pooh puts out a box set of all the Fat Boy Fresh series in 20 years.
Artist: Tracey Lee
Song: Big Will
Year: 1996
Album: Many Facez
It's too bad that Tracey Lee and The Reepz didn't put out more material, but I'll settle for what they gave me. This song actually didn't sample Minnie Riperton, but was inspired by her.
Artist: Minnie Riperton
Song: Completeness
Year: 1971
Album: Come To My Garden
I wanted to sample this song ages ago so it makes sense that someone would eventually make use of it.
Rapper Big Pooh sampled 7 bars starting at 0:19 for the intro. The rest of the song samples the two-bar loop from 0:00.
Tracey Lee was inspired to not sample but play the 4 bars starting from 0:00 and also threw in some singing similar to what is heard at 3:13. A great way to get around a sample clearance.
