Neek The Exotic - Comin' In Piles (Extended Version) (2013) sampled Dorothy Ashby - Drink (1970)

Artist:  Neek The Exotic
Song:  Comin' In Piles (Extended Version featuring B-1 and Mayhem Lauren)
Year:  2013
Album:  Hustle Don't Stop



This was one of my favourite albums from last year because it took me back to the 1992 Hip Hop sound.




Artist:  Ghostface Killah
Song:  Clips
Year:  2008
Album:  The Wallabee Champ



Ghostface Killah has a great ear for music, he always rhymes over the best breaks.




Artist:  Dorothy Ashby
Song:  Drink
Year:  1970
Album:  The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby



I liked this album so much, I went out and bought its inspiration, the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.  He was a poet who liked to write about the pleasures of the grape.  He liked his wine.
 
Neek The Exotic used the one-bar loop from 0:02 and repeated it three times and then followed it with the one-bar sample from 0:05.  Ghostface Killah used the same two samples but also threw in the "Yesterday....." sample from 0:13.
