Mic Geronimo - Unstoppable (1997) sampled Marvin Gaye - Poor Abbey Walsh (1972)

Artist:  Mic Geronimo
Song:  Unstoppable
Year:  1997
Album:  Vendetta



This track was produced by Pete Rock.  I thought this was a great sample from the first time I heard it.




Artist:  Kool G Rap
Song:  Foul Cats
Year:  1998
Album:  Roots Of Evil



Top 10 Emcee on the same sample but in this track the pieces are chopped up.




Artist:  Marvin Gaye
Song:  Poor Abbey Walsh
Year:  1972
Album:  Trouble Man Motion Picture Soundtrack (OST)



There are so many Marvin Gaye samples but this one is different from all the others because it was for a movie soundtrack.  The four-bar loop sampled for Mic Geronimo is at 3:35.  Kool G Rap used the same sample but rearranged the pieces.
