Capone And Noreaga - Married To Marijuana (1997) sampled Al Green - Something (1976)

Artist:  Capone And Noreaga (Capone -N- Noreaga)
Song:  Married To Marijuana
Year:  1997
Album:  Not Officially Released (White Label 12-inch)

This song would have fit in perfectly on "The War Report" album.  I can imagine Al Green not wanting to clear the sample because of the lyrics.

Artist:  Brand Nubian
Song:  Maybe One Day
Year:  1998
Album:  Foundation

I figure Brand Nubian dropped the science on Al Green and he gladly cleared the sample. 

Artist:  Al Green
Song:  Something
Year:  1976
Album:  Have A Good Time

A lot of babies were made to this stuff.  The Capone -N- Noreaga sample is a four-bar loop starting at 0:01.  Brand Nubian used the same loop.  Capone -N- Noreaga also took the sample from 0:29 for a two-bar loop in the chorus.

Showbiz & A.G. - Bounce Ta This (1992) sampled Buster Williams - The Hump (1975)

Artist:  Showbiz & A.G.
Song:  Bounce Ta This
Year:  1992
Album:  Runaway Slave

With Dres of Black Sheep on the track, this is one of my favourites from the era.

Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  Mr. Incognito
Year:  1994
Album:  Not Officially Released in 1994

I believe it was 1994 when I heard this song on the radio.  Since it wasn't released officially at the time, I assumed it was on a white label 12-inch single.  This song also appears on the album shown in the picture, a compilation released in 2003 called Hits, Rarities & Remixes. Fugees (Tranzlator Crew) also used the bassline occasionally in "Nappy Heads". 

Artist:  Buster Williams
Song:  The Hump
Year:  1975
Album:  Pinnacle

I still like Jazz bass for Hip Hop.  Showbiz & A.G. used the one-bar loop that starts at 7:10.  A Tribe Called Quest used the two-bar loop starting at 0:40.
