Double XX Posse - Not Gonna Be Able To Do It (1992) sampled Buster Williams - Batuki (1975)

Artist:  Double XX Posse
Song:  Not Gonna Be Able To Do It
Year:  1992
Album:  Put Ya Boots On



This is a rare album in 2015, but back in 1992 it was all over college radio.




Artist:  Buster Williams
Song:  Batuki
Year:  1975
Album:  Pinnacle



I still miss the days when Hip Hop had a strong jazz influence.

All of the elements of the one-bar loop appear between 0:01 and 0:03.  The pieces were spaced out nicely to fit in a 4/4 time.  One of the samples repeats, once at a higher pitch and then immediately at a lower pitch.
