Sauce Money - Pregame (2000) sampled Quincy Jones - Threadbare (Main Title Part III), Aftermath

Artist:  Sauce Money (featuring Jay-Z)
Song:  Pregame
Year:  2000
Album:  Middle Finger U.



I used to think that Sauce Money was going to be a superstar, but unfortunately, he didn't make as large of a dent in Hip Hop as I thought he would.  This album is not as good as I would have expected, but there are some great songs on it, including this one.

...



Artist:  Quincy Jones
Song:  Threadbare (Main Title Part III), Aftermath
Year:  1966
Album:  The Slender Thread (Original Motion Picture Score)



Two different songs on the same soundtrack were sampled to create Sauce Money's song.  The first song below is "Threadbare (Main Title Part III)" and the next one is "Aftermath".  Both samples appear at the very beginning of each song.

F.T. (Fuc That) - Brolic (2001) sampled Marvin Gaye - "T" Stands For Trouble (1972)

Artist:  F.T. (Fuc That)
Song:  Brolic
Year:  2001
Album:  Rush Hour 2 OST (and 12-inch Single)



An excellent choice for any movie, put F.T. in your next OST.




Artist:  Brand Nubian
Song:  Meaning Of The 5%
Year:  1992
Album:  In God We Trust



Even though Grand Puba left the group for this album, Lord Jamar, Sadat X and DJ Sincere made a classic.




Artist:  Marvin Gaye
Song:  "T" Stands For Trouble
Year:  1972
Album:  Trouble Man Motion Picture Soundtrack



Anything by Marvin Gaye has potential to sample.

F.T. used the samples between 0:21 and 0:25.  Brand Nubian used the one-bar loop at 3:43 for the intro and the one-bar loop at 1:03 for the main part of the song.
