John Robinson - There She Goes (2008) sampled Ramsey Lewis - Julia (1968)

Artist:  John Robinson
Song:  There She Goes
Year:  2008
Album:  Who Is This Man



I wish there was more jazz in Hip Hop.  This whole album is produced by MF Doom.




Artist:  All Natural
Song:  50 Years
Year:  1998
Album:  No Additives, No Preservatives



I slept on these guys back in the 90s.  I'm only catching up now.




Artist:  The UMC's
Song:  It's Gonna Last
Year:  1991
Album:  Fruits Of Nature



Many dismissed these guys back in 1991 but I was a big fan of their jazzy productions.




Artist:  Ramsey Lewis
Song:  Julia
Year:  1968
Album:  Mother Nature's Son



More Cadet goodness.

John Robinson used the sample at 0:00 for the intro.  The verse combines two bars starting at 0:29 with two bars starting at 0:23.  Sometimes the combination changes to the two bars starting at 0:29 with the two bars starting at 0:34.

All Natural used a similar loop to John Robinson, but most of the time you hear the four-bar loop at 2:15.

Finally, The UMC's used a one-bar loop from 1:22 but added samples from 1:15 and 1:20.
