A Tribe Called Quest - Jazz (We've Got) (Re-recording) (1991) sampled Freddie Hubbard - Suite Sioux (1970)

Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  Jazz (We've Got) (Re-recording)
Year:  1991
Album:  Jazz (We've Got) 12-inch Single



Along with Scenario, The Low End Theory had the greatest remixes because these songs had new lyrics and a new beat.




Artist:  Deda
Song:  Nothing More
Year:  1996
Album:  The Original Baby Pa



Even though this album was released in the next century, it should have come out in 1996, I remember the promotion in 1995.  Pete Rock production and this Emcee from Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth's "The Basement" make a good combination.




Artist:  Rumpletilskinz
Song:  Is It Alright?
Year:  1993
Album:  What Is A Rumpletilskin?



These guys ask a lot of questions.  This is the best kept secret from 1993 Hip Hop.  Even back then is was under the radar.




Artist:  Freddie Hubbard
Song:  Suite Sioux
Year:  1970
Album:  Red Clay



The month of the "Suite" continues with this song.  However, I don't believe it is a genuine suite.  I think the song is just a funny way of spelling Sweet Sue.

A Tribe Called Quest used the one bar starting at 0:03.  Deda rhymes over a 2-bar construction where the first bar is the same as A Tribe Called Quest and the second bar is the sample from 0:09.  Rumpletilskinz uses the one bar starting at 0:00.

Real Live - Ain't No Love (1996) sampled Freddie Hubbard - Little Sunflower (1979)

Artist:  Real Live
Song:  Ain't No Love
Year:  1996
Album:  The Turnaround: The Long Awaited Drama (on CD known as The Turnaround: A Long Awaited Drama)



I recently heard a song called "One Life" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah featuring Toronto's own Tona.  It used the same Freddie Hubbard sample that Real Live used, but won't be posted here because I want to highlight the two songs that made me originally search for this loop.  "Ain't No Love" is a great use of the sample, K-Def created a masterpiece here.  I highly recommend this album.




Artist:  A Tribe Called Quest
Song:  The Love
Year:  1998
Album:  The Love Movement



Real Live is letting you know that there Ain't No Love.  A Tribe Called Quest is all about The Love.  Freddie Hubbard is sharing The Love Connection.  Happy Valentine's Day!




Artist:  Freddie Hubbard
Song:  Little Sunflower
Year:  1979
Album:  The Love Connection



I want to reiterate that I'm a big Freddie Hubbard fan.  Al Jarreau joins in on the vocals for this classic song sometimes known as "Sunflower".  The Real Live sample occurs at 0:02 and extends for the length of a 2-bar loop.  The A Tribe Called Quest sample starts right at 0:00 and extends for a 4-bar loop.

Tha Alkaholiks - WLIX (1995) sampled Freddie Hubbard and Ilhan Mimaroglu - Interlude II (1971)

Artist:  Tha Alkaholiks
Song:  WLIX
Year:  1995
Album:  Coast II Coast



This might be a world premier.  Obscure samples are really exciting to find.  Madlib digs deep in the crates and that's why he's a top-10 producer.  I found the supporting sample (appears in WLIX at 1:25, 2:21, etc.) and I suspect the main sample is also from the same "song".




Artist:  Freddie Hubbard and Ilhan Mimaroglu
Song:  Interlude II
Year:  1971
Album:  Sing Me A Song Of Songmy - A Fantasy For Electromagnetic Tape



Freddie Hubbard's trumpet is distinctive, almost like it's his voice.  I dig Freddie Hubbard so much that I listened to this abstract record.  Here is some experimental jazz, more sound effects than music.  The supporting sample appears at 2:21.  The main sample is more difficult to prove because I think Madlib mapped it to a keyboard and played it.  The source note appears at 3:10.
