Slick Rick - It's A Boy (Remix) (1991) sampled Cal Tjader - Lady Madonna (1969)

Artist:  Slick Rick
Song:  It's A Boy (Remix)
Year:  1991
Album:  It's A Boy 12-inch Single

I dedicate this Large Professor remix to my baby boy.

Artist:  Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth
Song:  They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) (Vibes Mix)
Year:  1992
Album:  Not Officially Released

This track is not on the Mecca And The Soul Brother LP or the They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) 12-inch Single.  It originally came out on white-label vinyl and has since been rereleased on various Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth "Rare Tracks" or "Unreleased Joints".  It is also on the Deluxe Edition of the Mecca And The Soul Brother LP.

Artist:  Cal Tjader
Song:  Lady Madonna
Year:  1969
Album:  Cal Tjader Plugs In

Cal Tjader plays a nice vibraphone.  The Slick Rick sample is a 2-bar loop starting at 2:28.  The bassline is heard throughout the Slick Rick song.  In the chorus, the vibes come through but some of them were removed.  The Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth sample is a 2-bar loop from 0:10.

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - Check It Out (1994) sampled Young-Holt Unlimited - Bumpin' On Young Street (1973)

Artist:  Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth
Song:  Check It Out
Year:  1994
Album:  The Main Ingredient

I think this is a great album but what's really funny to me is how almost every track contains a sample of Biz Markie or Big Daddy Kane.

Artist:  Da King & I
Song:  What's Up Doc
Year:  1993
Album:  Contemporary Jeep Music

I have to mention that these guys used a different sample from the same song and did it earlier than Pete Rock.  93 Flava!

Artist:  Young-Holt Unlimited
Song:  Bumpin' On Young Street
Year:  1973
Album:  Oh Girl

I still remember in the late 1990's walking into Cosmos Records on Queen Street in Toronto and hearing this song.  I quickly asked what it was.  The Toronto version of this song would be "Bumpin' On Yonge Street".  The Da King & I sample occurs at 1:48 and the Pete Rock sample at 1:57.
