Throwback Thursday - Marvin Gaye Edition
Marvin Gaye's Birthday is today, and the anniversary of his death was yesterday. In his honor, for throwback thursday, here are a few Hip Hop Songs that sampled him, plus the songs they came from.
Turn Da Lights Off - Tweet ft. Missy
The sample is right there in the beginning. It comes from
If This World Were Mine - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
Next Up, The Pen & The Needlz - Lupe blacks out on the track, listen to the lyrics
It's sampled from the Marvin track Mercy, Mercy Me (go to 2:40 to hear the sampled part)
We get a 2 for one on this one. 50 Cent - Ghetto Qu'ran
and Smilez and Southstar's one hit wonder Tell Me
both sample Stop, Look, Listen to your heart by Marvin and Diana Ross (this is a remix, but you owe it to your self to download the original)
Shaggy - Mr. Bombastic
Sampled from Let's Get it On (duh!)
Finally, The best Marvin Gaye Sample of all time goes to Kanye West - Spaceship (starts at :33)
That sample is from Distant Lover:
I could listen to those last two songs on repeat forever.

Sample Spotlight: Rick Ross & Birdman, Dr. Dre
I love it when this happens.
Every hip hop head knows the art of the sample is one of the cornerstones of hip hop production. The ability to take the mood of one song and flip it to make it say something different is well respected in the game. As a kid a game I used to play is spot the sample, i.e. I'd try to figure out what songs were used to make the hits I heard on the radio. This section "Sample Spotlight" will be dedicated to the Samples that provide the background of so many of your favorite songs.
On today's Sample Spotlight, peep the new track I posted by Dr. Dre and T.I. yesterday, Shit Popped Off:
Sometimes, producers will sample the same song at the same time. I give you now, different flip of the same sample, Shittin on Em, by Rick Ross, Birdman, and Busta Rhymes:
Now both of these songs share a funk R&B sample from the masters, Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness (a track that's been sampled plenty in history, most notably by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince):
Who flipped it better is the question...
