Indigenous Power

Javier Estrada & A Tribe Called Red, “Indigenous Power [Original Mix]”

Starting with the original sample used by Kanye West in Power, it then goes through two more lenses to arrive here.

You Can’t Turn Me Away

Sylvia Striplin, “You Can’t Turn Me Away”

This is the source track for the sample used by Junior MAFIA in “Get Money”

Freddie Scott “(You) Got What I Need”

This song is the basis of the Biz Markie song of the same name.

Chamber Brothers “Funky”

This is the source track for the sample used by A Tribe Called Quest in “I Left My Wallet In El Segundo”.

Michael McDonald “I Keep Forgettin”

I keep expectin… to hear Warren G start rapping.

Isaac Hayes “Hung Up On My Baby” [instrumental]

This was sampled by the Geto Boys in their classic “Mind’s Playing Tricks On Me”. Love that Memphis Stax sound!

Joe Cocker “Woman To Woman”

You’ll immediately recognize this as the primary beat used by 2Pac and Dr. Dre’s hit “California Love”

Herb Alpert “Rise”

The bass line is clearly used by Notorious BIG in “Hypnotize” but the most recognizable part will be the guitar at the 3:10 mark.

Leon Haywood “I Want’a Do Something Freaky To You”

The first part is immediately recognizable as the sample used by Dr. Dre’s “Nuthin’ But A G Thang”
