One of my favorite things to do is listen to the original versions of songs that have been sampled by other artists. Every once in a while, I'll do some looking and find a good one. This one is David McCallum's "The Edge," which was sampled by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in "The Next Episode." I for one like sampling music because it keeps songs and beats alive that would otherwise fade away over time.
I like this too!! It is especially common to see parts of old songs appear in rap songs. My mom used to sing "Forget-Me-Nots" instead of "Here Comes the Men in Black" because the beat for the MIB song was taken from an old Patrice Rushen song. I never realized the technical term for it was called sampling though. I will do some more research on this now!
