Welcome back, y'all, to Name That Beat! Last week's winner was Belve who correctly guessed the sample of "The Greatest Love" by Lee Dorsey which was sampled by De La Soul for their track "Oooh" featuring Redman. It'd be nice to hear some new De La tracks instead of featuring their old stuff. I'm just sayin'. Shout outs to Plugs One, Two, and Three! LOL

This week's sample is below. To be correct and win a lifetime supply of free air, as well as the usual week's worth of bragging rights, you must include in your answer:

  • The title and artist of the original track below.
  • The artist and title of the track who sampled it.

    • Good luck!

    I was going to go with Boogabear's reference to "Rock Rock Y'All", which used the opening bars...

    Pretty sure Diamond D also flipped the horns, and possibly some other sections, for Brand Nubian's "Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down"...

    @ boogabear & nOva:

    I was actually not thinking of a Tribe song when I posted this. But you can get credit for this one, too :-)
