Do you know where your music comes from?


These days almost every song includes a sample. I'm not opposed to sampling especially when the song is a hit. Here are a few songs and the original songs they were sampled from.

Jay Z: Empire State of Mind



Here is the original The Moments: Love On A Two Way Street



Another sample used for Empire State OF Mind Issac Hayes: The Breakthrough



Kanye West: Champion



Original Steely Dan: Kid Charlemagne



Kanye West: Good Life



Michael Jackson: PYT



Mya: The Man In My Life (This is kind of a cover/sample)




LL Cool J: Hey Lover



The Original Michael Jackson: Lady In My Life




I will be posting more of these...
