Version 4.02 July 1, 1995
This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Sheet attempts to answer these
frequently asked questions: Where have I heard that beat before? Where
did Mc/Dj/Pop singer get that from? This file catalogs samples and
remakes in rap, soul, and even some pop music.
After reading this file, and please mail me as many additions and
corrections you can, no matter how small. Please include the album,
complete song title, record label, and year if possible. Thanks in
advance for any contributions or comments you send.
Please remember that this list is composed of many educated guesses
on both my and the the contributors parts, so please excuse any mistakes,
and feel free to disagree with our own opinions.
This information is solely the property of the author and the
contributors found at the end of this list. However, we will permit the
copying and distribution of this FAQ _as long as the list of contributors

Artist or Group Name
Name of Album: (Label & Year)
* "Sampled Song"
Sampler's Song "Title" (Various Specifications)
(Vocals) means that the artist is sampling only the vocals, not the music,
from the original song.
(Vocal Interpolation) means that they are singing a melody or borrowing
lyrics from the original, without sampling.
{Interpolation} means that they are re-playing a melody, drums, or bass
line from a song. If it is unclear if it is a Interpolation or not, it
is assumed that it is a sample.
(Remix), of course, denotes various re-releases, and it is should be noted
if both the original and re-mixes sample the same song.
? , of course, represent unknowns, or information I know to be of more
questionable accuracy. Please e-mail me with the info if you know it!
An artist's albums are listed in order of release. When a
paticular artist's album has been sampled more than once, the sampling
artists are listed alphabetically. If an artist has sampled a song more
than once, the songs should be in order of appearance (first song on
first album to last song on last album.)
I am soliciting samples of *Old* school jams, pre - Run-D.M.C.
_only_. No samples are included of recent songs sampling other rappers,
singers, etc. They are too obvious and would take up needless space, Also
one will notice that in this FAQ, when one artist samples part of another,
current song, which was a sample of yet another song, both songs will be
listed under the original. For example, it is most likely that Alexander
O'Neal sampled Digital Underground, not Sly Stone. Still, both "The
Humpty Dance" and "Love Makes No Sense" are found under Sly's "Sing a
Simple Song."

{Classic hip hop beat that doesn't need tweeking - it's hard on the
original recording. This song is probably the most prolific rap sample
/DJ source when you take into account the 20+ plus remakes. Most of these
are phat despite being from artists ranging from Joe Williams (jazz
orchestra), Bill Cosby (soul/rock band), Allen Toussaint (the writer of
the original who later recorded it as a solo artist), and the Fireballs
(pop/rock group from the 60's). Any album you see with this song is
probably worth checking out if you're mining beats. The only weak
(beatwise) version I've (Matt McClellan) heard was Joe Tex even though
it's on the same album as "Papa Was Too". Even Hendrix has a rare
version.}

long list of songs confirms it. When the chorus breaks down into that
irresistable drum pattern, Sly laid down a classic. It's current rash of
use started way back with the "Humpty Dance." It seems that this beat gets
used more and more as time goes on. the rest of the song isn't used much,
but the organ was chopped up lovely for "Get the F--- Out of Dodge" and is
barely audible in the background to the "Humpty Dance."}

11. Source Materials
These books have been helpful in the preparation of this FAQ.
Any contibutions on books you may have found useful will be duly
noted and appreciated.
Soul Music: Who's Who. Tee, Rick. Prima Publishing, Paperback. 1991
By far the best overall book I've seen on Soul Music, with
interesting articles on most moderately obscure artists.
Rock Albums of the '70's, a Critical Guide. Christgau, Robert. Da Capo,
Paperback. 1981
A good overview of the '70's, covers moderately obscure artists.
Most useful if scrutinized for all its information, as it does not
concentrate on soul/ funk etc. Mandatory if you need a handle on non-
soul music as it has excellent coverage of rock, blues, and pop music
of old.
Rolling Stone Album Guide. Edited by Anthony DeCurtis and James Henke
with Holly George-Warren, Reviewed by Mark Coleman, J.D. Considine, Paul
Evans, David McGee.
Good overview of all music, lacks coverage of obscure artists, most
useful because it provides an overview of an artists entire career and
contains warnings of what albums to buy and to avoid.

12. Beat mining tips and tricks
After gazing through this monstrosity, one will well realize that
through my own collection, my friends who are into collecting, and the
tremendous effort of everyone on the I-net, there's a lot to know about
beats.
Just how can _You_ add to this list, and increase _Your_ knowledge
even further, so that we all can contribute something?
Some of these are rather obvious, but everyone will do well to pay
attention too all of these hints. All I can do is give you every one of
my tried and true beat mining tips...
1. Read this FAQ. ;) Its update's too. ;) ;) Seriously though, we've
done, IMHO, an excellent job of giving you the all the basic beats you'd
want in a collection, and have every intention of expanding on it. This
should keep anyone from going through the drudgery of reproducing the work
we've already done.
2. Be sure to check out some of the books listed above. They'll come in
handy during steps four, six and seven especially.
3. When you go to a music store, try looking at the hot new singles in
rap and R&B and rap. Read the credits on the back and get all the info
that's there. When you buy an album, or scope out a friend's, check out
the liner notes, and peep all the samples listed,...
4. Then make notes on the names listed from song to song in the
publishing credits. Every once in a while, they will list the names of
the writer's and performer's without giving a listing of the song title
or outright telling you it's a sample. If you know Modelist was the drummer
for the Meters and that C. Bobbit wrote mainly for James Brown, then you
have simplified your search dramatically
5. Listen to oldies public stations. Call up your local public radio
station and get a directory of the shows. I've had lots of luck finding
jazz, disco, soul and just plain funk shows. The best ones are focused
on the '70's though. That's how I caught the "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me"
and "Gz and Hustla's" loops, probably my two rarest contributions to this
FAQ.
6. Once you find an artist who's been sampled once, realize that's
probably not the end of the trail. Get other albums by the same artists.
Look them up on the critic's guides and see which albums were critically
acclaimed. See which one's sold a lot.
7. Check out all the members of a group you find funky. Consult your
resources and find out what other groups they worked with. Did they ever
put out a solo album? Did they start out in another group? Did they
produce or write songs for anybody? Did their record label specialize
in soul music, like SOLAR, People, and Stax records did? Groups like
Bootsy's Rubber Band, Ohio Players, and solo albums by Bobby Byrd and
Weldon Irving fall in these categories.
8. Check out old Billboard Magazines and see what did well on the
charts. Sometimes song titles will jog your memory. I got Charles
Wright's "Express Yourself" this way.
9. I don't recommend this one everytime you go on a beat mission, but
on a whim, I've been known to buy Greatest Hits and solo albums of people
I've never even known of before. But your best bet is to find out
something about them. Call the public radio DJ's you've found out about
and ask them to play something by them.
10. Compilation albums can be handy. Look out for companies that sell
mail order CD's and you can find some of the most obscure artists HAVE
been re-issued. Don't bother digging up that fat Skull Snaps break,
get the reissue.
11. Watch the year. Other's will of course will disagree with this time-
line, but I think you will be best off if you stick to these years:
Funk, Soul and R&B: 1968-1981
Jazz: 1968-1974
Rock and Pop: 1970-1979
12. When you go outside these years, you will still find beats, but you
will have to wade through garbage records. Your best bet is to get a
portable record player and go to stores where they will let you listen to
records before you buy them.

14. FAQ Updates
The Newest version of this FAQ and the individual updates can be found
throught these methods:
Usenet:
About the first and the fifteenth of every month, all the new
samples found are posted to alt.rap and rec.music.hip-hop.
FTP:
This FAQ is always at my own FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site.
FTP to basenet.net /pub/users/xombi. The file "sample###" will contain
the complete FAQ. If you just want the updates, find the file "new###"
for the version numbers you don't have.
Make sure that you transfer all files in the correct mode. Do not
FTP the version you can't use in its stored format:
Extention Mode Format
.txt ASCII All
.doc binary Word Perfect 5.1
_txt.zip binary All w/ pkunzip
_doc.zip binary Word Perfect 5.1 pkunzip
I unquestionably reccommend that you get the binary formats, as the
tabs and spacing make the information clearer.
It is important to note that the files themselves take a while to
get cleared for disseminaiton. (They check all the files to make sure
that it's not software.) Although this is the best method for obtaining
FAQ's, it may take a day or two for them to clear it.
If you need more formats, e-mail me. I'm also working on a data-
base file for this FAQ. It will be avaliable soon.
