Sampled By Who?? Cypress Hill pt. 3

Yo this is the most obvious sample on the whole of the Black Sunday LP, which is also perhaps the nicest beat. I got the drums too! Recorded in 1968 and originally released on the 'Dusty In Memphis', this little number was written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins - who originally offered it to Aretha Franklin. Also appeared in a scene in Pulp Fiction...

Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacher Man


And the drums! Lee Dorsey was from New Orleans and began life after being in the Navy as a prizefighter. He began his recording career in the early 60's and was going long enough to open for The Clash on their US tour in 1980. This tune - written by Allen Toussaint, first appeared on the Ride Your Pony LP of 1966, with backing provided by The Meters. Loads of people have sampled the drums at the beginning of this tune, comment if you recognize any!, and Muggs also sampled maybe 3 different artists' versions, which there are many, of this tune over the course of the Black Sunday LP.

Lee Dorsey - Get Outta My Life Woman



And Here's the Cypress Hill version





And here's a slightly different version I found on my HD.

Sampled By Who?? Cypress Hill Continued...

This tune originally appeared on Brazilian born Flora Purim's 1974 longplayer '500 Miles High' which was engineered by Jim Stern and released on the Milestone label.

Flora Purim - Uri (The Wind)



And Muggs lifted the sample, tweaked it a bit and chucked it straight into this:

Cypress Hill - Cock The Hammer

Sampled By Who?? Outlaw Blues Band vs Cypress Hill

Hello Hello!

So today's update is going back to the original steez, and I'm coming with a serious tune! The Outlaw Blues Band hailed form California and this track appeared on their 1969 LP 'Breaking In' which was produced by Bob Thiele. They were part of a wide ranging blues revivalist scene that was going on back in those days, and thanks to this tune right here are still being revived today!


Outlaw Blues Band - Deep Gully





Then back in '93 Muggs, B Real and Sen Dog aka Cypress Hill dropped this on us. I vividly remember getting the Black Sunday CD for Christmas in 93/94. Good Times! It's still a fantastic LP and well worth a listen. I'll stick up a few of the other tunes Muggs sampled over the weekend

Cypress Hil - When The Shit Goes Down



Flip forward 20 odd years, and possibly the greatest early nineties hip hop group Main Source (consisting of the Large Professor, Sir Scratch and K Cut) dropped this bomb on their seminal début LP Breaking Atoms. I think this came out originally in 1991. EDIT: An it definately doesn't sample Deep Gully so who knows why I even posted it...

Main Source - Just A Friendly Game Of Baseball
