JUICY FRUIT Became An ICONIC Hip Hop Single
Sample Sunday 014

“Juicy Fruit” by Mtume became one of the greatest Hip Hop samples of all time and one of the most recognisable records ever produced by the Notorious B.I.G.

It was all a dream, now I read Word Up magazine, Salt-N-Pepper, Heavy D, up in the limousine…

This week not only includes “Juicy”, but four other classics by the Notorious B.I.G., including:

  • Big Poppa
  • Hypnotize
  • Get Money by Junior M.A.F.I.A.
  • Mo Money, Mo Problems

Sample Sunday is a Hip Hop music show where my girlfriend, Rhian hears five records that have been used as a sample and then has to work out what came of the original record.

3 Feet High & Rising De La Soul Samples

De La Soul is the main reason I got into Hip Hop, and certainly my first step. De La Soul’s Three Feet High & Rising was the soundtrack to my childhood, specifically between the ages of 3 (as far back as I can remember) and 6. In 2019 and 2020 De La Soul have been...

Simon Says GET THE F*** UP

Pharoahe Monch is easily one of my top five favourite emcee’s. His use of Soul music, mixed with witty, intricate and often dark lyrics make his music an easy go-to any time I’m stuck for ideas. His album “W.A.R.” is by far one of the greatest Hip Hop albums ever...
