Dusty Springfield - "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" In a year when another David Axelrod put in some serious work, listening to this sample is somehow all the more satisfying. Truth be told, the beat itself is just about nothing more than a looped sample, but hey, I ain’t complaining – the track is hot! The crazy part about it all is that the beat was created by Swizz Beatz (I assumed it was Just Blaze or Kanye). Carter" by Lil Wayne Borrowing from the theme of Jay-Z’s “1-900-Hustler” – at least that’s how I view it – Weezy (w)rapped circles around this great instrumental. As long as Jeezy continues to rock out on soul samples like this, I’ll continue to listen. After much deliberation, of course! This beat – and his energetic performance on it – helped me reach the final verdict. And I have a confession to make: in 2008, I officially became something of a Young Jeezy fan. In a year of severe economic uncertainty, the usage of this sample was beyond fitting, not to mention the fact that it held together the thesis for Jeezy’s album. It’s worth noting that both J Dilla and 9th Wonder sampled this Billy Paul gem before producer Don Cannon got his hands on, but that’s not to say that this version doesn’t deserve its props.
Sampled for: "Circulate" by Young Jeezy Throughout the year, it wasn’t too common to hear soulful gems of this caliber being sampled on such mainstream albums as Young Jeezy’s The Recession. The addition of Tip’s Southern touch made this track sizzle. So when I first heard “Whatever You Like”, I thought it was an original composition! Produced by New York-native/Florida-bound Jim Jonsin, “Whatever You Like” was one of a handful of ’08 tracks that drew influence from the sounds of the ‘80’s, particularly with Giorgio Moroder-esque synthesizers. I’ve only seen the one with Ivan Drago, for obvious reasons of course (“I must break you!”).

Full disclosure: I’m not much of a Rocky fan. This beat is a certified banger! Now I wonder, did Wayne and his label really have to pay up $700-thou’ for the sample? Bill Conti - "Redemption (Theme from Rocky II)" The funniest part about this whole +scenario+ – pun intended – is hearing a Tribe sample used on a Weezy track! Everyone hopped on this track throughout the last half of ’08 – and for good cause. Like I said, simple, right? Yes, with exception – a HUGE exception – to this gem of a vocal sample! Some might call this sample selection the dig of the year based on the pure fact that it’s so incredibly obscure, neatly tucked away into an often unheard remix track. You’ve got your bass and one of two snares: one sounds like a traditional drum sample, the other a snap/crack sound effect. EVERYONE!) If you break down Bangladesh’s “A Milli” beat, the structuring is really quite simple. A Tribe Called Quest - "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo (Vampire Mix)"
