RefinedHype Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your Samples (Pt. 2)? Posted by Lucas G. on 01/16/14 | Filed under Rap Quiz, Samples

You asked for it, you got it! Last week, we started the sample quiz as a replacement to our (ingenious) made-up quizzes and y'all ate that shit up like cereal off Rihanna's booty. So looks like this will be a regular thing. Here we go. Oh and a lot of you were saying it wasn't hard enough, so I tried to include a few brain busters, but give the rest of the class a chance to catch up huh? They will get harder, but for now, we will keep it about average, so you will just have to deal.

Sampling is as integral to hip-hop as Jordan's and cartoon character chains...okay, so it's definitely much more integral but you get the idea. Below you will find 12 songs, your job is to figure out which hip-hop song sampled them. Since some samples have been used more than once, I tried my best to make the answer the most famous example. Still, there are a few extra credit answers, but if that isn't good enough, feel free to give yourself a point for each one you can name. When thinking of the answer though, try to think about which song really owned the sample. I didn't take some random drum break, I chose some pretty big samples, so you shouIdn't have too much trouble. If you wanna cheat, go ahead, but after you should seriously take a long look at yourself. If cheating on an hip-hop blog quiz is something you need to do, I feel bad for you; congratulations on winning absolutely nothing. For the rest of you sane hip-hop students, best of luck!

Sample 1: Fun fact, I actually heard this the other day and figured it out, so you should have no trouble.

Answer

Sample 2:  This is a softball, if you don't get this one you really need to study more.
