hip hop sample help...

[Unrepresented]

I know I've heard the sample used in Notorious BIG's "Friend of Mine" before, and I have been trying to figure out who else sampled it, and specifically what song.

As best I can research the sample is from Black Mamba's "Vicious" but I can't find any info on the song or who else has sampled it...

It's the bouncy little synth line with the delay on it used throughout the song.

It's driving me nuts. I know there's gotta be someone with a strong hip hop background who can help.

Link to YouTube of "Friend of Mine"

Link contains explicit lyrics.

The link is to Kool and the Gang's "Spirit of the Boogie", and I know that the Afros sampled it for "Feel It". Here's a link.

As for as the verses in "Friend of Mine", A Tribe Called Quest used that beat for "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo".

Damn. Sorry.

I posted the wrong YouTube window...

That's the other song that's listed as having been sampled in the album credits, was trying to verify that wasn't the song in question.

I'm specifically talking about the sample that's highlighted during the intro, the higher pitched synth line with the delay on it.

Any ideas on that?

Good news! I found out the answer all byself. It was Public Enemy.
