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.

Dear past self,

The sample you were searching for was actually the song "Seventh Heaven" by Gwen Guthrie, and the Public Enemy song was "Welcome to the Terrordome" just for the sake of being a completest.

I came in too late to be of any help...

Dear past and present Unrepresented. It's sad to see we've arrive four years too late to help you. Damn you, perceived linear progression of time! I shake my fist at thee!

Perhaps the website 'www.whosampled.com' might be of use to you if you ever run into a similar conundrum.

Dear past self,

In the event that I am not able to reach you through communiqué in your inter-dimensional travels, please contact St Drogo here in this forum, he seems to be trustworthy and has quality references to information regarding sample information that undoubtedly is crucial to your past/future survival.

I have updated a secondary link in another forum that another past self made roughly a week before this. This other past self appears to be trustworthy, but of course, observe all due diligence when dealing with time travel and previous or future versions of oneself.

Here is the reference material on St Drogo:

Argh! Foiled by my own arrogance once again! Curse you, hubris, and your unexpected but inevitable betrayal!

Phaoroah Monch did a great cover of "Welcome to the Terrordome" if you haven't heard it. It's excellent, but I haven't a clue how to link it on my phone. Search and enjoy. And congrats. I've been pulling for ya since '08 buddy!
