i am surprised that Lyn Collins "Think (about it)" isn't even on the countdown!

that's a puzzling omission. i'm still having a ton of fun with this list.

i just went out and got 2 david axelrod vinyls because of this thread

hopefully his first two. there's a lot of cheese in his catalog.

Fixed the title.

Nice find :)

 

they could have called it "the top 50 David Axelrod samples"...

 

So that's where Dre got that beat from...

Yeah, almost every hip hop artist samples David Axelrod.

Witch may I add is the shit, I love David Axelrod.

i don't think he's a biter. despite the direction he/they have taken, i still think he's a fine producer. and i secretly liked (and still do) fergilicious when it came out.

I love #42, been wondering what that sample is forever. Luke Vibert def uses it on one of his tunes (I think a Wagon Christ track).

Funky Drummer is basically the foundation of hip hop.
