I always find it interesting to hear the original samples of songs that I've come to know and love in their recontextualized and popularized form. Often, I don't even realize until that eureka moment on a blog or YouTube or another happenstance occurrence that the song even has a sample; for whatever reason, I guess my knee-jerk inclination is to assume that a given beat is original to the artist. When you get the chance to hear the original song, though, it's insightful to consider that song's subject matter and compare it to and perhaps draw parallels with the new song.
Since this particular song and its accompanying sample were the inspiration for this post, I will provide you them both below. Enjoy.
