Our homie J Rizzle sent me this “sample map” about three weeks ago and I had totally forgotten to put it online. What’s missing? I know this isn’t all of them. It’s a good map though. Props to Ethan Hein for the creation.

    Thats a good start for his solo career, its just that there is so much with the Jackson 5 that is sampled too…

    This is pretty cool. There are more MJ samples than this, but its still more. Pun and LB’s “With a Child’s Heart” isn’t on here and some others. Regardless, this is some cool ish. Ethan this is a good job my man.

    Does 100 Miles and Running really sample Thriller? I’ve never heard that.

  • Will Randall

    I think you missed Ghostface’s “Strret Opera”, from “Ain’t No Sunshine”.

  • Will Randall

    And I went CRAZY two weeks ago when I couldn’t figure out Apostle’s Warning. I was having an herbal brain freeze.

    Thanks for the Ghostface tip, I’ll add it to the next version of the map.

    It’s Jackson 5 but wouldn’t the beat on Izzo qualify?

  • Will Randall

    “We’re Almost There” = Jadakiss “One More Step”, “Dancin Machine” = Q-Tip “Move”

    This was a VERY useful graphic. It helped me compile my own list of favorite rap songs that sample MJ. My list might be a little different from yours, you’ll be surprised…

  • Bill Dutch

    ..and Ghostface’s “The Hilton” also used a Jackson 5 sample but I can’t ID it.

  • JustinTime

    Dont 4get MJ “I Cant Help It” is used for Fabolous “Baby” and Ryan Leslie “Addicted”

  • J. Rizzle

    It’s good to see with this being posted that the man that created the sample map came thru the site Ethan Hein..y’all should check out his other sample maps. What a concept and I luv it.

    Bill Dutch, Ghostface’s “The Hilton” samples “Maria (You Were The Only One),” which is actually a Michael Jackson record, not Jackson 5. It’s off his 1972 album Got To Be There

  • http://WWW.TWITTER.COM/FRANK_TRUTH frank talk

    Fat Joe also sampled “Maria” as well. Song title not coming to me though.

  • Bill Dutch

    Maria..good looks Hood! I got so much of his shit i couldn’t skip thru EVERYTHING looking for a half a note.
