Classic Rock & Hip Hop July 23, 2007
I grew up on 60s and 70s rock, and have been on a quest to find hip hop tracks that sample classic rock. I’ve assembled a small playlist, but can’t seem to find much. One of my alltime favorites is the Grey album, which is a mesh of the Beatles White Album with Jay-Z’s Black Album.
Of the songs I know, these are my favorites:
Rabbit Hole - Living Legends (Jefferson Airplane, White Rabbit)
Hip Hop Is Dead - Nas (Iron Butterfly, Inagaddadavida)
Public Service Announcement Jay-Z/Dangermouse (The Beatles, Long Long Long)
I’d love to hear from anyone who knows of more like this!
z-trip together two great tracks wholly made up of classic rock samples - Rockstar 1 and Rockstar 2. They were included on Return of the DJ Vol.1 Vol.2 respectively. they’e both complete bangers - I could send you em, if you like?..
