does anyone know who sings the "do for love" song that tupac redid? It's the same beat to playa hata on the luniz cd too i think.

 

[ColdBlooded]

A lot of these are too easy, read your liner notes people

If it's a major label release 9 times out ot 10 they are going to list the sample in the production credits so they don't get sued. The ones you gotta watch out for are the groups that have a DJ as an actual member (ex. Gangstarr, Blackmoon, etc) or artists on indie companies cuz they are the ones that don't always say who the sample is from.


"Mind Playin Tricks on Me" - Geto Boys = "Hung Up on My Baby" - Isaac Hayes

"California Love" - 2pac = "Woman to Woman" - Joe Cocker

"Ring It" - E-40 feat Spice 1, Keek Tha Sneak, Harm = "Ring My Bell" - Anita Ward

"Diamonds & Wood" - UGK = "Munchies For Your Love" - Bootsy Collins
