Comment:

Some say sampling rescued funk's forefathers from the slagheap of oldies radio; others claim a generation ambushed their elders and filched the family jewels. We've matched up funk's champion jams with the hip-hop tracks that thrust them back into the public ear. There’s a reason why James Brown's "Funky Drummer" has been sampled more than [i]200 times[/i] by half the hip-hop nation; in Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise” it catapults Chuck D's freight-train-in-the-night delivery into hyperdrive. Digital Underground rips open Sly & The Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" like a birthday present, scooping out horns and hi-hats for its "The Humpty Dance." And the loose-limbed tribal beats from Incredible Bongo Band's "Apache" get slowed down, chopped up, and echoed back in fun-house-mirror style on Nas' throwback boast "Made You Look." But don't stop here: from Marva Whitney to Marley Marl, you can walk the groove that transformed masters of the funk into gods of the hip-hop nation.
