Cool thread, I will definitely add to this. Here are just some random ones that I really enjoy, mixed in with some absolute classic songs.

-Too $hort "Don't Fight the Feelin" & many others; Sampled from One Way "Don't Fight the Feeling"

-Fat Pat "Tops Drop"; Sampled from Yarbrough & Peoples "Don't Stop the Music"

-Spice 1 "City Streets"; Sampled from The Dramatics "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get"

-Countless songs sample Zapp & Roger "More Bounce To The Ounce"

-Another Dramatics joint "In The Rain" sampled by GZA "Cold World", Big L "How Will I Make It", intro on BTNH "E1999", etc.

-Blackbyrds "Dreaming About You" many have sampled this excellent song

-Whole Darn Family "7 Minutes of Funk" another fucking fantastic one

Not to even get in to P-Funk samples...

 

[Pander Bear]

love that fat pat track

 

[2oclockbeanfiend.2]

Aerosmith "Dream On" - Eminem "Sing For The Moment"
Enya "Bodicea" - The Fugees "Ready Or Not"
Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" - Kanye West "Stronger" (Kanye's lyrics are weak as fuck - weakest on the album - but the sample+beat is fuckin slammin)

maybe my favorite sample used ever: Crowded House "Don't Dream, It's Over" - Classified "It Ain't Over"

 

[Pander Bear]

Aerosmith "Dream On" - Eminem "Sing For The Moment"

that was awful

 

[2oclockbeanfiend.2]

^ YOU'RE awful.

 

[Outta Pocket]

love that fat pat track

Yup summer jam for sure. R.I.P.

Here is another GREAT one, unfortunately the Marley sample was removed when UGK's first record came out on JIVE, obvious violation of copyright and such:

UGK "Cocaine in the Back of the Ride" original version; Samples Bob Marley "Revolution" & Curtis Mayfield "Freddie's Dead"... on some old school d-boy shit

JIVE did this with a ton of their artists, took their demo or underground tracks and "cleaned" them up lyrics / sample-wise, completely fucking a lot of albums up in the process

Here is another winner in the copyright violator category:

Ghostface The Soul Controller; samples "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke & dialogue excerpts from the films Carlito's Way & The Usual Suspects

This one is only available on the early presses, too bad cause it's fire
