But alright smartypants, here's one I think is difficult.
 
Let's see how you do. Last one for me tonight as I'm off to bed but I'll be back with more tomorrow if it's solved ;)

He's got it.
 
Alright, one last one and I really am going to bed... back tomorrow to check if it's solved and to put up another. I'll stump you one of these days!
 
Someone hack SD's computer and make sure he's not cheating ;)

Re Slick Rick: the fading train horn is from Kraftwerk's Trans-Europe Express (I think).
The gong at the end might be from a prog record, but more likely a generic sample CD or sound effects record. Gong hit samples are a dime a dozen.

Intro hi-hats sound like Crimso's Indoor Games (but probably a coincidence).
 
The guys that sampled Ritual clearly didn't realise that melody was in 5/4! Silly people...

Aha, looks like I might have managed to stump people!
 
Alright, here's a clue-  you're looking at the wrong elements. The sample is the "are you ready" vocal that comes in behind the beat. And the artist's name begins with M.
 
Any takers?

As I said, it's not really relevant if you like hip-hop. It's just a game you can play to see who has a wide range of prog knowledge (so they know the sampled song in the first place) and who is good at detecting, recognising and recalling the sample.

Basically if you can't do it, you're not a *real* prog fan at all.
 
(That's the gauntlet thrown down) ;)

My point is I'm not going to listen to this awful (imo) song again.

So I'm not a "real" prog fan......so what?Ermm

Yeah I noticed that sample and replayed it many times but couldn't place who it was, I almost wanted to say David Bowie, but didn't.

Ok, I'll looked it up, and I don't know the song nor the album, sorry. I think, it's too difficult. (Probably not for M... fans, though.)

Ah well, I'll relent.
 
The sample is from Planetary Citizen by Mahavishnu Orchestra,
 
Sample appears at 1:03.
 
 
 
Alright so I stumped you once. Here's an easier one:
 
 
Good old De La Soul.

Your not talkin about the Steely Dan sample(s) are you, I didn't even have to play your clip for that one. I love that De la album.
The whistle parts are Otis Redding.

By the way, it was great hearing that old Mahavishnu cut. That brought back memories, I forgot how funky they became, thats a great track except that one falsetto voice is not good.

Yep it was the Steely Dan sample I was looking for. There are Redding samples in there too but in this thread I will only be looking at samples from artists on PA.

 
Without looking it up, do you remember the name of the Steely Dan song?
