Changes & Subtleties in 35 years of Pop Music

Isaac Hayes - Hung up on my Baby (1974)




Geto Boys - Mind playing Tricks on Me (1991)




2nd II None - If You Want It (1991)




Glass Candy - Geto Boys (2008)



P.S. Bad luck for 2nd II none that "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" flipped that sample a bit better and became the anthem of 1991 while they stayed largely unnoticed. Their 1991 debut album (produced by DJ Quik) is a soulful and funky piece of pre G-funk West Coast gangsta rap ... highly underrated. Check out the first single off that album which is sampling another classic ... Curtis Mayfield this time.
