Five Songs...

...for the week. Seeing as a lot of you want a type of order or relevance for these songs, I'm making this week's five all about beats and the songs they were sampled from (For those of you who don't know what sampling is in hiphop, its the practice of cutting up a song from any genre of music and using certain elements to forge a beat) Here goes...

1. "Curve" by Cam'ron. (2009) Original Sample: "For You" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
2. "I'm Housin" by EPMD (1988) Original Sample: "Rock Steady" by Aretha Franklin
3. "I Can't Go to Sleep" by The Wu-Tang Clan feat. Isaac Hayes. (2000) Original Sample: "Walk on By" by Isaac Hayes
4. "Threat" by Jay-Z (2003) Original Sample: "A Woman's Threat" by R. Kelly
