"They say a party ain't a party 'til the West at it"
Just last night, the Los Angeles Lakers finished their regular season, reigning supreme as back-to-back top seed picks in the Western Conference. As the Lake Show doubled up, I decided to put together the second volume of our D.I.T.C. series, this time featuring a hometown hero: Dr. Dre. You might recognize some of these classic samples, many of which were the source for co-productions with beatsmiths like DJ Yella, Sam Sneed, Mel-Man and Mahogany. My aim, once again, was to present a well-rounded selection of cuts that Dr. Dre has popularized through his beats - most of which I would have never heard had he never sampled them! The tracklisting plays in an almost-chronological order, spanning over two decades worth of spun soul, jazz, and of course – funk! As for the artwork, Lakers purple and gold was a prerequisite.
Like we always do around this time, the ID3 tags are a bit different from our sample sets. I’ve removed the "['...']" data, opting towards a simpler tagging of just the original song titles. But like we did with Volume One, I encourage you to try to figure out which Dre beat sampled which of the included tracks, by participating in the comments section. So I guess the main question is: Are you up on your sample knowledge? Prove it!
The Lakers are going for the gold this year; and the party’s just begun. Enjoy… and turn it up!!

SAMPLE GAME UPDATE:The Amazon player embedded above contains tracks #1 through #23 EXCEPT for #22 - "Hollywood Hot". That track was sampled for "Bad Intentions" by Dre & Knoc-turn'al, hence the reason I included it as a Mid-Day Insomniacs Club post. Phat shouts to everybody who participated in HHIR's DITC sample game. See you next time for Volume Three...

"Express Yourself" samples "Express Yourself"
:D
Joe Cocker's "Woman to Woman" = "California Love"
Good one(s).
+ Mike Brant's "Mais Dans La Lumiere" = "Crack a Bottle"
+ "Bumpy's Lament" = "Xxplosive"
*Keep in mind that Dre didn't directly sample anything in his post-N.W.A. work, rather he had his team of instrumentalists replay the parts he liked, usually with slight tweaks.
How the hell did Dre come across THIS one??? haha..

The Brass Construction joint is sampled on "I Ain't That 1".
Don't fuck with me on N.W.A. sample info, hah!
I don't believe it, though... That low-tuned siren at the beginning (0:23 in the video) coulda came from anywhere, and there's nothing else in the rest of the song that sounds remotely like it originated from "Ironside."
@BHM: What the hell is "Nuthin' But a G Thang?"
It's actually from, ahem, here:
