Spotted: "Woodstock" Sample


This one was requested via the CBOX, from a HHIReader who goes by the name of "1", who wanted to know which Sly & the Family Stone song was sampled on Slaughterhouse's semi-new track "Woodstock" featuring M.O.P. Luckily, A) I'm a fan of Sly Stone and the fam, B) 1 gave me the name of the sampled artist's name, and C) the song's title "Woodstock" kinda gives you a hint of where to look, so this one wasn't too much of a challenge. That and I recognized the sample the first time I heard the track, mainly because of A. :D

It's the intro to Sly & the Family Stone's amazing "I Wanna Take You Higher", from their '69 album Stand! Above, I've included a YouTube clip featuring the studio recording of the track. Below, I've included the Live at Woodstock performance of the single, as well as Slaugherhouse's "Higher"-sampling "Woodstock" track with M.O.P. Phat shouts to IllRoots. Enjoy!
