Blige “Take Me As I Am”, ABN, Total and Young Jeezy for current hit “Leave You Alone” featuring Ne-Yo.
Ski Beatz was the first one to sample it. He filtered the bassline, use Nas’s vocals from “The World Is Yours (Q-Tip Remix)” and add drums from A Tribe Called Quest “Oh My God (Remix)”. I gotta give props to the dude for sampling this record.
I’m still spending money from ’88. But if the head right, Jeezy there every night.

“Here’s a tissue, stop your blood clot crying/The kids the dogs, everybody dying no lying”
This song for the Sample Saturdays is “I Wonder Why” by late legendary musician Billy Preston. It’s from his 1972 album called Music Is My Life.
This song was sampled by The Notorious B.I.G. on the original version of his 1997 song called You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You). The original version was produced by DJ Enuff and Jiv Pov. The sample wasn’t cleared so it was replayed on Biggie’s 1997 classic album Life After Death. The Life After Death version was produced by Diddy and Steven “Stevie J.” Jordan.
I read a article on HipHopDX.com about Jiv Pos producing the original version ofYou’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You) but he and DJ Enuff produced it on AKAI MPC 3000 in 1995.
The OG version is better than the album version.
R.I.P. Biggie Smalls.
