Who Flipped It Best?

Too many times to count,producers have flipped the same samples. But, sometimes it works out well, depending on how they use it. What drums they use, what kind of bass, who's rhyming, how they chopped it up- these are just a few of the variables to take into consideration. Sometimes it's just what your favorite song is out of the bunch. Check these joints out to determiine which song made the best usage of the sample. Let us know in the comments.

Original: Bob James - Feel Like Making Love

1. Two Outta Millions - Land Of Lyricism

2. Esteem(East Flatbush Project) - Can't Hold It Back

3. Tony Bones - Come Upstairs

4. Mannish - Tasha's Room

For me, it came down to the East Flatbush Project produced Esteem song "Can't Hold It Back" and the Prince Po produced Tony Bones track. Po really went off on this one. The extra violin sample,the ill note variations he worked,and Tony Bones entertaining as always rhymes, put this song over the top for me.

But don't sleep on the Esteem joint.He may sound like he was a bit too influenced by Tim Dog or Freshco, but he drops some classic one liners. He rips from beginning to end. And the production is tight.Dirty drums,knocking bass,ill horns,the moan type sample on the hook-I don't know if I could honestly pick a winner here.

The Mannish and Two Outta Millions cuts are well put together,too.

Props to Blockhead for blessing the Philaflava website with the Tony Bones track.

Props to chillhood for looking out on the "Land of Lyricism" track.

And as usual, props to CharlieManson for the Esteem song.
