Yeah, it’s a shame, his albums are all great, however (Drogas and Tetsuo and Youth are pretty good too).

Irish Celebration by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

@EPPony  
Indeed

I’m Not a Player - Big Pun
 
The beat is just so magical, I wish I could find more beats like this one.

@100SGX  
The beat to that song is a sample of the 1979 song “A Little Bit Of Love” by Brenda Russell.
 
Fun Fact: That same sample and beat was also used in the 2013 pop hit “The Way” by Ariana Grande feat. Mac Miller

@ILoveMyoozik  
That’s from Still Not a Player, the beat in that one is from Steve Khan’s Darlin’ Darlin’ Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love), which in itself is a cover of the same song by the O Jays, which is also sampled in I’m Not a player.

@EPPony  
Huh, I never knew that Big Pun had a song like that. I always thought he just had “Still Not A Player”, because the only other song I know that has “I’m Not A Player” as the title is the one by R&B singer Joe, which is what “Still Not A Player” interpolates.
 
Edit: Actually, scratch that, the Joe song is called “Don’t Wanna Be A Player”. I wanna die now… :,)

I thought at first this song was a remix of Still Not a Player until I actually had to do some research. I was surprised and amazed at the same time.
 
@EPPony  
I just find amazing how both of you knew exactly what samples were used for both songs.

@100SGX  
I know a thing or two when it comes to samples.

@100SGX  
I did a little bit of digging to find out about it.

Safe + Sound - DJ Quik
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
Your username obviously doesn’t lie.
 
@EPPony  
Yeah, I kinda imagined that.

Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood

California Love Pt.2 - 2Pac ft. Dr. Dre, Roger Troutman
 
This song is the very first rap song I ever heard. And after these years I still love it.

@100SGX  
An alltime classic and one of my favorite uses of the vocoder ever because of Roger Troutman.

Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by The Offspring  
(Is it just me, or does the bassline for this song sound like the theme of “King Of The Hill”?)

C’mon Let Me Ride by Skylar Grey feat. Eminem  
(This song is so awful, yet I can’t stop listening to it! DX)

Death Grips - Hot Head  
This song makes me laugh, though the crazy electronics are really cool too.

One pissed off thunderstorm.

Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Niki French (Bonnie Tyler cover)

@Hypnosryan  

Carpathian Forest - Sadomasochistic

If by Janet Jackson

Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka - Heltah Skeltah
 
The hardest and most underrated song from the most underrated rap duo of all time.
