![]() ![]() The unforgettable chorus and piano were used in the iconic MF DOOM track, “Doomsday,” where he outlined his own death and journey through the music industry. The soothing voice of Sade and touching piano melodies come together to make a timeless track from one of the best female vocalists of the time. RIYL: Steely Dan, Don Henley, Eddie Money Eric Prydz uses the chorus of “Valerie” in his song “Call on Me,” an unforgettable and catchy tune. Steve Winwood, one of the more dominant vocalists of the 1980s, performs at his best for “Valerie.” Encapsulating the classic synths of the era with great vocal performances makes it clear why this song was chosen as the sample to one of the most prolific tech house songs of all time. RIYL: John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie Rigol delivers a very calming and mellow vibe on this track, which is in very stark contrast to much of Scott’s earlier work. The song uses much of Rigol’s piano performance from “Itinerario romantico” after the beat switches. “Itinerario romantico” is a fully instrumental track that was sampled in Travis Scott’s 2015 track, “90210,” one of the most celebrated songs in his discography. In this week’s 13 Beats, I set forth a list of commonly sampled songs that you may have heard in works by popular artists. Sampling allows artists to channel their creativity and inspiration from past bodies of work. One of Pac’s most popular posthumous singles, you can listen to ‘Changes’ in the video below.Sampling music is the practice of taking a preexisting song, sound or snippet and putting a creative spin on it in order to incorporate it into a new piece of music. However, the track reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and did well across Europe, even becoming a number-one hit in Norway and the Netherlands. The track performed surprisingly poorly in the US, peaking at 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. ![]() The other eleven songs include ‘Don Giovanni’ by Mozart, the Vatican’s own ‘Advocata Nostra,’ featuring the voice of Pope Benedict XVI, ‘Uprising’ by Muse and ‘After The Rain’ from Dame Shirley Bassey’s 2009 album, The Performance. The song had such an impact The Vatican surprisingly included it on their MySpace playlist. Some of the verses are from the R U Still Down (Remember Me) album. The verses themselves were pieced together from other material. ![]() ‘Changes’ is pieced together from several other songs. The song samples Bruce Hornsby’s 1986 song ‘The Way It Is’ and addresses racial tensions, poverty, homelessness, and violence on the streets, saying: “Some things will never change.” However, not all of the lyrics featured in the song were originally for the track. However, the released version from the rapper’s posthumous Greatest Hits album was the Trackmasters remix of the original. The song was initially produced by one of 2pac’s producers Big D The Impossible. The song released in 1998 was, in fact, a remixed version of a similar song that the rapper had recorded in 1992 but never released. Digging deeper, in this article, we’ll be looking Behind the Mic to discover the story behind 2pac’s 1998 hit ‘Changes’ and bring you facts no one else knows about on how this classic was made. Aside from the famous ‘Ghetto Gospel’ featuring Elton John, one of 2pac’s most beloved posthumous singles is ‘Changes’ featuring the group Talent. That being said, even though he made some anthems while he was alive such as ‘California Love’ and ‘I Get Around’, many 2pac fans also love his posthumous records. Tupac knew of his popularity and power, which is why he described his music as “America’s Most Wanted” and, in a 1996 interview with MTV, inferred that Bad Boy “sell a couple of records, we sell large amounts of records.” The rapper was aware of how many units he was actually moving. Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre, Lil Kim and Diddy, were ruling the rap charts and selling unfathomable amounts of records with their feud actually fuelling sales. ![]() Respectively, these two artists, with their affiliates i.e. Both companies had their own stars, with Pac signed to Death Row, and Biggie Smalls signed to Bad Boy. When we’re looking back at hip hop in the 1990s, we’re looking (for the most part) at two feuding record labels, Death Row Records on the West Coast and Badboy Entertainment on the East Coast. ![]()
