Beastie Boys Samples


Beastie Boys Sample Source Collection

Many many years ago, I embarked on a quest to source and track down every song that had ever been sampled, looped, or scratched by Beastie Boys. I drew inspiration from the phenomenal Ultimate Breaks and Beats records which I started collecting in 1991 as they introduced me to the full songs that I had only heard in sampled form. Flash forward to a rainy afternoon in 1996while digging in the bins at Uncle Sam's Records, I stumbled onto the bootleg pressing of B-Boy Breaks: 12 Original Tunes as Sampled by Beastie Boys. Hearing these tracks in their entirety as opposed to a quick sample, stab, or loop absolutely blew my mind. From that point forward, I went deep into a world of obscure jazz, funk, dub, hip-hop and comedy albums. Most of these were personally ripped from vinyl, CD, and in a few cases, cassette tapes. It goes without saying that not every sample, scratch, or drum break can or ever will be identified, but this compilation is probably as close as it's gonna get.

Much love, gratitude, and respect is owed to Beastie Boys for introducing us to some amazing music via sampling that may otherwise not be heard, let alone acknowledged in this light. I also want to thank everybody that has shared knowledge and/or provided me with any of the tracks that were used to compile this amazing piece of hip-hop historyNaturally, thanks to everyone that has downloaded, mixed, and shared these tracks over the years! I plan to keep BBSSC updated as fresh new finds are unearthed and corrections are made, however I have a feeling those updates will be few and far between. If you feel that anything has been missed, incorrectly reported, or if you have any suggestions, please drop me a line: alohamiscreant[at]gmail.com

NOTE: After reading Beastie Boys Book, and with regards to So Whatcha Want, it turns out that the riffs from I've Been Watching You by Southside Movement were NOT sampled, but rather interpolated live in the studio by Horovitz and Money Mark. I've decided to keep this track in the collection because frankly; it's an awesome joint and deserves to be heard! I know this contradicts my omission of Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath as it wasn't sampled for Rhymin and Stealin, but served as a source of inspiration with that grimy-ass guitar riff. Since we're speaking inspiration, you should definitely check out Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite The World) by The Undisputed Truth. You'll hear some neat similarities to Something's Got To Give and Namaste.
