Best uses of a sample
Some songs have sampled other songs and I really thought some of those samples were really well used. Two examples for me would be SOS by Rihanna which sampled Tainted Love by Soft Cell and Berzerk by Eminem which sampled The Stroke by Billy Squier. What other uses of a sample did you like?

Thank you for mentioning that song. I remember saying at the time of the song's release that it was a good use of a sample
It was only on a section of the original song, but Beyonce saw the potential and really went for it, it forms the basis of her song.

There's a demo version of the song that leaked onto Youtube without the sample. It sounds so plain and boring without it, the sample really livened it up.
Britney Spears - Up N' Down
Leona Lewis - Favourite Scar
Toni Braxton - Take This Ring
Alexandra Burke - Fear Of Flying
Lily Allen - LDN
Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
Rihanna - Jump & G4L

Love the uses of samples in these songs.
I love 'Are You My Woman' very nearly as much as 'Crazy In Love'.

(human league - being boiled, chaka kahn - aint nobody) fantastic marriage of two great tracks.
Yes. This is brilliant.
It sampled an Enya track.
It was a good song "back in the day"..

Massive Attack - Safe from Harm

Such a tune!
I love that song.
Uses Sheila B Devotion's 'Spacer'
De La Soul's brilliant 'Eye Know'
Uses Steely Dan's 'Peg' and Otis 'Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay'
which itself was a reworking of the delfonics hit from 71 (i think) 'ready or not here i come'
