classical music in hip hop

[tricky spinz]

have you ever been listening to a hip hop or rap song and then all of the sudden you're like "i know i've heard that melody in some classical piece" and then you look through all your classical music and find it?

well, that just happened to me, except in reverse. i was just listening to this classical piece written by Faure called Pavane for Guitar and String Orchestra and all of the sudden i recognized it as something i'd heard before in some Bliss n Eso song.

so i went searchin through and sure enough i found it in this song Greenhouse by bliss n eso on their mixtape.


so, any of you guys had this same thing happen or anyone care to list their favorite hip hop/rap songs that sample classical pieces? classic, i know you gotta have somethin for me.

are we talkin about sampling here or recreating the same melody with keyboard sounds?

Actually Paparazzi is a sample from a Billy Joel song that had the sample in it. An Battle Cry is a classic rock sample.

Anybody remember the Latin Rascals?
They used to play Synth classical peices with like Break Dance beats , shit was hot then.
Nas-I know I can!!! *ducks* J/K
I hate to say it but that P-Diddy "You can hate me now" (O Fortuna) was a good beat.
Someone needs to flip the big ass Ode to Joy rendition the British did when they returned
Hong Kong to the Chinese.
Or just post that shit to flip cuz that would be a hot flip!!!
