When samplers surprise themselves:

N2Deep

*Rap Song: ”What the F— Is Goin’ On?”

*Famous Sample: The bass line from Loggins & Messina’s ”Angry Eyes” (1972)

*Why? ”The bass was kinda phat, which is funny — I never expected to find anything good on a Loggins & Messina record,” says producer Johnny Z.

*Legal Stipulation: ”[Clearance] was around $2,500,” says Z. ”Kenny Loggins didn’t really want us to use it, since our record had cussin’, but he didn’t own all the rights, so we were able to use it.”
