Who Rocked The Sample Best: Snoop vs Richie Rich

[CSquare43]

Disclaimer: Really just showing love to both these dope ass songs (all 3 really)...

Sohh....

In 1981, this dropped:

Spoiler: Bernard Wright - Haboglabotribin

And then in 1989, Richie Rich dropped this track, sampling the song above. You could NOT ride in any city in the Bay in '89 (EP) &' 90 (Album) without hearing this slapping out of cars with monstrous sound systems...

Spoiler: 415 - Snitches and Bit*hes

Then this happened:

The reason I formed 213 with Warren G and Nate Dogg is because Richie Rich had a group called 415. I was lovin' his style and voice which I incorporated into my style when I first started rapping."- Snoop Doggy Dogg

And in 1993 Snoop dropped this classic (shot out to the cassette tape crew, this wasn't on the CD):

Spoiler: Snoop - Gz and Hustlas

Notable spots in the songs:

S&B:

... but yet and still...

.. My Zapco hitting so hard the lights clipping... (if you know, you know)..

.. Double R, tell that hoe to make like the mothafuc*in Duke Boys and crawl through the muthafuc*in window...

G&H:
... but yet and still...



The whole damn song is nuts.

Shot out to RR and Snoop for freaking this track...


And yeah,

both classic but I give the edge to Snoop for it being a freestyle (I think)

Both Snoop and Richie Rich got a top 5 GOAT rap voice

@CSquare43 you know you can't compare.

Cats was throwing linn drums over samples, mixed it and called it a day in the mid 80s.

Dre really took the interploitation of the sample and made his version.

Rich is one of my all time favorites but Snoop killed this...

Im gonna give it to Rich, but from his second go at the beat, only because it sounds cleaner.

I'm bias since I'm from the Yay so I'm going with Richie rich
