Around the World in ONE Legendary Hip Hop Sample
🕑 Added 2024-04-05 16:00:14 +0000 UTCToday, we’re going to cover a lot of ground, by way of this song, “Genius of Love” by Tom Tom Club. I’ll go ahead and tell you everywhere that we’re going, but you’ll have to see how we get there. We’re gonna talk about Tom Tom Club, sure, but then also Zapp, Common, Paul Simon, J Dilla, ACDC, Grandmaster Flash, The Talking Heads, Kurtis Blow, Fela Kuti, and just when we can’t go any deeper, we’re gonna loop it back and around and connect the whole thing together.
NOTE: This is the extended cut that is over 5 minutes longer than YouTube and does not include a sponsor.

Wow. I didn’t know what I was missing. I guess I got to dig into talking heads now.

Great video! Learned a lot. I *think* I know the sample from Redman's Brick City Mashin'?
Josh Nelson
Love the "humor stabs" (Fela sfx bit).

I heard a Hip Hop tune today that sampled Once in a Lifetime but I can’t remember the name of the rapper. Need to head over to Who Sampled lol
