If I'm not mistaken I believe it is a fact that B.I.G. Is the most sampled hip hop artist

That site is good but not really that accurate, a lot of the songs they claimed had sample are either the artist sampling himself, or just quotes and not scratches or covers ect

biggie is dead so he got an "edge" so to speak and slick rick got sampled a lot but 80% of his sample comes from just one song of his
yeah... but nas only has 10 albums worth of more material or some... :leostare:
i think it even outs mate :ehh:

How does biggie have an edge for being dead?

And Mind you biggie only has 2 albums while Nas has like 10.

To me that's more impressive because it's less material to be sampled from. Hip hop has been eating off big's first 2 albums for 15 plus years now. Id bet good money that RTD/LAD are two of the top 5 most sampled albums in hip hop since 2000

Yea according to that Big has been sampled 783 times, Nas has been sampled 663 times.


According to that site:
Mobb Deep - 383 /Prodigy - 55
Slick Rick - 763
BDP - 532 / KRS One - 363
Eric B & Rakim - 736 / Rakim - 45
If those figures are correct then KRS is the most sampled as he pretty much was BDP.

Not really a sample like what the thread starter meant but the cella dwellas incorporated a nas line as the main hook/song title... And it was dope
