I thought this might be a good thread to start, especially considering the Kanye and Ghostface albums, which I love, missing some of the artists' best work (Luckily, some of the Ghost tracks were picked up for the pretty damn good theodore unit album). This post is inspired by two tracks in particular.
1. Jacki-O's "Zoom," a Commodores-sampling cut that makes great use of the inspiring hook of the original.
and
2. Freeway's "Night Shift," coincidentally another Commodores sample with some amazing verses from Freeway and Memphis Bleek. Both of these songs could be career highlights for the artists, but unfortunately will be unlikely to make it outside of the mixtape circuit.
Anyone have any other great examples?
