[SEAHAWKJONES]

The first time I heard Be thankful for what you got sampled was by Doug E. Fresh in Crazy Bout Cars. Diamond in the back, sunroof top, chillin in the scence with a gangsta lean, ohhohhhohhhhhhh. I miss the beat box and DJ scratchin from old school hip hop.

[abominablewarzone]

[Mixamyte1]

@EmperorTokugawa Yup, yup. The flip side to Can U Feel It was always my shit, "Knowledge Me". *-see Master Ace.

[slugworth28]

Why diss this guy, hes enthuastic, sing, dance he can do what he feels. Haters are just jealous cause they've been put down so much the've lost all their own child hood enthusaism and excitement, they cant believe some adults still have it.

[BGPanda]

Lenchmob "Ain't Got No Class"

I Always wondered where they got the sample voiceover, where they say "We'll shut this mother fucker down!"

[AdrianaJoie]

[cakafella]

DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT DOING YOUR VIDEOS BY RAP ARTISTS? LIKE COVERING A PARTICULARS ARTISTS SONGS CHRONOLOGICALLY? IM STILL WORKIN MY WAY THRU YA VIDEOS. STILL WAITIN ON ISSAC HAYES, BOB JAMES, AND DEXTER WANSELL.

[TutsRevenge]

Description of a Fool- anyone who would rather listen to "lil anyone" over ATCQ

[mccoy1303]

Living Prove that this Culture is the ultimate Universal!!

[chet732003]

The Champ-Mohawks was taken from Otis Redding-----The cut "Tramp"

[aquabeats2]

the song the beasties used is great, and don't give me that steely dan face., steely dan is pretty good.

[aquabeats2]

that beastie boys sample is awesome.... sounds like jamirqoui likes them

[cityratt]

The Champ was also used by the Fu Shnickens for "La Schmoove". I don't believe that one was mentioned... or maybe I missed it.

[DatSoulBoss]

The first time that I remember "Champ" being sampled was when it was chopped with "Let A Woman Be A Woman" on the 12'' "Fusion Beats" back in 82/83.

Great stuff, especially pulling out that Gladys Knight & The Pips sample.

[kerollos]

you should contact vh1 so you can pitch a pilot or a program

[S13Sldewayz]

Hey funktuall, in light of the mohawks sample, you might wanna check out "Shame on a Ni**a by Wu Tang. That break will hit you like Tyson.

[kidjuggernaut]

hey man like i thought curtis mayfield made diamond in the back

[ersiees]

dude you got soul!

[robalsen]

hey man you clearly know a lot about hip hop and music in general. Ive wondered for a long time where the "LOUDER" sample that can be heard on many songs like EPMD's strictly business and countless others, nas, tribe, kanye everyone has used it

[funktuall]

@robalsen You can find that one on Rock N Roll Samples Part 1

[peteypete1984]

@robalsen alchemist and hacov love that sample dialted peoples babu 2 same camp pretty much

[blkball23]

I know I heard Wu-Tang's "shame on a nigga" in there.

[bluessiren78]

Oh my GOD! You are a KING for stripping all of this down. I have watched every one of your editions and trumped all my friends calling out the samples right when you did! It brings me so much joy. I LOVE IT! It's not about black or white, at all. It's about gettin down to the old school jams and respecting their origins. I love all of your posts! Keep em comin!

[jayroc2k]

how does he keep the hype in his voice consistent across all videos!

[whatthehellvideos]

[FedExHumper]

i wonder y he hasnt mentioned the Debarge - "Stay with me" for B.I.G. "one more chance"

[FedExHumper]

He should do a tribute on ALL the Issac Hayes songs that have been used.

[dnjp4life]

Funktuall has done a special Issac Hayes edition if you check out his channel.

[wheresrolie]

I've sat through episodes I - XXXV! This is my 2nd time around!!! Hey Funktuall, when does the Box Set come out???

[nethstar]

I have to say, sir, you are on the mark with these samples. Good to know you actually TELL people the details behind some of the samples...

This isn't just stating samples...its opening up peoples ears to other outlets of music they may have not ventured to before. And for that, i thank you.

Keep it up Fella.

P.S: Do you know any more bands that were break-beaters, like The Soul Searchers?

[djkenstone]

Yo MTV Samples

[hugovea]

I would love to find out the sample on dream warriors 'wash your face in my sink'. I think it is El Watusi, but not sure who by. Keep the grooves coming my man, sould brother #2!

[3500P5]

Superb stuff,you know your shit dog!

[suchaladynone]

Between The sheets - Don't forget "Lips" By Andre Nickatina as Dre Dog And Common's "Breaker 1/9"

I would say Da Brat's "Funkdafied" But her use of the song wasn't an actual sample because Jermaine Dupri re-created the same beat but used different instruments like piano

[djkaneck1]

You need a TV Show, seriously!!! Called "DysFuntual". Keep up the good vids, thank you.

[blankbanz]

[kenyattacm]

I can't believe with his infinite knowledge of hip-hop samples, he called Mtume, (mem-tu-may) m-tume. lol!!

[sloppyfupas]

[sxysharon1]

[elpablodpelpa]

Brethren, I never knew dat Outkast sampled a funk beat for So Fresh and so Clean. Yuh bad fi real.

[biggerchris20]

That Mohawk joint sounds real close to Onyx's "SLAM let da boys be boys" too. The sounds a little different but really close.

[weeszel]

[therealtracysson]

#6 also starts "A Milli" by Lil' Wayne....

[bkdblr]

Big up to Kum Kau on Myrtle.....best Chinese spot in BK

Da Brat sampled Between the Sheets for Funkdafied before Biggie sampled it for Big Poppa

[SuperSaiyanRayBlade]

I'm surprised you haven't done David Mcallum's The Edge. People trip whenever I play that song.

[SuperSaiyanRayBlade]

"Here comes the Puba and you know I won't fake it,

usually bust records on gettin butt naked..."

Puba is the shit.

Mah-toom? It's pronounced "Em-2-May"
