...the good...
'Hard Knock Life' combines an unusual sample with a 'message' that blends perfectly to form Jay-Z's 'Ghetto Anthem.' The sample, in this case makes the song better.
...the bad...
Ah, the glorious 'Will 2K.' Which samples from 'Rock The Casbah.' Shudder, shudder, shudder...
...the just plain ugly...
Nelly and the hook from AC/DC's 'Back In Black.' MUST. STOP. EARS. BLEEDING. Some things you just don't do. This is one of them.
...the merely all right...
The new one from Cypress Hill, this song is like 'meh' and samples from CSNY's 'Judy Blue Eyes.' Good effort from Cypress Hill and I think it's OK to sample from somewhat obscure classics like 'Judy Blue Eyes.' Kanye did the same thing for 'Touch The Sky' laying down the horns from a Curtis Mayfield track (the one that wasn't 'Superfly').
