Hip-hop and rap music loves samples. These are some of my favourite samples/instrumentals that producers used in the 2000s. Hip-Hop's relationship with samples is legendary. From its very conception, the genre has looked to loop sections of other tracks and transform them into some of the biggest and most famous hip-hop songs of all time. But sometimes its done so well that you don't even realise it's a sample, so sit back and join us as we look at some of the best Hip-Hop samples ever.

Hip-hop has arguably been the most polarizing genre of music in the past two decades. As hip-hop maintains its title, a lot has changed about the genre, such as the lyrics. In popular songs such as “Changes” by Tupac and “Juicy” by Biggie Smalls, the artists explain how they went from “negative to positive” as Biggie put it. Old school hip-hop is still popular today and is regarded as “classic” by many hip-hop fans. Rappers from today’s generation sing typically about girls, money, and cars they have. Some even sing about how they do drgs, drink alchl, and party which sets a bad example for some listeners. Some of these rappers today did not have it as hard as rappers back in the old days. People who grew up listening to Tupac, Biggie and so on typically do not enjoy hip-hop in today’s era. Songs written when rap was introduced were more lyrical because rappers were able to tell a story using words that rhyme and flow. But to each his own... I guess.
