No doubt one of the best Hip Hop songs ever. But as far as sampling goes this isn't very interesting...

This really is one of the classics, but it's interesting to note that Ice Cube wasn't the first one to use this sample. Compton's Most Wanted did that 2 years earlier on "Can I Kill It?" in a very similar way.
