Songs remade from oldies?

Question

Preferably HIP HOP.
But any will do.
Thank you. =)

Answer 1

Most popular Hip-hop songs have sampled or remade some "oldies" .

Beyonces' Naughty Girl stole from Donna Summer sexual classic "Love to Love You Baby", her 'Crazy in Love' stole from the funk classic The Chi-Lites' "Are You My Woman (Tell Me So), Coolio ripped of Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder for Ganstas Paradise (even funnier because he complained about Weird AL ripping him off and ruining his message), Coolio also stole things for his hits 1,2,3,4 and Too Hot.

Will Smith's 'Just The Two Of Us' Steals from Grover Washington Jrs. 'Just The Two Of Us', his 'Wild Wild West', steals from Stevie Wonder's "I Wish".

'I Like The Way You Move' is exactly the same as the original EW&F classic except that added that annoying rap.

Hammer's 'U Can't Touch This' ripped of Rick James' 'Super Freak'.

'Bootylicious' Stole from Stevie Nicks rock'n 'Wild Ranger'.

Vanilla Ice everyone knows... the chump.

Hall & Oates "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" has been ripped off in countless hip-hop songs.

There are of course millions more.

I have to say, at least the black artists are mostly stealing from other black artists, which I find odd.

Anyway... here's a tip I learned in my music classes if it's hip-hop or rap it probably has beats that are rock, funk, blues, jazz, or soul from years before. The reason this is done is because most young people don't know the originals and so are not aware the artists they like are are really just stealing from the trailblazers because they can't think of anything new. Granted there are a few hip-hop/rap artists paving doing new thing but most are not and those that really broke new ground did it in the 90s when hip-hop was new and vital to the community it represented (before whitey took over and cashed in). In most cases these covers or rip-offs I mean, "samples" are not doing the originals justice at all. So educate yourselves people because Stevie Wonder is ten times better than any hip-hop rapper that came out in the last ten years because he did it all himself and sampled no one.

Answer 2

I don't consider sampling to be the same thing as remaking a song. Sampling only takes bits and pieces of songs and repeats them over and over again. Remaking a song means doing an entirely new version of the whole song, not little bits of it.

Answer 3

greater motives; Cam'ron i might particularly F*** Wit You; Eazy-E party existence; Jay-Z (have been given a real Ol' Skool experience 2 It) on the instant became a howdy; Ice cube Ol' English; sport (Ol' Skool experience returned, yet fairly advantageous) i might Definately look into some Kanye tho.
