Sampled: Isaac Hayes
by be.
This here is a selection of hip hop tracks inspired by the legend, the late, Isaac Hayes.
The compilation consists of tracks we all know and love that sampled such classics as “Walk On By”, “The Look Of Love”, and “The Theme from Shaft”.
It’s unfortunate that in the same way James Brown seemed to become a forgotten Godfather of not only funk and soul, but of Hip-Hop music, some of us are guilty of failing to recognize the great achievements and contributions many of these artists have made to our culture while they are still living.
