"Poll question: Who used the "Las Vegas Tango"-sample best?"


  

          

With Schoolboy Q's new track with Raekwon, "Blind Threats", being out, and with a for a lot of folks a recognized sample by Gary Burton, the question is; Who used it best?
It's very difficult to choose one, all really good tracks, and the first four has Top-20 producers behind the bord. In my own opinion, No ID was first and used another part of the original song, even though for just the intro to the Common-track. Muggs used the sample the others then used and put the standards, and Havoc and RZA both twisted it up a little bit to the better, but overall I think Hav' came out the hardest. Lord Quest I think came out a bit a lazy on it, still a hot track though. What do y'all think?

Common didn't really rap over it on "In My Own World"; No ID looped part of it (a part no one else really uses) as an interlude before the track.

Oh shit, I didn't know Da Beatminerz also used this, nice!
About the Common track, I wrote that No ID only used it for the intro, and that I liked it cause he was innovative (even though he perhaps was first using it) and used another part of the original than most other been using. I still put Havoc's use first though. Probably then RZA, but after that the BCC-track.

I think "Tres Leches" is the best song among them all, when including the artists ..But I still go with that Havoc made the best beat and best use of the sample in my opinion.

"Call me Mr Bent, I'm at where your sister went"

It got one of my favorite starting lines!
"Some people tell me that I need help
Some people can fuck off and go to hell"

I think both Muggs and B-Real were on their top on this album, absolutely their best in my opinion!
