One great song. One great sample. Three fantastic songs.

From the intro of the beautiful “Be Real Black for Me” by Donny Hathaway and past Sound guest Roberta Flack came two of my favorite hip-hop tracks: first M.O.P.’s “World Famous,” then Scarface’s “My Block.”

Donny Hathaway & Roberta Flack, “Be Real Black For Me” (1972)

M.O.P. “World Famous” (1996)

Scarface “My Block” (2002)
