Top 4 Hip Hop Songs with Gospel Samples

Hip Hop has always been influenced by other genres and great sounds. Producers sample songs and remaster them into new beats. Hip-Hop lately has incorporated more Gospel sounds. Chance The Rapper, and Kanye West both play major rolls in the innovation of rap and gospel. These artists use their artistry to reach people all around the world, and spread the good news and sounds. Chance the Rappers latest mixtape Coloring Book features at least 7 out of 14 gospel samples and melodic tunes. Kanye West recent album, The Life of Pablo album Kanye West features 2 out of 19 gospel songs. Both Chi-town artists continue to amaze fans with their diverse sounds. Giving "the kids" something new and beneficial to listen to, something we all can relate to from young to old. There many other artists that include Gospel music just as samples with hard beats, or as a testimony that people can relate to.


1. I Dont F*ck With You - Big Sean ft. E-40

Derogatory song, indeed. But, DJ Mustard, Kanye West, and Mike Free produced this song sampling gospel song "Say You Love Me One More Time" by D.J. Rogers speeded up (chipmunk style).



2. 3 Kings - Rick Ross feat. Dr. Dre and Jay Z

Producer Jake One sampled gospel soul sound I'm So Grateful (Keep in Touch) by The Crowns of Glory. In February 2013, he was sued for using the sample without the proper copyright, or compensation.



3. Jesus Walks by Kanye West

Kanye produced his own track Jesus Walks, with 5 samples. One of those samples being a gospel song Walk with Me by The Arc Choir. Yes, this was all Ye.



4. Furthest Thing by Drake

Drakes producer 40 uses a sample from Corinthian Temple Logic Choir, Hold on for We're Going Home. Quite ironic, considering the fact that Drake has a song called Just Hold On We're Going Home on this Album, Nothing Was The Same. The sample appears at 0:45 on Furthest Thing.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
