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.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
