Unloaded Clipse
Clipse, known as the greatest thing ever, recorded four albums. One is incredible (Lord Willin'). Just listen to "Grindin'"
Original vs Sample vs Other Sample
Wendy Rene's "After Laughter (Comes Tears)" is a Stax Records classic. The song found success in Memphis, but not even Stax Record's reputation or Booker T. Washington on the organ could force ("command + F" for Baylor) it onto national radio.
The song found new life though. RZA, Wu-Tang's mastermind and producer, sampled the track twice. First on Wu-Tang's Debut:
And again on his solo album, Digital Bullet:
All great songs, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the original.
(Side Note One: RZA's other solo album, Bobby Digital, is underrated and the weirdest Wu-related release.)
(Side Note Two: Wendy Rene was scheduled to fly with Otis Redding. She didn't. The plane crash and an immeasurable amount of talent died that day.)

LBOWDEEP BEAT
My beat, which will seem underwhelming sandwiched between prime cuts from shit other people made. But I hope you like it. I hope even more you want to rap and/sing over it.
The First
My very first collaboration.
LBOWDEEP X Atheist
Check out his other song, a collaboration with Donnie Bonelli that's is as fun as the video:
