It’s kind of like book report written by someone who only watched the last five minutes of the movie adaption. Biz Markie – “Romeo & Juliet”īiz tapped Withers for what (in hindsight) is a really strange song. He was sued a few years ago for failing to get the paperwork straight for a direct sample used on “I Do This” off his self-titled debut release. Dot sampled Withers, however it’s the first time he went through the proper channels to clear the sample. Kendrick Lamar – “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst”

This is one of those remixes that would’ve been much harder to clear after Will Smith’s timeless ode to fatherhood. Yeezy lifts the emotional keys off “Rosie” for this sentimental account of a hospital visit with his dying grandmother. The breakdown from “Kissing My Love” became the backbone for the third and final single from Dr. Dre f. Snoop Dogg, Jewell & Ruben – “Let Me Ride”Ī classic used to make a classic. Kanye West took the “Use Me” title literally, grabbing a drum breakdown to create this criminally slept on collaboration for Nas’ Hip Hop Is Dead LP. Nas f. Kanye West and Chrisette Michele – “Still Dreamin'” K.R.I.T gives a lyrical nod to lesser known Withers classic in this hyper-emotional cut off of his 2010 mixtape K.R.I.T Wuz Here. As the world mourns the loss of legendary musician and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bill Withers, HipHopDX thought it would be an appropriate time to reflect on some of the great Hip Hop songs inspired by his music.Įxcluding obvious ones, such as Will Smith’s timeless “Just The Two Of Us” and crossovers such as the enduring party staple “No Diggity” by Blackstreet, we’ve compiled a list of 20 songs worth multiple spins.
