(Sampling Database)

A community site for exploring and discussing the DNA of music, Whosampled.com is a genius piece of internet bounty that places thousands of sampled and covered tracks side by side. A mecca of both new music and old gems that fell between the woodwork, Whosampled.com is a really fun place to learn how tunes like GaGa's 'Poker Face' would never have existed without Boney M.'s 1977 disco non-hit 'Ma Baker' or see how 45-year-old iCrooner Richard Cleese's version of 'Shake Ya Ass' compares to Mystikal's 2000 original. They've also got a pretty nifty blog going, which counts down the likes of The 10 Most Sampled Breakbeats Of All Time or 10 Vocal Samples You've Heard A Million Times Before But Never Knew Where They Were From. Then there?s the added bonus of embedded streams of pesky artists like Prince and Van Morrison. Listen at: www.whosampled.com
