“Craig Charles plays funk and soul sounds. As part of 6 Music’s Hip Hop Hooray, which is celebrating every aspect of the genre, Craig Charles shines a spotlight on hip hop’s foundations: its samples.
Thanks to passionate crate digging, rap tracks have not only been built around some of the best grooves and beats ever created, but new audiences have been turned on to a series of stone cold classics.
Showcasing the sounds behind the rhymes, Craig Charles presents an A to Z rundown of hip hop’s best samples on his Funk & Soul Show (12 August).
“We’re playing the original tunes, where all those great hip hop samples come from,” Craig explains. “Sometimes when songs were sampled they were slowed down or sped up a bit, or there’s electronic things that were done to make it difficult to find the source – but don’t worry we’ve found them!”
As a, er, sample for his 26 samples, below Craig spells out the names and stories behind five of the original tracks that feature in the rundown.”
