Music easter eggs / Who sampled whom

Who sampled whom

A sample is a piece of one record hidden inside another, which makes it an easter egg. Every sample here has proof, a timestamp nobody can edit, and the name of the hunter who documented it. Grouped by the track that got lifted, busiest first.
