The King of Samples Hip Hop

Written By Jason Snell

James Brown, the most sample artist in history, the Godfather of Soul, created funk in Cincinnati, Ohio with his JB’s and introduced incredible breakbeats for Hip-Hop to sample for decades to come.

At WhoSampled, the online sampling database, they have found that James Brown has been sampled 2x more than the second most sampled artist in history. Check out WhoSampled for a growing catalog of James Brown and other King Records artists samples in modern music and beyond.
