I’m feeling the good vibrations. I hope you like this Sampled Saturday feature that we are officially starting here. This week I bring you a song sampling NBA Jam, a song sampling one of the best rock songs of 2010 and a song sampling the above Marky Mark single. Then Bei Maejor jumps on the hit that’s about the worst thing cheaters can say to their partner… (video links next to sampled song)

Jody Duff – Jam 94′ [Prod. by AyP] (NBA Jam sample)
The Black Keys – Tighten Up ft. MENT Nelson [Hip-Hop Remix] (sampled song)
Bei Maejor – Hit Me Up Angel (Shaggy sample)
Matt Clarke – Good Vibration (sampled song above)
