Hip Hop which samples 30's and 40's music ?

Mr_Lee_PHD

Besides J5's Swing Set, are there any Hip Hop joints that have a 30's 40's swing vibe to them?

Peace.

If I understand the OG question, you want stuff that swings like a 30s/40s song, not just songs that sample them? If that's the case, this came immediately mind:

mannybolone

There's also this track:

Very enjoyable page of hip hop vids for me.

A few big band things that might have some hip hop feel.





1932. I've posted this to crickets before.


Ok, Maybe no hip hop feel, but cool in other ways.

Can't post videos right now, but we can probably include J-Zone's entire discography.
