y'know how you would hear jay-z verses as hooks on every song after the black album, or parts of "it ain't hard to tell" in a billion indie 12's from that era. what accapella appeared on the most songs?

    Biz Markie's early shit, including "Just Rhymin' With The Biz"

    Looked at another way, here are some acapella raps that are influential:

    let it roll, get bold
    I just can't hold back or fold
    Cause I'm a man with soul
    In control and effect, so what the heck
    Rock the discotheque and this jam is what's next

    or

    that one was definitely well used in early house

    This was the first to come to mind, followed closely by half a dozen Eric B and Rakim tracks.

    This one gets my vote. Just the first word alone has been used a ton.

    Big L "M.V.P." deserves a mention here, but yeah, "Shook Ones" pretty much takes it. Every DJ who has ever dropped an acapella over a beat has dropped "Shook Ones."

    What's the criteria here?

    The Most sample WORD in Hop Hop?

    The most frequently used SENTENCE?

    The most used ACCAPELLA for Blends/remixes?

    Hands down, it's Lil Keke's first verse from Pimp the Pen...

    [Lil Keke]
    I'm draped up and dripped out
    Know what I'm talkin' 'bout
    Three in the mornin, gettin' the gat out the stash spot
    Fire up a fat sweet
    Turnin' on the bulb light
    Hand on the wood grain
    Ass on the tight white
    showin' naked ass in the great state of Texas
    Home of the playas, so there never be no plexin'
    So long we've been waitin'
    Never ever hatin'
    In Houston we Elbows, In Cali they Daytons
    So 1996 you hoes better duck
    Because the world gone drip candy and be all Screwed Up
    Just pop in yo gray cassette set
    Turn up your fuckin' deck
    Lend me your ear because the SOUTHSIDE finna wreck
    Down here we smoke tree
    Then let the world see true hidden talent like Screw and Lil Keke
    Ain't no love for hatas and you busted big suckas
    On the south side we stayin paid MuthaFucka!

    Top Billin - thats how it is/when um busting up a party i feel no guilt/thats how i feel/...and the list goes on
    Peter Piper - not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good/go!/there is it/
    Rock the Bells - beginning first few lines, have been used multiple times
    La Di Da Di - also used multiple times

    any Rakim tracks

    a lot of you are just saying songs that have a drop in the beat for a line or just normal songs.

    I thought we're talking 12"s that have acapellas on them.

    There were 50-eleven different electronic remixes of Tried by 12 that that crowd ate up like candy bracelet links.
