I'm particularly fond of the way RZA took this:

always liked this flippage
indeed.....brilliant visionary sample ish right there! next level
word on the you know my steez!
and the rapper dapper snapper
I love this one...not a super-complicated chop, but just perfect with the bounce and the way he stabs that bass note.
a few of my faves were already mentioned. anything premo chops up is usually a jawdropping moment. what rza did for ice cream was insane. or shadowboxing. dilla for that player beat, among others. some of those kanye/just blaze samples on the blueprint were nice too. too many.
I've always thought Jazzy Jay deserved more props as a producer. The way he breaks down a bunch of sample stabs and reassembles them out of sequence is way ahead of it's time for '88. Anyone know what gear he would have used to put something like this together at that time? Could it have been an MPC60? I'm thinking it would have been too early for that.
Lots of stuff by Pete Rock.
Disco D!
Cosign on the People - amazing flip. The GOAT of flips is probably TROY for me, but that one feels a bit obvious. Shook Ones too. A brilliant flip I discovered a few months ago, thanks to my love for Pentangle and UK folk, Dilla taking this:
...and making this:
Sheer genius.
pretty average flip IMO.......not that it doesn't sound good or anything
Not really a flip, more of a good disguise. They've slowed down the sample source (maybe from 45 to 33) and played parts in reverse.
Basically the only thing they've added is the Prefuse-style plink-plonk percussion. All of the music, the voices and stuff is the sample source. And it's well mainstream.
Another favorite:
wooot!
Less is more
RJD2 aways made me scratch my head on this one![/size]

This instrumental was a favorite back when it dropped because I had just done my own flip of the same song weeks before I heard it that I was pretty proud of, then Hi-Tek obliterated mine.
yeah, it IS a nice flip
