Sampled: "Flashlight"
Apple Music
Parliament's "Flashlight" cracked the Top 20 when it was first released in 1978, but it would soon enjoy a second life as a sample source for hip-hop hits. The P-Funk jam's wobbling bass line and low-slung grooves are known for bedding Afrocentric musings from Jungle Brothers, pimp talk from Snoop, and Missy's futuristic spitting.
