Sampled: "Good Times"

In the summer of 1979, Chic released the album Risque. It opened with an eight minute long pulsing funk jam called "Good Times." A couple of months later, the song's infectious groove would underscore the first ever hip-hop track pressed to wax, "Rapper's Delight." Trace the rest of the sample's journey with cuts from Grandmaster Flash, LL Cool J, Chubb Rock, and the Beasties.
