11/20: Article on Jay-Z and Diddy Sampling Same Song
Billboard has an
article talking about Jay-Z's "Show Me What You Got" and Diddy's "We Gon' Make It", both of which sample "Shaft in Africa" by Johnny Pate.
Chalk it up to a case of fluke timing for the hip-hop superstars, as the tracks have different producers and were cleared months apart from each other. "Show Me What You Got" was produced by Just Blaze and cleared in September, while K-Def is the producer on "We Gon' Make It," which was cleared last summer, according to a source familiar with the situation.
