Sample 50

For the 50th song I have kept a surprise! This song is probably the most sampled in Hip-Hop history: Apache.

The Shadows - Apache:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY-rPDwzM9M
This was the very first recorded version of this Instrumental in 1960.

A 1973 version by the Incredible Bongo Band has been called "hip-hop's national anthem". Although this version was not a hit on release, the long percussion break in the middle has been sampled countless times on hip-hop, rap and dance tracks from the 1980s.
