Sample Notes

This album is a treasure trove for funk sampling:

• “Chocolate City” – Funk anthem with quotable grooves still sampled by modern DJs and hip-hop producers.
• “Let Me Be” – Deep gospel and jazz‑inspired funk rhythms perfect for chopped loops.
• “Big Footin’” – Driven by punchy brass and beat breakouts—a producer’s dream.
  While not as frequently sampled as other Parliament cuts, all these grooves are ripe for sampling, combining swagger, melody, and that unmistakable P‑Funk swing.
