Electrical relaxation and im cool like that
No Juicy? Notorious B.I.G
the base line for ice ice baby was stolen from under pesure
Bro doesn't like Tupac
Fun Fact: Twista's song Mobsters Anthem uses the same sample used in Nuthin but a G Thang ???? So, it's another "learn one bassline and you learn two songs! All for one low price!" ????
Go to AGT

I don’t think they use bass guitars for bass
where is rapp snitch knishes :´(
You had so much fun with this! When you do the next one, i net you would love playing "indo smoke" by mista Grimm, from the poetic justice soundtrack. The baseline is familiar and amazing.
Couple more fun ones that I play pretty much weekly.
Lauryn Hill – Doo Wop (That Thing)
Outkast – Hey Ya!
MF DOOM – Rapp Snitches
Kendrick Lamar – Wesley's Theory
Should of did superstar by odb
Long nite/In da game/mystic styles three six mafia and don’t forget Yonkers
3:07 RIP Coolio
Got to say I was skeptical but yeah. Good shit ????
Fantastic job, Rob! The Roots has a lots of awesome bass lines, 2Pac too. Few of them for example:
The Roots – The Next Movement
The Roots – The Spark
2Pac – Who do you believe in (sample Jamiroquai – Manifest Destiny)
2 Pac – Do for love
You went KRAZY!!!
How is hip hop by dead prez not on this list ????
i was hoping to hear "white lines melle mel"
I think So Fresh So Clean should be much higher.
Weird al is the best
I'm a little upset Scenario by a Tribe called Quest isn't on here
13 is definitely one of my favorites
GREAT SELECTION!!!!
Everybody knows vanilla Ice ripped that line from Freddy mercury
is it just me or do i remember a kendrick lamar bassline in here from years ago that just disappeared, i remember looping it for hours
deep cover ????????
Easy E's Real Muthafuckin G's and Ice Cubes No Vaseline better be on the next one
????%????❗️
Gz and hustlas by Snoop Dogg is underrated
Well played. No soul or feel at all. Far too technical but well played
i was expecting Kookies
Thank you for including Weird Al.
I just realized he's been using tapping on a bass guitar off neck
8 Years Later, This list hasn't changed that much since then
The second onde sounds like freak on a leash
2:19 More like So Fresh, So Phat
That baseline is smooth as
loved that you included Lookin Boy haha
Collard greens bassline is crazy
Lovely!
heck yah that was unreal I can't believe that was 8 years ago there so many on here I wanna learn now loving bass and hip hop rap music
Oakland Blackouts by Hieroglyphics would have been a great addition to this list too.
juicy wasn’t in there.
