10 Hip Hop Songs With Surprising Samples

5. The Game's "Ali Bomaye" Samples "Seven Devils" By Florence And The Machine

Which one of you thought West Coast MC The Game and British songstress Florence and the Machine would be on a song together and it would be good? Nope, didn't think any of you did either. So it must've been a nice surprise when producer Black Metaphor came up with the idea of combining the two artists together to create one of the biggest hip hop bangers of 2013. Taken from the album Jesus Piece Ali Bomaye - which means, "Ali, kill him." and was chanted by those in attendance at the legendary Rumble in the Jungle fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974, takes Florence Welch's powerful vocals from the slow, brooding Seven Devils off of her second album Ceremonials and completely flips it on its head, turning it into an up-tempo club track that'll make you want to get up off your feet while holding a bottle of Dom Perignon and dance like you've just won the lottery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU4ZvfkmOck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBcXe2B97TQ
