Nov 1, 2008 - "I Cant Help It" by MJ; wuz sampled by De La Soul(Breakadawn), I think a sing group called Portrait wit da song "Here We Go Again", Mary J Blige did it on her album "Mary" which featured Jadakiss. Then Will Downing did his version of this, and then Fabolous with Mike Shorey sampled it with "Baby"
KINGTO101 Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - look son it is ignorant to say that this is pure "HIP-HOP not rap" 1st of all Real Hiphopaz spell Hiphop as one word. also Hiphop is a culture Rap is a music. so its either fake rap and not Hiphop at all or it is real Rap music repping Hiphop culture to the fullest.
