SOS title track sampling Listen counts right ? 

Get Me Bodied was produced by Swizz Beats so does It's Me (Remix) count as a sample??

I think that's an interpolation, not a sample.

One of my favorites

I think so. He was being generous, but all of the co-writers received songwriting credit on the remix.

 

About You by XXYYXX samples End Of Time at 1:41.

 

She’s excellent at this and has done it incredibly since her debut I mean CiL and Naughty Girl alone end careers

Beautiful Liar:

If Beyonce did what SZA did with "Listen" for one of her songs, trust and believe Beyonce + the 3 other writers would receive formal credit. However, everyone is not as generous as she is with writing credits. It's been said that if you're in the room when the song was made, or you simply passed the demo to someone who you knew could add something (ie.. producer Emile Haynie not touching the song but passing "Hold Up" to Father John Misty to complete the first verse and hook)..., you get a Beyonce songwriting credit.

Something about this sounds like a Solange demo or something Ari Lennox would release as an interlude. (Samples "Kitty Kat")

Skrillex just sampled "Top Off" on "ANDY" from his surprise album released today:

 

 

LOL. If Kanye had a ghostwriter, it would be this guy. 

 

Why did no one tell me Lil Nas X interpolated "Cuff It" on the "Light Again!" chorus and gave the team writing credits?

 

 

Interpolates "Family Feud" from 4:44.  This sounds like a Grammy-winner.

Summer Walker has sampled another Beyonce song.    I love that both Summer Walker and Ella Mai are such fans. Both have now sampled her twice.

It debuted on the Hot 100 charts, US R&B/Hip-Hop Charts, and the New Zealand Heatseekers chart. 

Were these already posted in the other thread? 
 

 

And there are some Drake samples that are totally escaping me right now

Thank You! I've added all of the official ones between both pages. 

Drake (and Tory Lamez) have frequently sampled or interpolated Beyonce / DC, but I've tried to only include the ones with official releases (not mixtapes).
