Her career spanned over six decades, breaking numerous records on the way. However it is her soul, her voice that was so powerful and moving. Through the music she gave us the entire spectrum of human emotions. Felt it would be fitting to give her a tribute by highlighting some of her work that has been sampled over the years by hip hop artists.<\/p>\n<p>The first song to mention is \u201cOne Step Ahead\u201d released in 1965. At this point in her career Aretha was still establishing herself, right on the cusp of becoming a star. The song was a single not on any album but did manage to be a top 20 hit on the r&amp;b charts. The song was famously sampled on Mos Def\u2019s \u201cMs. Fat Booty\u201d from his 1999 debut album <strong><em>Black on Both Sides<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aretha Franklin \u2013 One Step Ahead<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HyWo7DaKQGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Mos Def \u2013 Ms. Fat Booty<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/01yUzXQctcM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next song to discuss is \u201cThink\u201d off of the 1968 album <strong><em>Aretha Now<\/em><\/strong>. The song was a smash, breaking the top ten on the billboard charts. It would be used on 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Bass\u2019s track \u201cThe Gas Face\u201d off <strong><em>The Cactus Album <\/em><\/strong>released in 1989. The single would be one of the largest of the group\u2019s career. Aretha\u2019s 1970 track \u201cCall Me\u201d from the album <strong><em>This Girl\u2019s in Love with You<\/em><\/strong> would be another number one hit on the r&amp;b charts. The track was seamlessly sampled on Slum Village\u2019s \u201cSelfish\u201d from the 2004 album Detroit Deli ( A Taste of Detroit). It would be the group\u2019s biggest hit and produced by Kanye West.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aretha Franklin \u2013 Think<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hsL9UL9qbv8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>3<sup>rd<\/sup> Bass \u2013 The Gas Face<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QYp28tEAVvs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Aretha Franklin \u2013 Call Me<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LlEf5uo-pw8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Slum Village \u2013 Selfish feat.
