Follow @yasboogie
There are two loops at the end of GYGAG they are:
- Archie Bell + the Drells – Tighten Up (percussive drums) +
- Pleasure – Sassafras Girl.
There are at least thirteen other samples in GYGAG.
I doubt if I'll disclose more relative the samples in this song yet this question has arisen before - so here it is...

Jaylib - Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme)
From the Madlib Medicine Show #11: Low Budget High Fi Music here is a track from Madlib & J Dilla from their never-realized second album.
Jaylib was formed in 2002 as Madlib + Dilla recorded separately in Los Angeles + Detroit. Their one album, Champion Sound, was released in 2003. When J Dilla moved to Los Angeles, he, Madlib + J Rocc began doing shows together as Jaylib, performing together for the first time at the Madvillain record release party in April 2004.
Madlib + Dilla collaborated primarily through the exchange of beat tapes, occasionally reworking each others material, or chopping the same beat in a kind of recorded call-and-response.

100 Akres | The Janet Jackson Beat Tape [Update]
Follow @yasboogie
Finally, giving this mix a spin (listen).
Review forthcoming.
UPDATE
The Clyde Stubblefield - "Funky Drummer" drums in "Pleasure 4 Janet" caught me by surprise - producers haven't touched these staple drums is ages. The drums are hard and push this R&B nugget to its extreme.
"Control Me" is what I come to know as signature 100 Akres - Hip-Hop overtones with Caribbean Caribana festive touched drums and ambient electro-funk that waft like kites in beach wind.
"ThinkofWHO" is the "digital confetti" that expositions, whether or not this Beat Tape keeps you on your feet throughout your listen or not, that 100 Akres is "dumb-nice".
In total, the short length of this Beat Tape along with the four weaker songs I didn't comment on left me wanting more of 100 Akres' interpolations of JJ.
Be it as it may, on balance, life is short and all else follows and throughout 100 Akres instrumentals will continue to blare from my speakers.
UPDATE
The percussion on "Wait B*tch" will encourage rain dancing in hurricane season.

Raphael Saadiq | Radio (Video)
Follow @yasboogie
Here is the first set of visuals from Stone Rollin'.
"Radio," the first single from Raphael Saadiq's fifth album SR', finds the singer-songwriter emulating the early R+B roots of rock + roll.
The song owes a lot to early, gritty, up-tempo tunes like Barrett Strong's "Money," but as with all Saadiq productions, the sound is slick and utterly modern.
*Fr1st spotted at 2DB.
