Hip-hop producers have been sampling rock albums for decades. There are
tonnes of beats that originated from classic rock/metal albums
(eg. Bretheren, Motherlode, Black Sabbath, Power of Zeus). Countless
funky riffs and vocals can be found from rock artists for sampling in
house, hip-hop, jungle tunes. An example that comes to mind is the
Bucketheads track "These sounds fall into my mind" - a remix of Chicago's
"Streetplayer" (I was surprised when I found out it was Peter Cetera
on vocals - same dude who sung that cheezy song in that Karate Kid
movie).
