If you’ve never heard a Girl Talk album or seen him live, you should probably add that to your bucket list. The mix-master is known for his unexpected samples and vast knowldge of what seems like every musical genre. GT also gets ultimate respect for his ability to squeeze in obscure and ultra-dope hip-hop tracks. Here are the 15 of the best hip-hop tracks Girl Talk has sampled.
.

1. “International Player’s Anthem”- UGK Feat Outkast — GT used what we believe to be the best hip-hop song of the past 15 years to frame his Feed The Animals album. Perfect choice. (“Play Your Part”)
.
2. “Paid In Full”- Eric B. And Rakin — This Feed The Animals cut showed that GT knows his way around classic hip-hop. (“Set It Off”)
.
3. “Jigga My Nigga”- Jay-Z — Girl Talk’s debut, Secret Diary, was light on hip-hop, but the man blended Jigga with the freaking ‘Price Is Right’-theme song. That’s balls and brilliance all at once. (“Unicorn Vs. Gravity”)
.
4. “B.O.B.”- Outkast — Starting an album with ‘Kast is nearly always the right move, which helped Unstoppable got off to such a bangin’ start. (“All Eyes On Me”)
.
5. “Me, Myself and I”- De La Soul — GT’s most recent album, All Day, may be his most comprehensive yet, tackling all the new pop hits. But don’t worry, as is evidenced by his De La sample, the oldies still get love. (“On And On”)
.
6. “Big Pimpin”- Jay Z Feat UGK — UGK is all over Feed The Animals, and their unforgettable single with Jay is repeated quite a few times. In fact, after listening to Feed The Animals, you’ll probably start railing off the “Big Pimpin’ lyrics the rest of the day. (“Play Your Part”)
.
7. “Go DJ”- Lil Wayne — This song from Tha Carter, arguably Weezy’s best album, sets the tone for the track on GT’s Night Ripper LP. The way it leads into a few crunk albums is absolutely perfect. (“That’s My DJ”)
.
8. “Lad Di Da Di”- Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh — Though the sample is brief, it’s enough to the get the listener hyped and ready to party. (“Oh No”)
.
9. “Player’s Anthem”- Junior M.A.F.I.A. — Having Biggie’s group sampled in a song called “All Eyes on Me” takes a lot of brass. No problem for Girl Talk. (“All Eyes On Me”)
.
10. “My Neck, My Back”- Khia — No, this song isn’t remotely bearable. But Girl Talk deserves a Grammy just for getting us through the sample wihtout having our ears bleed. (“Non-Stop Party Now”)
.
11. “Grindin”- The Clipse — GT could have let the beat ride out a tad longer, but even just one second of that bass line does the trick. (“Too Deep”)
.
12. “Posse On Broadway”- Sir Mix-A-Lot — Wait, Mr. Lot has more than one song? Kudos for knowing that, Girl Talk. (“Let It Out”)
.
13. “Nuthin’ But A G Thang”- Dr. Dre Feat Snoop Dogg — Can’t have a collection of hip-hop tracks without this one. It’s the gold standard. (“Friday Night”)
.
14. “Kryptonite (I’m On It)”- Purple Ribbon All-Stars — Girl Talk loves Outkast. As such, he constantly samples them. Come to think of it, we wouldn’t mind an entire Kast/Girl Talk compilation. Think about it, Gregg. (“Bounce That”)
.
15. “C.R.E.A.M.- Wu-Tang Clan — The beauty of Girl Talk is his ability to know which songs to let ride out. And this is the perfect example: He lets Raekwon’s verse breathe a bit before moving on. #Dope. (“What It’s All About”)
