The guitar riff in this song is a sample from Hung Up on My Baby by Isaac Hayes. Great track in it own right and the Geto Boys took it and brought it to life.

That era of production, where the term "sampling" comes from. Has some of the best reinterpretations of other artists music. Another of my absolute favorites is Pete Rock and Cl Smooth taking Tom Scotts - Today, which is another great song on it's own. Then completely turning it on it's head into a whole other feel. https://youtu.be/qs0ou8b9GS8?feature=shared Is there a 90s hip hop community?

Another great example of that is Ice Cube's "Don't Trust Em" taking Steely Dan's "Green Earring."
